Abu Razin al-Uqayli narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The vision of a believer is one part of forty parts of prophethood, and it is on the foot of a bird as long as it is not spoken of. Once it is spoken of, it falls.” He added, I think: “And do not narrate it except to an intelligent person or a beloved one.” [Narrated by Tirmidhi].
In Abu Dawud’s narration: “The vision is on the foot of a bird as long as it is not interpreted. Once interpreted, it comes to pass.” And I think he said: “Do not narrate it 2 except to a friend or a wise person.”

Note 2
(2) The statement: “Do not narrate it except to a beloved or intelligent person”: Meaning a rational person, for they either interpret it favorably or remain silent about what is disliked. Thus, in Al-Mirqat. It is said in Al-Alamgiriyyah: If one sees a remarkable vision, they should praise Allah, the Exalted, as it is a blessing. Then, if they wish, they may narrate it to someone they trust, or they may refrain from narrating it. Thus, in Al-Wajiz lil-Kurdari.

(٢) قوله: لا تحدث إلا حبيبا أو لبيبا: أي عاقلًا؛ فإنه إما أن يعبر بالمحبوب أو يسكت عن المكروه. قاله في (المرقاة).وقال في (العالمكيرية): وإن رأى رؤيا عجيبة حمد اللّٰه تعالى؛ لأنها نعمة، ثم إن شاء قصَّها على من يثق به، وإن شاء لميقصها. كذا في (الوجيز للكردري).

عالمگیری میں ہے اگر اچھا خواب دیکھے تو اللہ کی تعریف کرے کیونکہ وہ ایک نعمت ہے پھر چاہے تو کسی قابل اعتماد شخص سے بیان کرے یا چاہے تو بیان نہ کرے۔ (وجیز للکردری)
