Hadith #370
Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ وَبَهْزٌ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ بَهْزٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ وَكِيعَ بْنَ حُدَسٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي رَزِينٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى
اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنْ النُّبُوَّةِ وَهِيَ عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا فَإِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَا سَقَطَتْ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ لَا يُحَدِّثُ بِهَا إِلَّا حَبِيبًا أَوْ لَبِيبًا

English Translation
ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī and Bahz narrated to us — with the same meaning — they said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Yaʿlā ibn ʿAṭāʾ — Bahz said in his narration: Yaʿlā ibn ʿAṭāʾ informed me — he said: I heard Wakīʿ ibn Ḥudas, from his uncle Abū Razīn who said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The dream of a believer is one-fortieth part of prophethood. It hangs on the leg of a bird as long as he does not speak of it. Once he speaks of it, it falls.' And I think he said: 'One should relate it only to a beloved friend or a person of discernment.'
