Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 35, Hadith 15
narrated from Abu ‘Ubaidullah Muslim bin Mishkam, that ‘Awf
bin
Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Dreams are of three types: Some are terrifying things from Satan, aimed at causing grief to the son of Adam; some are things that a person is concerned with when he is awake, so he sees them in his dreams; and some are a part of the forty-six parts of prophecy.” He said: “I said to him: ‘Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ He said: ‘Yes, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).’”
“ إِنَّ الرُّؤْيَا ثَلاَثٌ مِنْهَا أَهَاوِيلُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لِيَحْزُنَ بِهَا ابْنَ آدَمَ وَمِنْهَا مَا يَهُمُّ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ فِي يَقَظَتِهِ فَيَرَاهُ فِي مَنَامِهِ وَمِنْهَا جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ ” . قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .

Sahih (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. As a key component of the Kutub al-Sittah, Sunan Ibn Majah was authored by the Islamic scholar Ibn Majah (d. 886 CE) and includes roughly 4,000 prophetic traditions. The scope of the work is comprehensive, covering essential areas such as theological beliefs, laws governing worship, moral principles, and various societal matters. It is important to note that while the collection is highly valued, its status is distinct from the other five major books. Scholars frequently place it in a separate category because its contents include a proportion of weak or disputed narrations not found in the more stringent compilations. However, its comprehensive nature ensures its continued importance as a scholarly resource.
