Waking Up & Before Sleep

After a Bad Dream

Source: Sahih Muslim 2261

أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

Transliteration

A'udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajim.

Translation

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed.

What this dua means

A bad dream is from Satan, so you turn to Allah and refuse to fear it.

When to read it

Spit lightly to your left three times, say this, turn to your other side, and do not tell anyone.

Its virtue

The dream will not harm you, by Allah's permission.
