After a bad dream or a nightmare

After a bad dream or a nightmare: 2 supplications in Arabic with English translation and sources, from the Fortress of the Muslim (Hisn al-Muslim).

ما يفعل من رأى الرؤيا أو الحلم

1. [ (يَنْفُثُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ (ثلاثاً - (يَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا رَأَى (ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ - لاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا أَحَداً - يَــتَحَوَّلُ عَنْ جَنْبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ ]

   Spit lightly to one’s left (three times), seek refuge with Allah from Satan and from the evil of what one saw (three times), tell no one about it, and turn over to the other side from the one on which one was sleeping.

2. ويَقُومُ يُصَلِّي إِنْ أَرَادَ ذَلِكَ.

   Get up and pray, if one wishes.
