The good dream: a forty-sixth part of prophethood

Al-Muwatta relates from Anas ibn Malik (may God be pleased with him) that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: the good dream of a righteous man is a forty-sixth part of prophethood. From Ata ibn Yasar that the Messenger of God said: nothing remains of prophethood after me but the glad tidings. They asked: what are the glad tidings, Messenger of God? He said: the good dream which a righteous man sees or which is seen for him, a forty-sixth part of prophethood. From Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him) that the Messenger of God, when he finished the dawn prayer, would say: did any of you see a dream last night? And he would say: nothing remains of prophethood after me but the good dream ¹ Muwatta 2746 Muwatta 2749 Muwatta 2748.

These texts belong to the chapters of dreams in the Muwatta; they hold that the good dream is a remnant of prophethood after revelation ceased, which is why it was counted among the glad tidings ¹.
