[2] The time of True and False Dreams: عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّادِقَةُ وَ الْكَاذِبَةُ مَخْرَجُهُمَا مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ أَمَّا الْكَاذِبَةُ الْمُخْتَلِفَةُ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَرَاهَا فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سُلْطَانِ الْمَرَدَةِ الْفَسَقَةِ وَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ شَيْءٌ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ وَ هِيَ كَاذِبَةٌ مُخَالِفَةٌ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهَا وَ أَمَّا الصَّادِقَةُ إِذَا رَآهَا بَعْدَ الثُّلُثَيْنِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَعَ حُلُولِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَبْلَ السَّحَرِ فَهِيَ صَادِقَةٌ لَا تَخَلَّفُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ جُنُباً أَوْ يَنَامَ عَلَى غَيْرِ طَهُورٍ وَ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَقِيقَةَ ذِكْرِهِ فَإِنَّهَا تَخْتَلِفُ وَ تُبْطِئُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from al-Nazr ibn Suwayd from Durust ibn abu Mansur from Abu Basir who has narrated: ‘I once asked Abu ‘Abd Allah -asws saying, ‘I pray to Allah -azwj to Keep my soul in service for your -asws cause, dreams come from the same place, then how is it that certain ones are true and others are false?’ The Imam -asws replied: ‘What you said is right.

A man may see in the beginning of the night during the domination of rebels and sinful ones which is only one’s imaginations, it is false and contradicting and there is not anything good in it. The true dreams are the ones, which take place after the two-thirds of the night are passed which is just before dawn when the angels arrive.
