Khalid ibn al-Walid's frightening dream

It reached me from Yahya ibn Sa'id that Khalid ibn al-Walid said to the Messenger of God: I am frightened in my dreams. The Messenger of God said to him: say: I seek refuge in God's perfect words from His wrath and punishment and the evil of His servants, and from the promptings of the devils and their presence. The muhaqqiq notes the hadith is well-known both connected and disconnected ¹ Muwatta 31:2737.

In this report dreams can be frightening, their cause being the devils' promptings, and the legislated remedy is seeking refuge in God's perfect words ¹.
