The Characteristics of the Dream Interpreter
1) He should be pious
2) He should have knowledge of the Qur'an and Sunnah
3) He should have knowledge of the Language
4) He should have knowledge of the people - their customs, situation, lifestyle
5) He should verify the truth and ask the one seeking interpretation in detail.
6) If he does not know the interpretation, he should say "I don't know"
Imam Ibn Sireen was an Imam in this field. He would be asked 100 times regarding dreams, and answer only one.
7) He should conceal the dream of the one seek intepretation
8) He should be able to distinguish and tell who the dream is for.
E.g. The Wife sees a dream and it may be regarding her husband.
9) He should not be hasty in interpreting the dream. He should know the state of the person.
10) He should be kind and gentle when he interprets. He should give a positive interpretation. If there is an evil in the dream he should keep quiet.
11) He should thank Allah if Allah guided him to the correct interpretation; because it is from Allah. In [12:101]:
""My Lord! You have indeed bestowed on me of the sovereignty, and taught me the interpretation of dreams;......"
Seeing the Prophet ﷺ in a Dream
Seeing the Prophet ﷺ is a blessing from Allah.
Imam An-Nawawi said the person who sees the Prophet ﷺ in the dream, will see him on the Day of Judgement, be near to him, and enjoy his intercession.
From this Hadith we learn the the Shaytan takes forms in dreams. He can come in another form and say he is the Prophet ﷺ. This means that we need to know the description of the Prophet ﷺ.
