حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ وَكِيعَ بْنَ عُدُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَهِيَ عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ يَتَحَدَّثْ بِهَا فَإِذَا تَحَدَّثَ بِهَا سَقَطَتْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَلاَ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَا إِلاَّ لَبِيبًا أَوْ حَبِيبًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

But when it is spoken of it drops." I think he said: " And it should not be discussed except with an intelligent one or a beloved one."
