Ayat 4. (Remember) when Yusuf (Joseph) said to his father:
"O my father! Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon,
I saw them prostrating themselves to me."
Ayat 5. He (the father) said: "O my son! Relate not your
vision to your brothers, lest they arrange a plot against you. Verily!
Shaitan (Satan) is to man an open enemy!
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be
pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "All that is left from Prophethood is the
glad tidings.'' He was asked what the glad tidings were, and he said, "The good
dream.''
[Al-Bukhari Volume 9, Book 87, Hadith # 119].
Lesson
: as mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat 4.
Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon, I saw
them prostrating themselves to me." Dreams are both pleasant and unpleasant or nightmarish. Sometimes a dream
is based on truth and foreshadows a coming event. The significance of such a
dream is realised at a moment when our vision flows into a real occurrence.
Coming to the meaning of this Hadith, since the institution of Prophethood is
abolished, Revelation too cannot descend upon anybody. Yet, one Prophetic
vestige still exists and that means a prophetic dream about some future event.
It may be with a good or bad omen, though this Hadith brings into focus dreams
with good tidings alone.
