A senior person sees a bad dream about 3 young people of his/her family; He/she narrates it unfortunately. Two of those young people suffer severely in their marital life. The third is going to get married now. What should he/she do to avoid any 'shar'.

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

Part of the proper conduct concerning seeing a bad dream is that whoever sees it should conceal it and not relate it to others. So this brother was wrong for telling his dream to the people. Please refer to Fataawa 83663 and 158551.

Nonetheless, it does not necessarily follow that what happened to these two young people was because of that dream, nor that the third of them will be affected by it.

In any case, a Muslim should ask Allaah for well-being in this worldly life and in the Hereafter. Supplication is part of the predetermination, and Allaah may repel with it much affliction. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "There is nothing that repels predetermination except supplication." [Ahmad, At-Tirmithi and Ibn Maajah]

The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to supplicate as follows: "O Allaah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this life and the next. O Allaah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religious and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth. O Allaah, cover my faults and settle my fears. O Allaah, protect me from the front and from behind and on my right and on my left and from above, and I seek refuge in Your Greatness from catastrophe below me." [Ahmad and Ibn Maajah]

Allaah Knows best.
