Detailed book entry

signifies wealth from inheritance. Sugarcane is indicative of sweet words. All sweets are indicative of agood life and attaining happiness. Note He said: Look at what is edible of animals and otherthings, and tell the dreamer what befits him at that time. For example, a person said: I dreamt that I was eating theear of a horse raw and it was yellow. I said to him: Youstole an earring from a female and disposed of it. He said: Yes. One of them said: I dreamt that I was eating the tailsof horses and they tasted good in my mouth. I said to him:You make sieves and you benefit from them. And I said toanother man: You make vermicelli. A man dreamt that he was eating the skins of animalswhen they were alive. I said: You eat by taking people’sfabric. Another man dreamt that but he said that he waseating them cooked. I said: You are benefiting by makingsieves. And it all turned out as I said. Meat There are several categories. Camel meat Camel meat is indicative of wealth acquired from a strong enemy. I say: eating camel meat may be indicative of grudges and generosity,because the one who eats it acquires the characteristics of a camel. Beef This is indicative of exhaustion, because it is slow to digest. Andit was said that grilled beef is indicative of safety from fear and gladtidings. The evidence for that is the story of Ibraaheem (May Allah be please with him) with the angels Goat Meat Lamb is better than goat meat. Some of them said that if the lamb iscooked, that indicates that one will get provision and some trouble. Hesaid: If he sees a room filled with sheep that have been slaughtered andskinned and hung up, he will come to know people he does not knowand he will meet people who will bring him some joy. If the skinnedmeat is lean, then those people will be poor and he will not benefit fromthem because of their poverty, and vice versa. If he dreams that they are not skinned, he will love someone. If they are fat, he will inherit fromthat loved one. Eating the head cooked or grilled is indicative of benefiting fromsome leader. Eating blood is indicative of consuming wealth or findingburied wealth. Eating the feet or trotters is indicative of consumingorphans’ wealth. Similarly, eating lamb or liver is indicative of strengthor benefiting from one’s child. Birds Eating the well cooked meat of a bird which is permissible to eatsignifies wealth from an enemy and a plot from a woman, because thechicken is indicative of wealth. If it is not well cooked, he will backbiteabout a woman. Eating meat that it is not permissible to eat is indicativeof Haraam wealth. Eating the flesh of carnivores is indicative of Haraam wealth fromwrongdoers and indicates that the nature of those people is like thenature of those animals, on the basis of what is mentioned above. Fish Big fish signify Halaal provision because they have few bones. Small fish also signify Halaal provision but there is some hardship andtrouble involved in it, because they have a lot of bones. Note Eating human flesh is indicative of backbiting. A man dreamtthat he was eating dead people and Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen saidto him: You dig graves and consume the price of their shrouds. Thepoint here is that the one who sees himself putting the dead into hisstomach is like the one who buries them. Another man dreamt thathe was taking the dead and putting them in his mouth, then spittingthem out. He said to him: You wash the deceased because saliva inthe mouth is like the water with which they are washed. Fruit Fruit are of two types, dry and fresh. Dried fruit Such as dates, raisins, figs, walnuts and the like. All of these signifyprovision, and we have seen at the beginning of the book that they maybe categorized according to the ease or difficulty of eating them. A man said to Ibn Sireen (May Allah be please with him): I dreamt that I found forty dates atthe gate of the emir. He said to him: You will be given forty lashes withthe stick. Then he came to him after that with the same dream. He saidto him: You will get one thousand Dirhams. He asked him about thereason for that and he said: You told me about your first dream when thetrees were drying up at the end of the year, and you told me about yoursecond dream when the sap was rising in the trees. And in each case itturned out as he said. But in my view, there is some problem with this interpretation,because the leaves of the date palm do not dry up. What he meant bydates was fresh dates, not dried dates, because dried dates are alwaysavailable. And when he spoke about it being dry, he was referring to thetime for fresh dates having passed; he did not mean that the tree itselfdries up. One of them said: If he dreams that he is eating dried dates, hisdream is indicative of reading the Qur’an. Another one said: Rather itis indicative of provision that is purely for him, or it means that he mayhear some good and beneficial words. If he dreams that he split the datestone, he will be blessed with a child, because Allah says: “ Verily, it is Allah Who causes the seed grain and the fruitstone (like date stone) to split and sprout. He brings forth theliving from the dead, and it is He Who brings forth the dead fromthe living. ” [al - An’am 6:95] And if he dreamt that he was eating dried dates with pitch, hewill divorce his wife. These interpretations vary according to thecircums tances of the dreamer.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
