Detailed book entry

without marriage contract, and she has got pregnant from you.He said: Yes. If the fruit is good, then look and see. If it is more beneficial, thenit is indicative of a lot of benefits and provision, and the dreamer’sprofession may change to something better, such as one who dreamsthat he is taking dates or grapes from a fig tree, or if he takes somethingof lesser value or takes something that does not last, such as taking freshroses from the saffron plant or Jasmine from the safflower, in whichcase it signifies the opposite. If that refers to a child, he will be shortlived. If it refers to trouble, it will quickly pass. A man dreamt that he was eating honey in its wax from a date palm. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: You took a bee hive from a manof high status or from a woman. He said: Yes. Another man dreamt that he was drinking milk from a grapevine andit was good. He said to him: You took a cow or a sheep from a nobleman. He said: That is right. If a ruler dreams that he picked an apple from an apricot tree, he willimpose taxes on his subjects that were not there before. If he dreams that he got a squash from a melon plant, he will recoverdue to supplication or medicine. Fruit Turning into Another Kind of Fruit As for one fruit turning into another, that is like a human turning intoan animal. A man said: I dreamt that I had a lemon and it turned into anapple. He said to him: You have a wife who is very mean, but she willmend her ways, and in your garden you have a plant that is not veryuseful, but you will uproot it and put something better in its place. Hesaid: You are right. Another man said: I went to a colocynth to eat it, and I found thatit had turned into a sweet melon. He said to him: You looked for yourneed to be met by a difficult person, but it was met easily. Another man said: I dreamt that I was eating sweet melon and itturned into a colocynth. He said to him: You will have some troublefrom your acquaintances, and if you ask for what you need, your needwill not be met, and you may suffer diarrhoea. II. Drinks As for drinks, they are all types of liquids. We have discussed drinkingwater above, when we discussed causes, and we also discussed milk,honey and olive oil. What is meant here is taking them from inanimateobjects and animals. We also mentioned wine and what may resembleintoxication, such as insanity, unconsciousness and sleep. Liquids Taken from Inanimate Objects and Animals As for taking liquids from inanimate objects and animals, if theyare contaminated because of it, then they signify provision and benefitsfrom those indicated. If there was contamination or it was accompaniedby some harm, there will be trouble from those indicated. Alcohol With regard to wine or alcohol, it is Haraam wealth according to theMuslims, and drinking it (in the dream) is indicative of being temptedaway from religion and giving up worship. For a governor, drinking itsignifies dismissal. A man said to Ibn Sireen: I dreamt that I had two vessels in my hands;in one of them there was milk and in the other there was Nabeedh. Hesaid: The milk signifies dismissal and the Nabeedh signifies dismissal. And it was not long before he was dismissed. Intoxication One of them said: Becoming intoxicated without drinking alcohol isindicative of distress, because Allah says: “And you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet theywill not be drunk, but severe will be the Torment of Allah.”[al-Hajj 22:2] He said: Becoming intoxicated from drinking alcohol is indicativeof richness mixed with insolence, and it was said that it signifies theposition of authority that he will attain, or that it is indicative of security,because the drunkard never gets scared of anything, and there was apoint in that. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: If a person becomes intoxicated fromeating something or from drinking alcohol, for the one who regardsthat as Haraam it signifies distress, a loss of glory, debts and burdens,because the one who does that will be subject to the Hadd punishments. Becoming intoxicated for no reason is indicative of paying off debtsand relief from hardships, because he is not accountable when he is in astate of intoxication. If he dreams that he is stumbling because of that,this refers to something bad. With regard to being intoxicated as a result of fearing Allah or whenreading Qur’an or listening to exhortation, that is indicative of worshipand adhering to Sharee’ah, because in that case he will appear to beabsorbed in worldly matters but deep down in his heart he is preoccupiedwith remembering Allah. That may also be interpreted as referring torelief, payment of debt, repentance of evildoers and embracing of Islamby a Kaafir. It also indicates that the dreamer will find relief from theperson indicated, as one of the dream interpreters said: I dreamt that Ibecame intoxicated with love of Allah and I was making a show of thatintoxication. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: Your worship willincrease and your faith will become sounder than it was, and you willdie a martyr. And he died in Jihad. Another man dreamt that and he said: The gatekeeper of the rulerwill give you something and you will rejoice over it. And that is whathappened. Another man said: I dreamt that I was reading the Verse in whichAllah says: “That home of the Hereafter (i.e. Paradise), We shall assignto those who rebel not against the truth with pride and oppressionin the land nor do mischief by committing crimes. And the goodend is for the Muttaqûn (the pious).” [Al-Qasas 28:83] And that I was intoxicated from reading it. He said to him: You are ina position of authority and you have property and houses, and you havespoken to one of the righteous people about giving up your position andallocating the best of your property as a Waqf. Then he added: This manwas sallow of face, and tall, and his name is Sulaymaan. He said: Yes. A man said: I dreamt that I saw a hoopoe singing with a fine voiceand I was enjoying it. He said: And you started swaying from side toside when listening to its voice, which is contrary to your habit. Then headded: You will have trouble from a man of high position, and he maybe a messenger who is sent with a threat to you, and he may be wearinga coloured garment. He said: That has already happened. Another man said: I dreamt that I ate some fresh dates from apalm tree and got intoxicated. He said: You will have trouble with awoman whose name is Maryam and she has a daughter whose name isMaryam. A man said: I dreamt that I became intoxicated from eating raisins. He said: You will have trouble from sickness in your head which iscaused by yellow bile. Another man said: I dreamt that a palm tree struck me and I becameintoxicated as a result. He said: An arrow or stone will strike your headand will give you trouble. Insanity Insanity or madness is indicative of trouble from some people who areKaafirs or evildoers, because the origin of the word Kufr is concealmentand the devils are concealed from the eyes of people, and they are alsoevildoers, because the one who harms people is an evildoer. Unconsciousness and Sleep These are indicative of relief from hardship, being saved fromtrouble, cancellation of a traveller’s journey, cessation of a worshipper’sworship, trouble befalling the guards and safety for one who is afraid. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: Sleep is indicative of relief becausethe body finds rest in it. And it is indicative of travel, because the soulgoes and comes back. Rise and Fall of Prices With regard to indication of the rise and fall of prices, it should benoted that if the food is seen among animals’ feet or being walked onor being thrown in the street, that is indicative of disrespect towardsit, which is a sign that it is cheap. If it is seen on the backs of animalsand porters, this is a sign that prices are rising. If it is seen on roofs andhigh places, that means that prices will go even higher. If it is seen inthe storage places of the perfume sellers or being given as a gift amongthe people themselves, that is a sign of extreme high prices. If fightingtakes place between the people and the King, this is indicative of lowfood prices; if fighting occurs among the people, it is indicative of highprices. Seeing green ears of corn, fat cattle and a lot of rain in season isindicative of prosperity; dry corn is a sign of high prices, as are leancattle. This has been discussed above. Sweet Becoming Sour andGood Becoming Bad (and Vice Versa) With regard to sweet things turning into sour or good into bad andvice versa, Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: Everything bad, if it turnsinto something sweet, is indicative of safety from fear, provision andrelief from an unexpected quarter. It is also indicative of reform of thatwhich has been corrupted, availability of work and relief from hardship. But if something good turns into something bad or sweet turns intosour, then it is the opposite. And Allah knows best.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
