Detailed book entry
(Peace be upon him) said to ‘Uthmaan (May Allah be please with him): “Allah will clothe you in a shirt that you will be able to take off, but do not take it off.” What he was referring to was the caliphate. “Abd al-Rahmaan ibn al-Qata said that he dreamt that he put on garment that came down from heaven, and he was appointed as a judge. It seems to me that it has to do with the situation of the dreamer. If someone who is qualified to be a judge, Khateeb or Imam dreams that Allah clothes him in a good garment, then it should be said that he will be appointed to the position that befits him, but if he is an ascetic or one who does not care about worldly gain, then it may be what they mention (i.e., calamity). One of them said: If he sees light (in his dream) and he is not sure about it and cannot describe it, he will not be deprived of what he possesses as long as he lives. What is meant is that he will be honored in such a way that he will turn away from the pleas ures of this world, and that means sickness. He said: If Allah, calls him by his name or by another name that is better than his name, he will become prominent and prevail over his enemies, meaning his human enemies. If he dreams that Allah is angry with h im, this indicates that his parents are angry with him, because it is narrated that the pleasure of Allah, may He be exalted, is connected to the pleasure of one’s parents, and His anger is connected to the discontent of one’s parents. And it was said: who ever dreams that Allah, may He be exalted, is angry with him will fall from a high place, because Allah says: “ And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished.” [Ta - Ha 20:81] By the same token, if a person dreams that he falls from heaven or fr om a high place, that indicates that Allah, is angry with him. This interpretation is indicative of the soundness of al - Hanbali’s view that the interpretation depends on the deeds of the dreamer. The basic principle is that whoever sees the Creator one of the angels, Prophets &, Companions, Siddeeqs, or the righteous in a good image, and he brings him close to him or he speaks to him and promises him something good, then this is glad tidings of a rise in status. And if he is one of those who are qualified t o be in authority, then he will gain a position of authority that befits him, such as becoming a judge, teacher, Khateeb, Imam, or supervisor of the marketplace, or he may get closer to kings or people in authority, or he may get something good from one wh o has authority over him, such as his father or master. If he is a disbeliever he will become Muslim, or if he is a sinner he will repent, or if he is sick he will die, or perhaps he will go for Hajj. As for the one who sees them in a negative way, or he d reams that they threaten him or turn away from him, this indicates that one who is in authority over him will become angry with him, such as the ruler, governor, father, teacher or master, or he may change his religion.
Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
