Melon in Dream Islam

Detailed book entry

Eating melon before its season is indicative of trouble and sickness. In season, if it is eaten before it is ripe, that is indicative of physicalhealth. If it is eaten after it is ripe, he will encount er grief and will notknow where it comes from, and he will not know how to get out of it. Ibn Sireen said: If a person who is in prison dreams that he is eatingmelon, he will get out of prison, because Allah says: “So send one of you with this silver coin of yours.”[al-Kahf 18:19] One of them said: The best food is melons. If person dreams that he reached his hand to heaven and took somemelon from it, he will seek power and will attain it quickly. A man dreamt that some melons were thrown into his house. Thedream interpreter said to him: The same number of people in your familywill die as the number of those melons. And that is what happened. The basic principle is that it signifies provision. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) usedto eat it and he liked it. There are Hadeeths which indicate that the onewho eats it will be rewarded. This is what the dream interpreter said, butthey could not find it. Perhaps those who interpreted it as referring to sickness associatedwith which it is digested and its yellow colour with the yellow colourof sickness. In my experience it is indicative of trouble. When the emirIbn Abi Ishaaq came to Jawbah, I dreamt that Yahya ibn Tashfeen cameto me in Qafsah and stopped to rest beneath the wall of the garden thatwas known to us as al-‘Unnaab, and to his right and left there weremelons. I said to some of the people who were close to me: al-‘Unnaab(jujube) is ‘Ana’un aab (trouble coming back} and melon is trouble, butthey will not be able to enter Tunis at this time and it is inevitable thathe and his companion will have some trouble and hardship. And that iswhat happened. Indian melon is indicative of a man who is regarded by people asboring. Cucumbers It was said that cucumbers, like lentils and onions, representsomething disliked, because of the Verse: "So invoke your Lord for us to bring forth for us of what theearth grows,its herbs, its cucumbers, its Fum(wheat or garlic),its lentils and its onions." [Al-Baqarah 2:61] And it was said that they are indicative of pregnancy of thedreamer’s wife. And it seems that if they are seen before theirseason, they are indicative of trouble. Squashes Squashes are indicative of recovery for one who is sick and of healingfor one who is insane or possessed, based on the story of Yoonus (May Allah be please with him).If a healthy person eats them cooked, that indicates that he will attainknowledge as much as he ate of them or he will find some things that helost or he will collect something that was scattered. And they said: Foodthat is liked is dishes of meat and squash. Eggplant Before its season, eggplant is indicative of something disliked, andafter its season it is indicative of something disliked, and in season it isindicative of provision with some hardship. Onions Onions are indicative of evil things, like everything else that has abad smell.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
