Detailed book entry

else said: The upper teeth represent males and the lowerteeth represent females. He said: The upper eyeteeth signify the masterof the house and the lower eyeteeth signify the lady of the house. In my view, the molar may indicate an enemy, because the peopledescribe man as “big molar” meaning an enemy. I dreamt that my molar fell out, and an enemy of mine died. If aperson dreams that his teeth become good or strong, he will get marriedif he is single, otherwise he will rejoice over the person indicated. Wehave seen above that a man said to me: I dreamt that my teeth becameclear, and that signaled the end of his years, as he died soon after that. If teeth turn black, decay, fall out or break, or something else goeswrong with them, the dreamer will have trouble from the personindicated. If he pulls out a tooth and throws it on the ground, the personindicated will die. If he holds it in his hand, he will get provision fromthe person indicated. A woman dreamt that and I said that to her, andshe got some money from her father. The dream interpreters say: If a person dreams that his teeth fell out,he will get some money from his relatives. If they fall into his lap, hewill be blessed with a child, because Allah says: “So that you spoke to the people in the cradle,”[Al-Maa’idah 5:110] i.e., from his mother’s lap. If the teeth fall out onto the ground, that is indicative of death,because Allah says: “Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shallreturn you.” [Ta-Ha 20:55] If what falls onto the ground is picked up, the dreamer will have astillborn child. If the teeth of a sick person are destroyed, he will die. Their falling out may also be indicative of travel, because they fell fromthe place where they should be and moved to another place. If a persondreams that teeth grow on his heart, he will die. If he dreams that histeeth are made of gold, his dream is good if he is a man of knowledge;otherwise he will get sick or may be burned. If he dreams that they aremade of silver, he will incur some loss in his wealth, but if he dreamsthat they are made of glass or wood, this signifies wealth. Filing the teeth signifies that a fault will appear in the person indicated. If he takes out his teeth, he will sever ties of kinship or spend moneywhen he grows old. If his tongue throws them out, he will damage hisfamily’s affairs because of words that he utters. The molars represent armies that are cheating and are of no benefit atthe time of need. If we think of them as signifying trade goods, they willtake a long time to be sold and make money. Taking out one of them isindicative of trouble for the person indicated. A man dreamt that his teeth fell out and Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deensaid to him: People will leave you who used to serve you. A man dreamt that he went into a person’s mouth and took out theteeth in it. He said: You went into a man’s house and took his wealth. Another man dreamt that a molar broke and he said: A mill of yoursfell down. Another man dreamt that and he said: The stone of your presswill fall. Another man said: I dreamt that my teeth went rotten. He said: Youranimals will have sickness. And he said to another man: Your mountswill have a problem in their hooves. And it all turned out as he said. The falling out of teeth may indicate sickness because sicknessmakes it hard to eat. Ears The ears are indicative of two things with which a person adornshimself, as stated above with regard to eyebrows. They may also beindicative of those who bring news. We have seen above that listeningis indicative of a good man. Beard If the beard is so long as it reaches the ground, he will die, becauseAllah says: “Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shallreturn you”. [Ta-Ha 20:55] If it is so long that it touches his belly, he will acquire wealth andhigh status after hardship, as much as it covers of his stomach. Thereason for that is that the beard signifies wealth and status, so when ittouches the stomach we know that what it indicates will reach him. A man dreamt that his beard grew so long that it reached his naveland he was looking at it. Ibn Sireen said: This dream shows that youlook into your neighbours’ houses. If that beard is black or very black, that is indicative of becomingrich. If it is tinged with green, he will acquire wealth and great authoritybut there is the fear that he may become a tyrant, because the beard ofPharaoh was like that. If it is yellow, that is indicative of poverty and sickness. If it is red, that is indicative of piety. If he dreams that he grabs hisbeard and hair comes out in his hand, then if he throws it away hiswealth will be lost and will not return, but if he does not throw it away,his wealth will come back to him. Plucking it out for a rich man signifies extravagance with his wealthand for a poor man it signifies worry and hardship. Shaving the beard,for one who does not like that, is indicative of the loss of his wealthand status. For one who likes that, such as the Qalandariyyah and thosewho adorn themselves in that way, it is a sign of relief from trouble. Ifa woman has a beard, that is indicative of trouble. If a man who adornshimself for women has a long beard, this is also indicative of trouble. One of them said: If it grows on a woman’s face, that indicates thatshe will never gave birth and may get sick. Someone else said: Rather it indicates that her husband has a greatdeal of wealth and that she and her child will be honoured. For a childwho has not reached puberty, it is not a good sign. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: If women and young men dreamthat they have fine beards and people did not notice that, they will getmarried if they are single. For a pregnant woman it signifies a boy and for a woman who is notpregnant it indicates that she will get pregnant. For one whose lovedone is absent it indicates that he will return. For the poor man it signifiesclothing or crops or friends to be proud of, because the beard representsbeauty and dignity. For the one who dreams that he showed it to people in gatheringswho disapproved of it, it signifies trouble and something to be ashamedof. One of those who shave their beards said: I dreamt that my beardgrew long. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: Locusts will attack yourcrops or garden and there will be a lot of thorns and grass in it. Anotherman dreamt that and he said: There will be boils on your face or head. Another man dreamt that and he said: You are going to lose scissors ora razor that you shave with. Another man dreamt that and he said: Youwill travel to a land where you cannot shave it. Another man said: I dreamt that my children were old man with longbeards. He said: They will suffer a lengthy sickness then they will getsome relief. Another man said: I passed by some women with ugly beards. Hesaid: You passed by some immoral women. Another man said: I dreamt that my beard grew so long that it wastoo much and there were lice and nits in it. He said: Some evildoers willcome to your crops or gardens or house and you will suffer because ofthem. I dreamt that my son Muhammad, who is very young, had a beard inwhich there were white hairs, and I interpreted that as meaning that hewill live until you see him with a beard. Moustache A long moustache represents trouble from a wrongdoer and may beindicative of sickness, because it prevents one from eating. Shoulders Some of them said that the shoulder indicates a man’s adornment. The shoulder signifies a man’s friend or partner or employee. Hands The hands are indicative of feeling pride in two sons or two parents ortwo brothers, according to what we said above with regard to eyebrows. The right hand also signifies a man’s livelihood, wealth and generosity. For a governor, a long hand is indicative of victory, for the trader it isindicative of profit and for a regular man it is indicative of a craft. Theleft hand is a helper to the right hand. Reaching out the hands signifies generosity and clenching themsignifies miserliness. The evidence for that is the Verse in which Allahsays: “The Jews say: ‘Allah’s Hand is tied up (i.e. He does not giveand spend of His Bounty).’ Be their hands tied up and be theyaccursed for what they uttered. Nay, both His Hands are widelyoutstretched. He spends (of His Bounty) as He wills.”[Al-Maa’idah 5:64] If a person dreams that he is walking on his hands, he will rely onsome of his relatives with regard to some of his affairs. If they turn intomarble, he will live a long and happy life. If he dreams that he sees with his hands as he sees with his eyes, hewill touch a great deal those he cares for. If he dreams that his right hand spoke nice words to him, hislivelihood will improve, and if he dreams that his left hand spoke nicewords to him, his relatives will thank him. If both hands or one of themrebukes him, his dream is indicative of bad conduct or deeds. If he dreams that his right hand is made of gold, he will lose hispower and authority. If he dreams that his left hand is made of gold, hispartner will die or he will die because of leaving him. Cutting off of both hands is indicative of the death of the personindicated, or it may simply mean that his deeds are of no benefit. If theyare preserved, it may signify just conduct and refraining from asking. For a poor person, cutting off of the hands may indicate that he willbecome independent of means, because his hand has stopped asking. Upperarms These signify two sons or two brothers, so any increase or decreasein their length is to be interpreted as referring to the person whom theyindicate. They also signify a man who could be relied on. Forearms They also signify two sons. With regard to growth of hair on theforearms, I did not learn anything concerning that, but it may be saidthat it is indicative of their strength. Hair growing on the forearmssignifies religious commitment, and it may be said that its growing onthe upper arms means the same thing. Palm and Fingers These indicate the same as the hand. They also indicate the five dailyprayers: the thumb signifies Zuhr, the forefinger ‘Asr, the middle fingerMaghrib, the ring finger ‘Isha’ and the pinkie finger Fajr, because it isshort. If a person dreams that his fingers are cut off or some problemhappens to them, he will lose his relatives or livelihood, or his prayerswill become invalid; if he is a king, his grip on power or his armies orhis children or his slaves will be weakened. If a king dreams that he has extra fingers, this indicates that he isextra generous. If he sees one of his fingers in the place of another, hewill offer the prayers indicated at the time of another. It is narrated that al-Rasheed dreamt that he saw the Angel of Deathand asked him how long he had left of his life, and he spread out hishand and pointed with all five fingers. He woke up in a state of alarmand a dream interpreter said to him: All he was telling you was thatthere are five things that only Allah knows, and he recited the Verse: “Verily, Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour,He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. Noperson knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knowsin what land he will die. Verily, Allah is AllKnower, AllAware (ofthings).” [Luqmaan 31:34] Cracking the fingers is indicative of talk between prominent men. A man dreamt that each of his fingers became a minaret.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
