One of them said: The knife that is used to sharpen pens is indicativeof a grown - up son who is praiseworthy. And it was said that whoever seesan iron knife in his hand and has a wife whom he divorced (revocabletalaaq) will take her back, because Allah says: “Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): ‘Be you stones or iron.’”[Al-Isra’ 17:50] Ink Ink is indicative of joy and honour. If it gets onto the clothes, that isindicative of leprosy, and the one who made it fall is talking about thedreamer’s honour and accusing him of some fault, but h is innocencewill be proven and the talk will backfire on the one who is talking, andhis garment may get soiled in real life. Ink may also be indicative ofembroidery or patterned garments, because the word hibr (ink) is alsothe plural of Hibrah, which means a striped garment. I dreamt that Isaw a large tank in my house that was filled with ink, and I interpretedthis dream in this manner and after that I bought my daughters somegarments made of patterned silk. VIII.
