Hazrat Sufyan narrates from his father that he says: I heard Ibrahim Taimi saying that I was compelled to attend this gathering because I saw in a dream that I was distributing "Raihan" flowers among people. I mentioned this dream to Ibrahim Nakha'i, so he said: The appearance of Raihan is very beautiful, but its taste is bitter.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mujahid that he says the meaning of { وَعَلَّمْتَنِی مِنْ تَأْوِیلِ الأَحَادِیثِ } is the interpretation of dreams.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard some people describing a dream while they were praying. When he finished the prayer, he asked them about this dream, but they concealed it. He said: Beware, the interpretation of the dream of Yusuf (peace be upon him) became manifest after forty years.

It is narrated from Ayyub, may Allah have mercy on him, that a man asked Muhammad bin Sirin, "I saw in a dream that I was eating a sweet called 'khabees' during prayer." He replied, "Khabees is lawful, but eating during prayer is not lawful for you." He then asked him, "Do you kiss your wife while fasting?" He said, "Yes!" He replied, "Do not do so."

Hazrat Abu Uthman narrates from Hazrat Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a gap of forty years between the dream of Hazrat Yusuf (peace be upon him) and its interpretation.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Aun narrates from Ibrahim that when the pious predecessors saw something undesirable in a dream, they would supplicate: I seek refuge with the One in whose protection are Allah’s angels and His messengers, and from the evil of the dream that I have seen, and from anything in this world or the Hereafter that may harm me in a way I dislike.

It is narrated from Bukair bin Abi Sumait, may Allah have mercy on him, that he said: I heard Muhammad bin Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him, saying this when he was asked about a man who saw in a dream that he had a sword which he was drawing out of its sheath. He said: "It is a male child." The man said: "Then the sword broke." He said: "That child will die." The narrator says that Muhammad bin Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked about the interpretation of seeing a stone in a dream, so he said: "It is hard-heartedness." And he was asked about the interpretation of seeing wood in a dream, so he said: "It is hypocrisy."

32552 - And he was asked about wood in a dream, and he said: Hypocrisy.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about a man who saw a light in the middle of the night. He replied: If this were something good, then the companions of Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم would surely have seen it.
