If he sees them happy, this dream indicates that his status beforeAllah is good, because the Hereafter is the realm of truth. If the dreamersees a deceased man looking happy, that indicates that he is happy withhis situation. If he sees them (the dead) looking unhappy or turning away, this dream indicates that his status before Allah is bad, and it is sufficient for one of you to be exhorted in his dream. If he sees a crownon the deceased or sees him sitting on the throne, wearing green robes, or he tells him that he did not die, that indicates that he is in a good state. If he dreams that he struck a dead person, his religious commitment willbecome strong; if the dead person struck him, that indicates that he istaking wealth that is owed to the deceased. If he sees a dead person heknows naked, that indicates that he departed this world devoid of good. One of them said that on the contrary, that indicates that he is at rest. If a known deceased person is brought back to life wearing newclothes, his offspring will have some good times and they will attainsome prominence and authority. But if he is brought back to life sad, that indicates that his offspring will commit immoral actions and become poor. If he sees his grandfather or grandmother come back to life, he willgain authority; the same applies if it is one of his parents, but the mothercoming back to life is stronger. If he sees his brother coming back to life, he will become stronger after being weak, because Allah says: "[Moses said,] 'And appoint for me a helper from my family,Haaroon (Aaron), my brother.'" [Ta-Ha 20:29, 30] If he dreams that his sister came back to life, one who is absent willreturn to him from his journey, because Allah says: "And she said to his [Moosa's (Moses)] sister: 'Follow him. 'So she (his sister) watched him from a far place secretly, whilethey perceived not." [Al-Qasas 28:11] If he dreams that his maternal uncle or maternal aunt came back to life, something will return to him that he had lost. If he dreams that heslept in the same bed with someone who is dead, he will live a long life.

If he dreams that the dead person called him from where he could not see him, and he answered and went out with him because he could not refuse, hewill die of the same disease as that person or he will die in the sameway, whether it was being crushed under a falling wall or drowning andthe like. If he dreams that he followed a dead person and entered an unknown house with him and did not come out of it, or he did not enterit, or he entered it and came out, he will almost die but will not die. If he dreams that he travelled with a dead person, he will be confused about some of his affairs. If he dreamt that a dead person gave him some worldly gains, he will attain something good from a source that he didnot expect. If he gives him a new shirt or a clean shirt, he will attain alivelihood like that of the deceased person when he was still alive, but ifit is dirty, he will commit immoral actions. If he gives him a Taylasaan (shawl), he will attain a position of high status like his. If he hands hima garment that is worn out, he will die when he is wearing it, because itis the garment of the dead. If he gives him a melon, he will be affectedby distress that he was not expecting. If the dead person exhorts him orteaches him something, he will be guided. If a man dreams that he gave the dead person something which canbe eaten or drunk, he will be harmed in his wealth or he will fall sickand then recover. They said that if the dead person eats food, that isindicative of high prices. If he gives the dead person his clothing andhe puts it on, and the dreamer no longer owns it, he will die.

Or ifhis paternal uncle or paternal aunt gives him something, then he willinherit something. What they said about giving him a melon is clear, because the melon is indicative of sickness and trouble. If he gives themelon to the deceased person, this trouble becomes non-existent. Asfor the gift of his paternal uncle or paternal aunt indicating that he willget an inheritance, I do not know the reason for that except the verse inwhich Allah says: "And when the relatives and the orphans and Al-Masaakeen (the poor) are present at the time of division, give them out of theproperty." [Al-Nisa' 4:8] If he dreams that a dead person greeted him, it is indicative of hisgood status before Allah.

If he dreams that he spoke to the dead person, he willlive a long life and he may reconcile with the man after conflict. If hedreams that he kissed a known dead person, he will get something froma source he did not imagine, and if he dreams that a known dead personkissed him, he will get something from that person's offspring. Buying food is indicative of high prices, and selling it or eating it isindicative of low prices. If he dreams that he exhumed a dead personfrom the grave, he will look for his life story in order to follow hisexample in religious matters or otherwise. And Allah knows best.

In a dream, death signifies religious failure, corruption and rising in status in the world. This interpretation applies if one is carried on a bier or on a litter and his funeral is accompanied with crying and lamentation except if he is buried in the dream. If one witnesses his own burial in the dream, then it means that his case is hopeless and that he will be seized by the world. One's followers or assisting entourage will be as many as those who walk in his funeral in the dream. However, he will conquer people and ride over their shoulders. If one dies in his dream but does not have the look of dead people and there is no crying over his death or a funeral in the dream, it means that one of his properties will be torn down, or that a room in his house will collapse, or that a wall will cave in, or it could mean that a pillar will breakdown. Such a dream also may signify weakness in one's religious standing or blindness of his heart. Despite that, he will live a long life. If one dies in a dream and finds himself looking like a dead person, and if his body is washed and wrapped in a shroud, it also means weakness in his religion. All the sorrow and crying one sees in this case, represents his rising in rank and promotion in the world. Death in a dream also signifies travels, or it could mean poverty. One's death and burial in his dream also means that he will die short of repentance. If one comes out ofhis grave after his burial in the dream, it means that he will repent for his sins before dying. Death in a dream also signifies marriage, for a deceased person is washed and perfumed, and a bridegroom also takes a bath and anoints himself with perfumes on his wedding day. If one dies and is carried over people's shoulders, though they do not bury him in the dream, it means that he will conquer his enemy and should he qualify for leadership, he will attain it. To come back to life after dying in a dream means that one will become rich and dispense with poverty, or it could mean that he will repent for his sins. This dream also means the safe home coming of a traveller. The death of an unknown woman in a dream means absence of rain or dearth, and if she comes back to life in the dream, it means rain.

What a deceased person says about himself in a dream is true, for he has reached the abode of truth and he can exercise no falsehood in that abode. If a deceased person tells something in a dream, and ifit does not take place, then it means that one is experiencing confused dreams. If one sees a deceased person well dressed in a white or a green garment, smiling and happy in a dream, it means that he is in that state one witnessed in his dream. Otherwise, if one sees him disheveled, dirty, frowning or crying in a dream, this also denotes his condition in the hereafter. If one sees a deceased person sick in a dream, it means that his condition is contingent upon the satisfaction of his debts and that he is awaiting the Divine justice to take its course.

If one's deceased father or mother come back to life in a dream, it means relieffrom distress and abolishing of his fears. This is particularly stronger when one's deceased mother is seen in the dream. Resurrecting a deceased person in a dream means giving guidance to an unbeliever or admonishing an innovator. This also could mean admonishing heedless people who will repent for their sins. If one sees a deceased person die again in a dream, it means that someone by the same name will shortly die.

If a person sees himself as asking a dead person about anything regarding the dead person's or another's condition then the answer of the dead person will be true to its word _ whether good or bad _ for the dead person dwells in the world of truthfulness (ie. aakhirah) as opposed to the world of falsehood (ie. dunya). Thus, he does not speak a lie in whatever report he gives.

Accepting something from the dead is regarded as good while giving him something is regarded as bad. If a person'sees a dead person giving him something of this world it means he will acquire livelihood from an unimaginable source. And if he sees himself giving a dead person clothes normally worn by living persons and he accepts such clothes and wears them it means he (the giver) has a short life span.
