Anointing with oil is indicative of praise. Anointing with somethingimpure is indicative of criticism. If a person dreams that he anointssomeone else, that indicates that he is a hypocrite and bootlicker. If the medicine is good, then healing will come with the help of aman from the region where that medicine originates. For example, aman who was ill with a high temperature said: I dreamt that I ate a kindof Egyptian cucumber. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: You willbe healed at the hands of an Egyptian doctor or one who is of Egyptianorigin. And it turned out as he said.Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, in all situations.
