Collar

(See Collarband)

With regard to a collar around the neck, Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deensaid: It is indicative of debts and troubles. If the hands or feet are boundin fetters or chains, that is indicative of dismissal of those who are incharge, delay for travellers, lengthy imprisonment for those in prison,lengthy sickness for the one who is sick, marriage for one who is single,cessation of worship for the worshipper, repentance of the evildoers andputting a stop to the wrongdoers. Chains on the hands are indicativeof rich people becoming poor and it is indicative of their stinginess,which is bad. Someone else said that if the dreamer sees his hands tiedto his neck, he will acquire some wealth but will not pay Zakaah on it,because Allah says: "And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck."[Al-Isra' 17:29] And chains are indicative of major sin, because Allah says: "Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains,iron collars, and a blazing Fire." [Al-Insaan 76:4] And it was said that chains on the neck are indicative of a woman ofbad character whom he will marry. Dispute, Hatred, Transgression, and ThreatsA dispute is indicative of reconciliation, so whoever dreams that heis engaging in a dispute with a man will reconcile with him. Hatred is not a good sign, but love is a blessing from Allah andhatred is its opposite; the opposite of blessing is hardship. Transgression indicates bad consequences for the transgressor andthe one who is transgressed against will prevail. Allah says: "O mankind! Your rebellion (disobedience to Allah) is onlyagainst your ownselves." [Yoonus 10:23] And, " That is so. And whoever has retaliated with the like of thatwhich he was made to suffer, and then has again been wronged,Allah will surely help him. " [Al - Hajj 22:60] A threat signifies security for the one who was threatened (in thedream) and he will prevail over the one who threatened him.
