Hathurani tr.· p. 70

A person approached Imaam Muhammad bin Sireen • (RA) and revealed the following dream: "I saw a black, stout woman in my dream whom I asked to marry me. Please tell me what is the interpretation?" The Imaam asked: "Do you know this woman?" He replied: "Yes". The Imaam said: "Then why the delay in works of piety? Proceed straightaway and get married to her. For her black colour suggests that she is well to do. And her height suggests that she will not live long." Hearing this, the person approached the woman, proposed marriage to her and subsequently married her. Not many days passed before she suddenly died and he became her only heir to all her wealth. In this way the Imaam's interpretation became a reality. Incident 5: A person narrated the following dream to Imaam

Hathurani tr.· p. 130

A person asked Imaam Muhammad bin Sireen (RA): "What is your opinion regarding a person who had dreamed that he broke an egg and ate its white only and not its yolk?" The Imaam said: "Bring me the man who had seen the dream so that he personally relates to me his dream. I will answer him." The man said: "No, do answer me: I will convey your interpretation to him." The Imaam refused. He insisted several times and the Imaam refused the same number of times. Finally he said under oath: "My Lord, by Allah, it is I who had seen the dream.' " The Imaam said to the people around him: "Catch him and hand him over to the authorities, for he digs up graves and steals the kafn from the dead!" He pleaded: "My Lord, I sincerely repent to Allah before you! I promise never to commit this sin again all my life!" Thus, he was not handed over to the authorities, but was released. Incident 5: It is related that a person revealed his dream to the Imam saying that he had seen himself holding a water-bird, trying to slaughter it with a knife thrice. Each time the bird managed to struggle itself loose. The fourth time he succeeded. To this the Imaam said: "You have seen a good dream. This is a virgin woman whom you wished to bring under your control thrice but without success. You succeeded the fourth time." He said: "My Lord, you have spoken the truth. Tonight will be the fifth night." The Imaam smiled and after a little while said: "Come near me. One more thing remains to be told." The man drew closer and asked: "What remains to be told, my Lord?" He said: "The girl let loose wind aloud as well." He said: "Yes, you have spoken the truth." He felt ashamed and departed. Allah knows best. .13 Dreaming of Professionals, Manufacturers, Tradesmen, Entertainers Etc.
