Let us stop here, as these examples are sufficient

With regard to the derivation of names and knowing signs, I have not seen anyone follow this method except my Shaykh, Shihaab - ud - Deen. We have seen above that a camel spoke to a man and said to him Labbayk (at your service). H e (the dream interpreter) said to him: You are Mutaalibi (i.e., a descendent of 'Abd Al - Muttalib), because another word for camel is Matiyah, and if you turn the ya' into alif, it becomes Mataa, and if you add Labbayk to it and omit the Kaf, you get Mutaal ibi. And he mentioned the woman whose head entered her private part and cut off a piece of her liver, and (the dream interpreter told her) that she had a son in Damascus, because the liver represents a child, and she got blood on her teeth and there was a cut in the liver. And if you add the word Damm (blood) to the word Shiqq (cut), you get Dimashq (Damascus). A man said to him: I saw myself (in a dream) wearing a fine cloak with two stripes, one of gold and the other of silk. He said to him: You are accom panying a man of high status who has two children from two wives, one of whom is white and is not manumitted (i.e., she is still a slave) and perhaps her name is Al - Tawq. That child will die, and that is her name because it is one of the names of gold and silver, and embroidery with gold is brown mixed with white, so I knew that she is white. And the death of the child I took from the word Dhahab [which means gold, but the dream interpreter took it to mean Dhahaba, which means to go]. And the other wife is a freed slave, and the child from her is called Maleeh, and her name is 'Aleemah or 'Aliyyah, or something with the letter 'Ayn. He said: And this child will live, and the fact that he is dark I took from the blackness of the silk, and the fact that she is free [Hurrah] is taken from the word Hareer [meaning silk]. With regard to working out the name, many stories happened to me. For example, I was in Jaami' Al - Zaytoon with the Qaadi and the Faqeeh Ibn Sudan and Abu Muhammad 'Abd - un - Noor. A villager said t o him: I dreamt that I was riding a female donkey, then a male donkey came to her. I got off and that male donkey mounted her. When he was done, I got back on and continued on my way. The villager fell silent, and I said to 'Abd - un - Noor: Do you have a wife called 'Aaliyah? He said: Yes. I said: Does she have a relative called Ahmad? He said: Her brother. I said: This is provision that your wife will get from her brother Ahmad. The villager raised his head and said: I bear witness that there is no scholar on earth except you. Her father is sick and may die, then they will divide his property. Then he said to me: How did you reach this conclusion? I said: The female donkey is a woman, and her name has five letters in which there is no dot [in Arabic], and ther e is no woman's name that is like that except the name 'Aaliyah. The word for male donkey, Himaar, has four letters [in Arabic], of which the ha' the meem and the alif are letters from the name Ahmad, and the fourth is the dal. If you alter the ra' slightl y, it becomes dal. I said: Intercourse with the female is kind treatment towards her. Another example is when the Faqeeh Ibn Sudan said: A man dreamt that a man gave him some grapes. I said: He will marry a woman whose name is 'Aa'ishah, because the word 'Anaabah (grapes) has some of the letters of the word 'Aa'ishah, the 'Ayn, Alif and Ha', and the doubled noon counts as two letters. He said: You are right. With regard to names, it is sufficient for one or two letters to be the same. A man said: I dreamt that I was wearing a cloak which was olive green in colour, and on the front it had red silk. I said: You are going to marry a dark, fat woman with reddish eyes whose name is Faatimah. After a while, I met him and he said: I have married a woman who meets that description, and he asked me how I reached that conclusion. I said to him: As for the colour, it is the colour of the cloak. The reddishness of the eyes is from the red silk on the front, and the idea of fatness is because the cloak covers other garments and is bigger than them. As for the name, it is from the letters of the word Ghifaarah (cloak), which has five letters, the first of which has a dot, so I knew that her name is Faatimah. As for the clues that may be derived from the kind of clothing that a person is wearing or what women usually wear: The first example is if a man says: I dreamt that I was wearing a Jubbah, I ask him what it is made of, how it looks and whether it is suitable for the dreamer or not. If he says for example that it is from Jarbah (a place in Tunisia) and it has a cut at the top or it is dirty and it is not befitting for the dreamer to wear it, then tell him: You will have some trouble caused by a man or people of Jarbah or someone who comes from there and has a mark on his face or on his head, or something sticking out, or a fault such as a speech defect or a defect in his tongue or teeth. If the cut or dirt is on the front of the Jubbah, then I say that his beliefs are wrong, or that on one of his breasts or on his chest there is a mark such as a mole, bruise, pimple, burn or the like. If it is on the sleeves, then say that the fault is in his hand, and if it is on the back, then say that it is on his middle or thigh or in his private parts. If it is on the shoulder, then say that it is on his shoulder. If the fault in the garment is in the back, then look for a mark on the body of the wearer or of his wife or children or friends. The second example is if a man says: I dreamt that I put on the garment back to front. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: You have a wife or a slave woman who is squinty-eyed and has a fault in her eye. He said: You are right. Someone else dreamt that and he said: You have intercourse with your wife in the rear and with males. He said: I will not do it again. Another person said to him: I dreamt that I was reciting, "That home of the Hereafter (i-e. Paradise),we shall assign to those who rebel not against te truth with pride and oppression in the land nor do mischief by committing crimes. And the good end is for the Muttaqoon (the pious)." [Al-Qasas 28:83] He said to him: You are a man who holds the position of governor and you have property and real estate, then you have spoken to a man who was reciting Qur'an and he was of yellowish color and tall, and his name is Sulaymaan. You are going to give up your position of governor and donate the best of your property as a Waqf. He said: You are right. The point here is that the reciter of Qur'an encourages actions like that and he must be pious. The pious man usually has fear of Allah, and the one who has fear usually has a yellowish face. The fact that he was tall is because the Qur'an will stay for a long time, until the Day of Resurrection.
