If one sees himself extending his hands to the heavens from where he receives a water melon in the dream, it means 274 that he is seeking ajob in the government or a wealth which he shall shortly receive. A ripened water melon in a dream means a sickness, while a green and unripened melon means youth and a good health.

Eating melon before its season is indicative of trouble and sickness. In season, if it is eaten before it is ripe, that is indicative of physicalhealth. If it is eaten after it is ripe, he will encount er grief and will notknow where it comes from, and he will not know how to get out of it. Ibn Sireen said: If a person who is in prison dreams that he is eatingmelon, he will get out of prison, because Allah says: "So send one of you with this silver coin of yours."[al-Kahf 18:19] One of them said: The best food is melons. If a person dreams that he reached his hand to heaven and took somemelon from it, he will seek power and will attain it quickly. A man dreamt that some melons were thrown into his house.

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) usedto eat it and he liked it. There are Hadeeths which indicate that the onewho eats it will be rewarded. This is what the dream interpreter said, butthey could not find it. Perhaps those who interpreted it as referring to sickness associatedwith which it is digested and its yellow colour with the yellow colourof sickness. In my experience it is indicative of trouble. When the emirIbn Abi Ishaaq came to Jawbah, I dreamt that Yahya ibn Tashfeen cameto me in Qafsah and stopped to rest beneath the wall of the garden thatwas known to us as al-'Unnaab, and to his right and left there weremelons. I said to some of the people who were close to me: al-'Unnaab(jujube) is 'Ana'un aab (trouble coming back} and melon is trouble, butthey will not be able to enter Tunis at this time and it is inevitable thathe and his companion will have some trouble and hardship. And that iswhat happened. Indian melon is indicative of a man who is regarded by people asboring.
