Picking Fruit From the Wrong Tree

With regard to picking fruit from the wrong tree, such as one whopicks dates from a grapevine or picks carrots from an eggplant or agrapevine, we should look at the fruit that is picked. If it is rotten, suchas if it is mouldy or wormy or dirty, that is indicative of pregnancyresulting from Zina. A woman said: I dreamt that in my house there was a palm treeon which there were fresh dates and black grapes, and I ate from thegrapes. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to her: You have a black slaveand you fell in love with him and got pregnant from him. She said: Thatwas not by my choice. A man said: I dreamt that I was eating pomegranates from apomegranate tree and other pomegranates that grew on the hair of a pig. He said: You have a wife with a correct marriage and another, Christianwoman without a marriage contract, and she has got pregnant from you.He said: Yes. If the fruit is good, then look and see. If it is more beneficial, thenit is indicative of a lot of benefits and provision, and the dreamer'sprofession may change to something better, such as one who dreamsthat he is taking dates or grapes from a fig tree, or if he takes somethingof lesser value or takes something that does not last, such as taking freshroses from the saffron plant or Jasmine from the safflower, in whichcase it signifies the opposite. If that refers to a child, he will be shortlived. If it refers to trouble, it will quickly pass. A man dreamt that he was eating honey in its wax from a date palm. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: You took a bee hive from a manof high status or from a woman. He said: Yes. Another man dreamt that he was drinking milk from a grapevine andit was good. He said to him: You took a cow or a sheep from a nobleman. He said: That is right.
