Praying to Something Other than Allah

A man said: I dreamt that I was praying to the sun and asking it forsomething. Shaykh Shihaab - u d - Deen said: You will follow the beliefsof the sun worshippers. He said to another man: You will seek a needfrom a woman and later on it will be met. Another man said: I dreamt that I was praying to ships. He said: Youneed millstones and mounts. Another ma n said: I dreamt that I said to a tree: Forgive me. He said:You committed an immoral act in a place where there is a tree, so askAllah, may He be exalted, for forgiveness. Another man said: I dreamt that I was saying to an animal: Forgiveso - and - so. He said : You are trying to help someone else with one towhom you are close by asking him to forgive him. He said: If he seeks forgiveness from an idol or says to it forgive me,he will apologize to someone with whom apologies are to no avail. Andall of that signif ies troubles.
