Pregnancy of a Man

Pregnancy of a man is indicative of intense grief, unlike pregnancyof a woman which indicates an increase and wealth. Shaykh Shihaab - ud - Deen said: It was said that pregnancy of a manis indicative of sickness. A man said: I dreamt that I was pregnant. Hesaid: There is the fear that you will get dropsy. And he became sick withthat. Giving birth and screaming in a place where that is not appropriateis indicative of trouble. A man said: I dreamt that I was in labour andscreaming. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: There is the fear that youmight get stomach ache. Another man dreamt that and he said: A thief will break into yourhouse and there will be screaming. If (in the dream) a daughter is born, he will be granted relief soon; ifthe child is male, he will be faced with trouble and he may get involvedin something serious that he does not usually do, then he will be savedfrom it. Then Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: Birth is indicative of thearrival of one who was away. Another man said to him: I dreamt that I gave birth to a bull. He said:You have an animal that was missing and it will come back to you. A woman said: I dreamt that I gave birth to a gazelle. He said: Ason who was absent will come back to you. And it all turned out as hesaid. Labor pains (Talq) maybe indicative of divorce (Talaaq).
