Imam Ibn Sirin
In a dream, a threshold represents one's gown, garment, one's adornment, makeup, money, or it may denote closing a subject, spreading it, or it could represent a beautiful woman who embodies all the attributes man desires, including beauty, good character, intelligence, wealth and fertility. Buying a new threshold or sitting on one in a dream means that either the husband or the wife may suffer a bodily injury. If one sees himself sitting under the threshold of his door in a dream, it represents an adversity or an illness. If one sees himself being carried over the threshold of his door in a dream, it represents his funeral. (Also see Doorstep; Door lintel; Doorplate)
Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi
The threshold signifies a woman. It was narrated that Ibraaheem (May Allah be please with him) said to the wife of Ismaa'eel (May Allah be please with him) : Tell your husband he should changethe threshold of his door. She told him that and he said to her: My fatherhas told me to divorce you. It was said that the threshold refers to the state. A woman said to IbnSireen: I dreamt that the linte l of my door fell onto the threshold, and Isaw the two door jambs fall, one outside the house and the other inside. He said: Do you have a husband and son who were absent? She said:Yes. He said: As for the falling of the lintel, your husband will comesoon, but the falling of the jamb outside the house indicates that yourson will marry a woman who is a stranger. And that is what happened.
