Ya‘qoob (May Allah be please with him)

His grief and separation from his loved ones is well-known. Whoever becomes Ya'qoob in his dream or acquires some of his characteristics will have some worries and be separated from his loved ones, then he will be reunited with them. He will have some distress because of his children and he may go blind then recover. A man dreamt that he became Ya'qoob and Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: You fled from an enemy, because Ya'qoob fled from his brother al-'Ays (Esau). Another man dreamt that and he said to him: There is fear for your vision. Another man dreamt that and he said to him: Your child was taken from you. Another man dreamt that and he said to him: You were promised marriage to a woman then that promise was not fulfilled for you, because Ya'qoob (May Allah be please with him) asked his maternal uncle for the hand of his younger daughter in return for tending his flocks for a certain length of time. When that time ended, his maternal uncle said to him: The younger will not get married before the older; so he worked an additional length of time and married both sisters. Another man dreamt that and he said to him: You are a fisherman (or hunter) because Ya'qoob used to fish (or hunt). And all of the above interpretations turned out to be correct.
