نص الحلم:

I dreamed that a thief sneaked into my house and stole my old, torn, dirty clothes, leaving me a box full of new white clothes.

التفسير:

My beloved, this is one of the most wondrous of glad tidings! The thief who steals the harm (the old clothes) represents divine care that removes worries and replaces them with new white clothes (protection and honor). Interpretations from major scholars of the Sunni tradition: - Ibn Sirin: The theft of worn-out or dirty clothes is the removal of debts, sins, and illnesses without effort from the dreamer. The box full of white is God's compensation with protection, pure religion, and wealth after poverty. - Al-Nabulsi: The thief who takes the filth is immediate relief. The new white clothes symbolize joys, complete health, and a respected status the dreamer will attain. - Ibn Shahin: Whoever has something he dislikes stolen from him and is given what he likes, his religion and worldly affairs will be rectified, his needs fulfilled, he will be safe from God's punishment and the plots of enemies, and his life will be renewed with goodness. Interpretations for different social statuses: - Single girl: The thief represents her liberation from harmful relationships or rumors. The new white clothes herald God's protection and her blessed marriage to a righteous man who makes her heart happy. - Married woman: The vision reflects the end of family disputes and crises (the torn clothes). The white clothes are the return of affection, blessings, and material prosperity to her family in peace. - Divorced or widowed woman: The theft of the old clothes is the folding of the sorrows and constraints of the past. The new clothes represent the recovery of her dignity and psychological peace, and the beginning of a bright and independent life, and compensation with a righteous husband. - Single man or young man: The vision represents his departure from a bad work environment or bad companions. The new clothes herald his guidance, professional success, and his success in obtaining a lawful job that comforts and elevates him. - Married man: The dirty clothes are debts and burdens. Their theft is a decisive glad tiding of the complete settlement of his debts. The comfortable clothes are his peace of mind, the stability of his family, and a profitable trade yielding gold for him.
