نص الحلم:

I dreamed that a thief entered my house and stole my dirty clothes. When I chased him to retrieve them, he turned around, gave me a new white robe with the scent of oud, and disappeared.

التفسير:

My eye, this theft is one of the greatest glad tidings! The thief stealing the harm (the dirt) represents divine care that removes worries and replaces them with a new white robe and oud (protection, honor, and a good reputation). Interpretations from major scholars of the Sunni tradition: - Ibn Sirin: Theft of worn-out or dirty clothes is the removal of debts, sins, and illnesses without effort from the dreamer. The new white robe and oud are God's compensation with protection, pure religion, wealth after poverty, and good praise. - Al-Nabulsi: The thief who takes the harm is immediate relief and a divine intervention to remove distress. The white perfumed clothes with oud symbolize joys, complete health, a respected status, and a good reputation the dreamer will attain in his community. - Ibn Shahin: Whoever has something he dislikes stolen from him and is given what he likes of fragrance and whiteness, 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, prosperity, and purity. Interpretations for different social statuses: - Single girl: The thief represents her liberation from harmful relationships or rumors (dirty clothes). The white robe and oud herald God's protection, her blessed marriage to a righteous man who makes her heart happy, and a good reputation that precedes her. - Married woman: The vision reflects the end of family disputes and financial crises that burdened her home (the dirty clothes). The white robe and oud are the return of affection, blessings, and material prosperity to her family in peace, complete stability, and the expulsion of envy. - Divorced or widowed woman: The theft of the dirty clothes is the folding of the sorrows, constraints, and people's tongues of the past. The new white robe represents the recovery of her dignity and psychological peace, and the beginning of a bright, independent, and respected life. - Single man or young man: The vision represents his forced but beneficial departure from a bad work environment or bad companions. The white robe heralds his guidance, professional success, and his success in obtaining a lawful job that comforts and elevates him in status among people. - Married man: The dirty clothes are debts, burdens, and illness. Their theft is a decisive glad tiding of the complete settlement of his debts and the healing of his body. The white perfumed robe is his peace of mind, the stability of his family, and a profitable trade yielding goodness and a good reputation for him.
