Symbol: Crying over the Dead

Source: Tafsir al-Ahlam al-Kabir (Ibn Sirin)

Crying over a dead person, if without screaming or wailing, is relief and removal of worry. If it is with screaming, it is a calamity. Whoever sees a dead person crying is in torment.

Source: Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam (Al-Nabulsi)

Crying over the dead indicates longing for them. It may also indicate the dreamer's regret for his shortcomings towards them.

Source: Al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat (Ibn Shahin)

Whoever sees himself crying over a known dead person will be afflicted with worry and sadness.
