The Dream of Imam Shafi’s Mother:
It is said that while Imam Shafi’s mother was pregnant with him, she had a dream. In the dream, she saw the planet Jupiter leave her body and travel down to Egypt. Once it reached Egypt, it moved quickly, and its light spread to all the towns and cities in Egypt. The interpretation of this dream, given by the famous dream interpreter Ibn Sirin, was that she would have a son whose knowledge of religion would be vast. This knowledge would benefit people in every town and city in Egypt, and they would follow his teachings.
