Some true stories relating to this subject are mentioned hereunder:
The First Story: It is reported that once, while Imaam Muhammad Bin Sireen (RA) was having his lunch, a lady came to him and informed him that she had seen a dream. When he asked her to relate it she said: “Not until you have finished your meal”.
After having had his meal, she said: “I saw the moon entering the planet Taurus and a voice from behind me said to me: Go fo Muhammad Bin Sireen and relate to him your dream!. Hearing this, the Imaam hit his one hand upon the other and said:
“Repeat! What did you see?” The lady repeated her dream. Upon this, the Imaam’s face turned pale and he got up holding his stomach. His sister came to him asking: “What’s the matter with you? Why has your face turned pale?” He said: “Why should it not when this lady has brought to me the news of my death after seven days?” And truly, the Imaam (RA) passed away on the seventh day after this dream. May Allah have mercy upon him.
The Second Story: A man once came to Hazrat Imaam Ja’far (RA) and said: “I saw myself as if I were embracing the moon”.
The Imaam asked: “Are you a bachelor?” He answered in the affirmative. The Imaam said: “You shall marry the most beautiful lady of her time”. Thereafter, the person was not seen for a very long time. Then suddenly he appeared one day and said to the Imaam: “My master! | have married the most beautiful lady of Madeenah. But last night I saw a dream as if I were carrying the moon”.
The [maam interpreted this dream saying: “She shall bear you the most beautiful boy of his time”. He said: “O master! at this very moment she is expecting”. The reporter of this incident says that matters turned out to be exactly as the Imaam had interpreted. May Allah have mercy on the Imaam.
The Third Story: It is related that while the mother of Imaam Shafi’ (RA) was expecting him (ie Imaam Shafi’), she saw in her dream as if the planet, Jupiter, left her body and descended on Egypt. Then it started running speedily and its embers spread far and wide and in all the towns and cities of Egypt. The interpretation of this dream was given that a son will be born to her whose knowledge of Deen will be very vast and the people of every town and city of Egypt will benefit from his knowledge and follow his madh-hab.
