Dream interpretation of hazrat ibn sirin (may allah have mercy on him) has said that if one sees in a dream that he has taken a calf or someone has given it to him, it is evidence that a boy will be born to him, and if it is a calf, then it will be a girl, and if he sees that he has taken the calf home and petted it, it is evidence that he will be saddened. hazrat ibrahim kermani (may allah have mercy on him) has said that if he sees a calf coming and going in his house, it is evidence of sorrow and distress, and if he sees that he has caught a wild calf, it is evidence of a son, and if he sees that he is riding on the back of a calf, it is evidence that he will meet a persian king and gain status from him. hazrat jabir maghrebi (may allah have mercy on him) has said that if he sees that his calf has died, it is evidence that his son will die, and if he sees that his calf is lost, it is evidence that his sons will seek separation from him. if he sees that he has a calf and eats its meat, it is evidence that he will consume his son's inheritance. hazrat ismail ash'ath (may allah have mercy on him) has said that if he sees that the calf is white, it is evidence that his son will be pious, blessed, and wealthy, and if he sees a piebald calf, it is evidence of a moderate status, and if the calf is strong and fat, it is evidence that his son will be healthy and of good condition, and if it is weak and skinny, its interpretation is contrary.
