Dream interpretation of hazrat ibn sirin, may allah have mercy on him, said that in a dream, dates represent wealth and desire. if someone sees that they have eaten dates and is a person of knowledge, it is an indication that their knowledge will increase. if they are a trader, it indicates that their wealth will increase. if they see that they have eaten dates and thrown away the seed, it indicates they will follow the commandments of shariah. some interpreters state that if they see they have eaten dates, it indicates they will receive inheritance. if they eat raw dates, it suggests they will consume their child's inheritance. if they see a date palm in their house bearing much fruit, it indicates that they will meet a wicked person from whom they will benefit. if the date palm dries up from the roots, it indicates separation. if the dry date palm in their house turns green, and they are ill, they will recover. if they see the root of the palm is cut, it indicates someone in their family will fall sick. hazrat ibrahim karmani, may allah have mercy on him, said if someone has fresh dates, it indicates they will obtain wealth through hardship. interpreters have stated that dates in dreams indicate benefit from a wealthy person. if one sees that there are many dates in their house, it indicates they will gain wealth and goods proportional to the number of dates. eating fresh or dry dates means they will find the sweetness of faith, and their affairs will be well-managed. if they see the root of the date palm cut, it indicates the work they have will not be accomplished. hazrat jabir maghribi, may allah have mercy on him, said seeing dates means one will marry a wealthy woman or gain wealth. if dates have many grapes, and one takes them, it indicates their black maid will give birth. if they transform dry dates into fresh ones, it suggests hearing good words from a hypocrite. some interpreters suggest hearing beneficial words from an ignorant person will help, and if the dreamer is sad, they will be relieved from their grief. the divine command states: {and shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop on you fresh ripe dates.} (maryam 19:25). hazrat jafar sadiq, may allah have mercy on him, said seeing dates in a dream indicates lawful wealth from a leader. dry dates symbolize a pure religion and lawful wealth, while fresh dates signify eyesight, lawful wealth, and righteous offspring. story: a man appeared before hazrat ibn sirin, may allah have mercy on him, and said, 'i saw in a dream that i found forty dates at the gate of the king's palace.' he interpreted it as 'tomorrow, you will receive forty lashes at the same place,' which happened. the next year, the same man came to hazrat ibn sirin and said, 'i found forty dates at the gate of the royal palace.' he replied, 'you will obtain forty thousand dirhams.' the man asked why the interpretation was different this year. ibn sirin explained that last year there were no dates on the tree. a week later, the man received forty thousand dirhams.
