Dream interpretation of hazrat ibn sirin, may allah's mercy be upon him, said that if one sees himself burning indian wood (costus) beneath himself and it produces smoke, it is a sign that people will praise and commend him, and his name will become renowned for goodness in the kingdom. however, if the smoke is foul and unpleasant, then the interpretation is contrary. hazrat jabir maghribi, may allah's mercy be upon him, said that if one sees himself eating costus, it is a sign of becoming sorrowful.
