Dream interpretation of hazrat ibn sirin (may allah have mercy on him) said that if one sees that he is in a place as a pledge or has pledged his body in something, it is an indication that he fears his sins. and if he sees that he has pledged his children and family with someone, it is evidence that he will face oppression and injustice. and if he sees that he has pledged himself with someone, it is a sign that he will be oppressed, and possibly someone might act unjustly towards him. hazrat ibrahim karmani (may allah have mercy on him) stated that if one sees himself as a pledge, it is an indication of corruption in religion. the command of allah almighty is: { كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ } (al-muddathir 74:38) 'every soul is held in pledge for what it has earned.' and if one sees that an item from worldly goods is pledged with someone, it is a sign that he will discuss material things with someone and will suffer a loss.
