A person’s father in a dream is what is meant here. The best things a man can see in his dream are his parents, his grandfathers or grandmothers, or one of his relatives. Whoever sees his father in his dream: if he is in need, his provision will come to him from where he does not expect, or someone will be generous to him; if someone of his is absent, that person will return to him; and if he is in pain, he will recover from it.
Whoever sees that his father had a building occupied, and he himself raised its roof, will complete the works his father had undertaken, whether in religion or in worldly matters, and will bring them to perfection.
