Fire نار

In a dream, fire is good news and warning, war and torment, authority and imprisonment, loss and sins, and blessing. Whoever sees a fire with sparks and flames burning trees, with noise and clamor, it is civil strife in which a multitude of people will perish, in proportion to what it burned.

Whoever sees fire in his heart, that is an overpowering love, and the anguish of being abandoned by his beloved or by someone else.

Whoever sees two fires, each rushing toward the other and about to merge with it, they are two armies that have come out against each other. Whichever has more firewood is greater in number and stronger in might; whichever has the wind with it will prevail; and whichever is blacker and darker, its people are worse in belief and more corrupt in purpose. If they are equal in color and burn nothing, they are two factions of strife in a neighborhood. Whichever has water close to it is the weaker in fighting strength; and if the water overflows onto it and puts it out, those associated with the water will perish by the help of God the Exalted — and likewise if rain falls on it. That water may also be an ambush that comes out against those associated with the fire the water overflowed, so that their fire dies down and their troops perish. The higher the smoke of the fire, the greater the terror and torment. Whoever lights a fire on a dark night to guide people to the road will attain knowledge by which he guides people; and whoever lights it on the road when there is no darkness is in religious innovation and error. It is said that fire seen by day is a sign of war and strife, and seen by night is a sign of companionship and comfort.

Whoever sees a fire falling on a town, a neighborhood or a house, with flames and tongues of fire, devouring everything it comes upon, with a terrifying sound, it is war, or plague, or brain fever (pleurisy), or smallpox, or death occurring there.

If he does not see it consume anything, it is a fierce dispute carried on with the tongue without harm. If he sees that it rose from a place to the sky, the people of that place have waged war against God the Exalted with sins and have fabricated a monstrous slander.

Whoever sees that he kindled a fire so that he or someone else might warm himself by it will stir up a matter from which he benefits and by which he relieves his poverty.
