In a dream it is soundness in religion. Whoever drinks a medicine to make his body sound will make his religion sound. Whoever takes a medicine in a dream, it is a sign of knowledge and good counsel and of his benefiting from knowledge; and if he does not take it, he turns away from the truth and stays with his error and his own selfish interest. If in the dream he takes a fragrant, delicious medicine, it indicates marriage for the unmarried, a child for the barren, and wealth for the poor. Medicine (dawa') may indicate the inkwell (dawat) from which one writes, just as the inkwell indicates medicine. The cordial (an exhilarating remedy) is joys and happiness. A licked electuary is affirming God's Oneness and bearing witness to the testimony of faith, or benefit coming from whoever the finger represents. A powdered medicine taken dry is greed and clinging to the world. A drunk medicine is provision. A swallowed medicine is the sinner being compelled to repent, the unbeliever to be guided, and the ignorant to learn. As for what women insert as a pessary for menstruation or other reasons, for an unmarried woman that is a husband and for a barren woman a child. Using suppositories is spying on news and finding out secrets.
(Whoever sees) that he drinks a laxative to cure his illness will set his religion right to the extent that the cure takes effect in him, according to the strength and seriousness of the medicine and the condition of the one who gives it to him to drink, in proportion to how well it works in him. If it does not work, the soundness of his religion will fade and will not be completed for him.
(Whoever sees) that he seeks health as the result of drinking it will set his worldly life right.
(Whoever sees) that he is treating his eye will set his religion right. Every yellow-colored drink in a dream is a sign of illness. Every medicine that is easy to drink or eat is a sign of the sick person's recovery, and for the healthy person a sign of avoiding what harms him. As for foul-tasting medicine that one can hardly swallow, it is a slight illness followed by recovery. It is also said that pleasant-tasting drinks, easy to drink and to eat, are good for the rich, but for the poor they are bad. The interpretation of what comes out of a person through medicine is not like the interpretation of what comes out without medicine.
