Sword سيف

In a dream it is a child and authority. Its pommel and its blade are a child. Whoever sees that he girded on a sword will take on a great governorship. If he sees that he found the sword heavy and dragged it along the ground, he will be too weak for his governorship, though he will benefit from it. If he sees that the sword straps broke, he will be dismissed from his governorship; the straps are the beauty of his governorship.

(Whoever sees) that he handed his wife a blade, or she handed him a blade, it is a male child. If he sees that he handed her a sword in its sheath, he will have a daughter; and if she handed it to him, the man will have a baby boy by her. If he sees that he is girded with four swords — a sword of iron, a sword of brass, a sword of lead and a sword of wood — four sons will be born to him: the iron one a brave son, the brass one a son blessed with wealth, the lead one an effeminate son, and the wooden one a hypocritical son. If he drew his sword in the dream and it was rusty, then if his wife gives birth to a boy, he will be ugly. If it broke in its scabbard, it is the death of his son in his mother's womb. If he sees that he drew a sword from its scabbard and his wife was not pregnant, it is speech he has prepared for someone: if the sword is cutting, gleaming and clear, his speech has sweetness and is true; if it is rusty, it has no sweetness and is false; if the sword is heavy, he will say something he cannot bear; and if there is a break in it, his tongue will fail him in what he wants to say. If he sees a drawn sword in his hand while he is in a dispute, the right is on his side. If he sees it laid down and he took it up, he is seeking a right that he will find. If a sword was handed to him, it is a woman, because of the saying of Luqman (peace be upon him): "A woman is like a sword: do you not see how beautiful it looks and how ugly its effect?" Whoever sees that he is girded with two or three swords and they broke off or fell, he will divorce his wife three times (irrevocably).

(Whoever sees) that he drew a sword will seek testimony against people, and they will not stand by him in it. If he sees that he is striking right and left with a sword in a land of the Muslims, he will let loose his tongue in what is not permissible. A sword seen laid aside is a man of might.

(Whoever sees) that his sword's scabbard broke, it is the death of his wife.

(Whoever sees) that he girded on sword straps without a sword will be entrusted with a trust.

(Whoever sees) that the hilt of the sword broke, it is the death of his father or his paternal uncle; it is also said, the death of his maternal aunt or his mother.

(Whoever sees) that the blade of his sword broke, it is his servant or his follower. Playing with the sword, if it relates to governorship, is his skill; if it relates to speech, it is his eloquence; and if it relates to a child, it is his pride in him. If he sees swords carried on the wind, it is plague. It is also said the sword signifies the dreamer's anger and the severity of his affairs.

(Whoever sees) that he swallowed a sword will consume the wealth of his enemy.

(Whoever sees) that the sword swallowed him will be bitten by a snake. The sword signifies a woman: if the sheath broke and the sword was unharmed, it signifies the death of a pregnant woman and the safety of her child; if the sword broke and the sheath was unharmed, the woman will be safe and the child will perish; and if both broke, both will die. Everything that has a counterpart that goes into it signifies a man and his wife, like the sword and its sheath, the knife and its case, and the boot and its last.

(Whoever sees) that he struck someone with his sword will overpower him with his tongue. A notch in the sword is inability in speech.

(Whoever sees) that he put a sword in its sheath while unmarried will marry.

(Whoever sees) in his hand a sword of glass while he has a pregnant wife, she will bear a child who will not live.

(Whoever sees) in his hand a sword longer than his enemy's sword will overcome. Whoever's sword is too blunt to cut, his word will not be accepted. If he sees someone draw his sword against him, if the person is known, he has prepared words for him. If he struck him and no blood came out of him, what the striker says is true. If he struck him and it did not cut, the one struck will win; if it cut, the striker will win over the one struck. If he struck him and it did not cut but blood came out of him, he will overpower the one struck with his tongue in lies and falsehood.

(Whoever sees) a huge sword that does not resemble the swords of this world, it is the sword of turmoil. If it is sheathed in the air, or rises to the sky, or is thrown into the sea, the turmoil will die down.

(Whoever sees) in his hand a sword that he has unsheathed without intending to fight anyone with it will gain authority, or a child, or a brother. If he intends to fight with it, he is preparing words with which to confront someone. If he struck someone with it, he will let loose his tongue against him in proportion to the blow. If he sees that he struck someone and with his blow cut off a hand, a thigh, a leg or a limb, it is speech by which he will cut off the one struck from a child, a brother or someone else to whom that limb is related in interpretation. If he cut through a person's neck with it and the head came off, the one acted upon will obtain good or great relief from the one acting.

(Whoever sees) that someone struck him with the sword and cut off his limbs, the one struck will go on a journey. If the limbs were scattered, the offspring of the one struck will multiply and spread across the lands.

(Whoever sees) that a man stabbed him with the sword without any quarrel, the stabber and the one stabbed will share in a marriage tie between families, or something similar. The sword signifies provision, and it may signify a kingdom or knowledge. If it is foreign (of unusual origin), then whatever it signifies — a wife or a child — will be of noble origin; otherwise it is money with doubt about its lawfulness, or a wife or child of base origin. Further, the sword signifies a mad woman of whom one must beware when coming and going. The sword of al-naskh (meaning unclear in the source) signifies harshness and bearing what one cannot bear.
