Tongue لسان

In a dream it is its owner's interpreter and the manager of his affairs. The tongue is the place of sin: if he moved it, he committed a sin. If he sees an increase in his tongue in length or width, or fluency of speech in argument, it is strength for him and victory in his dispute. If he sees his tongue long, not in a state of quarrel and dispute, he is foul-mouthed. A long tongue may be victory for its owner in his eloquence and good manners. If he sees that he has two tongues, he will be granted knowledge beyond his own knowledge, an argument beyond his own argument, and strength and victory over his enemies. If the tongue is tied and he cannot speak, it is being kept from work, and it is also poverty. If black hair grows on the tongue, it is imminent evil; if it is white, it is evil deferred. The tongue is perfection, beauty, argument, conduct and renown.

(Whoever sees) his tongue cut off while he is a sultan, that goes back to his interpreter, through death or dismissal. A man's tongue is in the position of his pen. If the king's tongue grows long, his lands, his kingdom and his word will increase; if it grows so long that it reaches the sky, he will be dismissed for an injustice he committed. The tongue is interpreted as a nursing infant, a lion in a cave, and a cunning horseman: whoever lets his lion out of the cave, that is his tongue. If he sees that his tongue is lost, his nursing infant will die; likewise if he sees a horseman who has let his horse loose. If he sees that his tongue was cut off while he has a lawsuit, his argument will be refuted and he will be overpowered. Whoever cuts off the tip of his tongue and has a witness will doubt his testimony; if he is a merchant, he will lose in his trade; and if he is a seeker of knowledge, he will obtain nothing.

(Whoever sees) his tongue cut off is forbearing.

(Whoever sees) his wife's tongue cut off, she is chaste and modest. If a man sees that his wife cut off his tongue, she will be gentle with him. Whoever cuts off a poor man's tongue will give a foolish person something and stop his tongue. If a poor man sees that he cut off another poor man's tongue, he will overpower him.

(Whoever sees) his tongue stuck to his palate will deny a right or a jewel that was entrusted to him.

(Whoever sees) hair on his tongue, it may be poetry that he composes or recites.

(Whoever sees) that he is eating his tongue: if he is one of the common people, he will regret words he speaks; if he is one of the governors, he will consume people's wealth with his tongue. It is also said that whoever eats his tongue is often silent, restrains his anger and is tactful. Cutting off a governor's tongue is his dismissal.

(Whoever sees) that he has a cave with a lion in it, the cave is his mouth and the lion is his tongue: if he lets it loose on people to devour them, he harms people with his tongue. Cutting off a poet's tongue is money that will reach him from the one who cut it.

(Whoever sees) his tongue black will become master (sawwada) over his people through his tongue; if he is one of the base, he is a liar or a poet. Whoever is afraid and sees his tongue will be overpowered and humiliated, and his affair will not be hidden from the one who informs against him. Whoever bites his tongue is suppressing his anger; it may signify his gluttony in eating.

(Whoever sees) his tongue split in two halves will be a liar.

(Whoever sees) that he has many tongues and is not a man of nobility will be blessed with children. If the tongues are of different colors and not consistent in their states, it signifies inconsistency in his speech and his argument on behalf of the one he testifies for; it may signify his making mistakes in speech, or that he is one who mispronounces in his recitation.

(Whoever sees) people licking or sucking his tongue, they are seeking some of his knowledge. The tongue, for a king, may signify his deputy, chamberlain, minister or scribe. It may signify hoarded wealth, standing and the knowledge that issues from him. It signifies a servant devoted to the interests of the family, or a hired worker, a house, a riding animal, a wicked enemy, a tree that bears fruit, a bad wife who does not conceive, the speech that issues from him, provision, a street sweeper, a tracker, or one who brings out hidden things. It may signify a policeman or a servant of prisoners. An animal's tongue may signify its voice or its life, because the tongue is for it like the hand with which it takes things. If the king sees his tongue cut off, it may signify the dismissal of his deputy, chamberlain, minister or scribe; he may lose a great deal of money; the enemy may seize some of his lands, or his mark, name or standing may be cut off from them. If a scholar sees that his tongue has been cut off, he will be defeated in his argument and debate, or his servant, his student or his child may die. If a craftsman sees his tongue cut off, he will lose his hired worker or his partner, or he may sell or rent out his house, or his riding animal may die. Loss of the tongue may signify the gloating of enemies among his family or neighbors, the death of someone he loves, or the cutting off of his kindness to them; his tree may stop bearing, or he may cut down a tree that does not bear fruit. Loss and cutting of the tongue may signify divorcing a wife, his speech being cut off from the place he is in, or his provision ceasing. If he sees his tongue cut off, it signifies the death of a grass cutter, a street sweeper, a tracker, a man who brings out hidden things, or an evil man. If he sees that he has (many) tongues, it signifies an increase in wealth, family or knowledge, and he may speak many languages. If he sees that he has another tongue alongside his tongue, it signifies talebearing and sowing words among people, because it is said, "So-and-so has two tongues and two faces." If the extra tongue does not prevent speech or benefit, it may signify truthfulness and affection, based on the words of God Most High:

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

“And grant me a mention [i.e., reputation] of honor among later generations.”

Quran 26:84 · Saheeh International

The tongue may signify what a person protects himself with, such as a sword or equipment. Its cutting, for people of spiritual knowledge, may signify keeping silent and giving thanks to God Most High.

(Whoever sees) that hair has grown on his tongue: if his craft is speech, its order will be spoiled for him; if he is not one of the masters of speech, his livelihood will become difficult. The tongue may signify a captive, or a snake in its hole.

(Whoever sees) that he is looking at his tongue guards his tongue.
