Palm tree dream meaning in Islam

What the classical Islamic books of dream interpretation say about this symbol, with the book and page.

What al-Nabulsi wrote

Did you see palm trees in your dream? Al-Nabulsi wrote in Ta'tir al-Anam that palm trees may point to a learned man or a child, a man of good lineage who benefits people. It is said palm trees point to long life and children. Interpretation differs with the dreamer's state, and Allah knows best.

From the book

  • «هو في المنام رجل عالم أو ولد»“In a dream it is a learned man or a child”
  • «ويعبر النخل برجل من العرب حسيب رفيع نفاع للناس»“Palm trees are interpreted as an Arab man of good lineage, high and of benefit to people”
  • «وقيل النخل يدل على طول العمر والأولاد»“It is said: palm trees point to long life and children”
  • «أن نواة صارت نخلة فإن صبيا يصير عالما أو رجلا وضيعا يصير رفيعا»“That a date stone became a palm tree: a boy becomes a scholar, or a lowly man becomes high”
