Salt 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 salt in your dream? Al-Nabulsi wrote in Ta'tir al-Anam that salt may point to wealth without toil, that seen between people in a quarrel it may mean they reconcile, and that white salt may point to restraint in worldly things, goodness and blessing. He gives salt other readings too. Interpretation differs with the dreamer's state, and Allah knows best.

From the book

  • «في المنام مال بلا تعب»“In a dream it is wealth without toil”
  • «وإذا رأيته بين المتخاصمين فإنهم يصطلحون»“If you see it between people who are quarrelling, they reconcile”
  • «والملح الأبيض زهد في الدنيا وخير ونعمة»“White salt is restraint in worldly things, goodness and blessing”

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, ʿAbd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi (d. 1143 AH), p. 338. Dar al-Fikr, Beirut (al-Shamela text, book 1217). Translated from the Arabic by Fil Manam.
