The whip is indicative of authority; if it breaks in the dreamer’shand, it is a sign that he will lose his authority. Striking a child with it indicates that the person using the whip is using it for the sake Of allah.
If he strikes a man with a whip who is not tied up or whose hands are nottied, that is indicative of exhortation and advice. If he strikes the one he wants to hit, his advice will be accepted, otherwise it will not. If blood flow when he strikes him, it is indicative of injustice. If no blood flows,that is indicative of truth. If the whip is crooked or bent when hitting,that is indicative of crookedness in this situation. If a whip comes down from heaven to the dreamer or to his family, it is indicative of a calamity or punishment or an oppressive ruler, because Allah says:
“So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severetorment.
