They signify wealth for the one who possesses them. The hen signifies a beautiful but foolish woman who has a lot of children. It may also signify plentiful livelihood time after time. The rooster represents a man with a beautiful voice, so it is indicative of a Muezzin or Khateeb, or it may signify a broker because he shouts time after time. It is also indicative of a slave or a mount. It signifies that a man’s pregnant wife will give birth to a boy, or the arrival of one who is absent, or good news concerning him. If the rooster pecks the dreamer or disturbs him with its voice, he will have trouble from the one it refers to. If he dreams that he turns into a rooster, he will die soon. The honking of geese signifies worries and the sound of wailing.
A man said: I dreamt that I swallowed a rooster and was happy.
Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: You have given up your house to a worshipper who remembers Allah a great deal and stays up at night.
He said: You are right.
Another man dreamt that he became a rooster and was standing on the horns of a bull; beneath him there was a net in which there was food and he was pecking at it and shouting. He said: You are a Muezzin on two minarets and you look at a woman in her house and peck at her with your words (i.e., speak to her). And he repented.
Another man dreamt that he became a rooster and that he was pecking at a pomegranate and eating some of it. I said: You are a Muezzin and you found a place like an inn or meeting place and you stole some of its property. He said: That was a while ago.
He said: And if the hen becomes a rooster, his wife or slave woman will stop giving him children, and if it is indicative of something useful, that will cease. If it is indicative of a foolish woman, this signifies that she will commit him to things and give glad tidings, because that is what the rooster does.If she becomes a cow, she will have a long life but be of little benefit.
