Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: The ‘Oud (a stringed instrument),cymbal, and other similar things are indicative of people who listen to others and have no religious commitment. A man dreamt that heprostrated to a cymbal. He said to him: You love a singer or a foreigner ora Bedouin with a handsome face who plays music nicely.
A king dreamt that he set up cymbals against a city. He said to him: You will besiege it and set up mangonels against it, because the strings of the instrument are like the ropes of the mangonel. A woman dreamt that there was an ‘Oudin her lap and she was playing it.
He said to her: You will have a child and you will talk to him in baby talk and he will be in your lap and will say something back to you.
Another person said: I dreamt that I became the sound of the ‘Oud. He said: Your presses will fall on you and you will scream because of that. And all of that happened.
