Sofas, chairs, seats and benches are indicative of glory and status for those who possess them or sit on them, because prominent people usually sit on these things. They are also indicative of marriage, wealth and benefits. They signify worry and trouble for the one for whom it is not befitting to sit on them. If he gets off his couch and then returns toit, he may regain what he has lost of possessions, authority, leadership of a woman, because Allah says:
“And We placed on his throne jasad (a devil, so he lost his kingdom for a while) and he did return (to Allah with obedience and in repentance, and to his throne and kingdom by the Grace of Allah).”
It may also be indicative of other things, because a man said: I dreamtthat I was sitting on a couch set up on the face of the water, and ShaykhShihaab-ud-Deen said: You will be dead and lie on a wooden bier.
