b- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جَهْمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى مَا تُعَبَّرُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا رَوَى أَنَّ رُؤْيَا الْمَلِكِ كَانَتْ أَضْغَاثَ أَحْلَامٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ امْرَأَةً رَأَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنَّ جِذْعَ بَيْتِهَا قَدِ انْكَسَرَ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَقْدَمُ زَوْجُكِ وَ يَأْتِي وَ هُوَ صَالِحٌ وَ قَدْ كَانَ زَوْجُهَا غَائِباً فَقَدِمَ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله)


528. b – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from AL-Hassan Bin Jahm who said: I heard Abu Al-Hassan (a.s) saying: ‘The dream is upon what interpretation you give it’. So I said to him (a.s) that, ‘Some of our companions are reporting that the dream of the king was a confused dream’. So Abu Al-Hassan (a.s) said: ‘A woman saw a dream during the era of the Rasool Allah ﷺ that a pillar of her house had broken. So she came to the Rasool Allah ﷺ and related the dream to him ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to her: ‘Your husband will come to you safely’; and her husband had gone away (in a caravan). So he came just as the Prophet ﷺ said that he would. Then he went away from her for another time. She saw in the dream as if a pillar of her house had broken. So she came to the Prophet ﷺ and related the dream to him ﷺ. So he ﷺ said to her: ‘Your husband will come to you safely’. So he came as he ﷺ had said he would. Then her husband went away for a third time. She saw in her dream that a pillar of her house had broken. She met a left-handed man (a fortune teller), so she related her dream to him. The man said to her, ‘The evil. Your husband is dead’. (As the news of her dead husband) reached the Prophet ﷺ, so he ﷺ said: ‘If only he had interpreted it for her in a good way’.
