Dream:
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahym
As-Salaam Alaykum
My brother, who is also my brother in Naqshbandi Tariqat, saw us both in a dream. I had two silver firuz (turquoise) rings and he one. I gave one to him and someone said it was the ring of ‘Ali (as.). The stone on that one was more beautiful and darker then on others. He thought which was the right finger to wear it, so he realized that he had to put it on the ring finger; he then puts it together with the ring he already had, on the same finger. Please, would you interpret for us?
Shukran wa Salaam
Interpretation:
The first ring represents knowledge of Shari`ah and the second the knowledge of ma`rifah, gnosis. You gifting one to your brother means you are transmitting a knowledge to him which comes from the line of Sayyidina `Ali (r), through Sayyidina Ja`far as-Sadiq (r) and signifies your generosity.
