Kinds and conditions of Abraham

Abraham (Prophet Ibrahim)

Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam

Seeing him in a dream indicates goodness, blessing, worship, old age, sustenance, self-sacrifice, concern for noble buildings, righteous offspring, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, knowledge, guidance, and forsaking family and relatives in obedience to Allah the Exalted.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 8

And seeing him, peace be upon him, indicates the compassionate father, because he is the father of Islam and the one who named us Muslims.

children around Abraham

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Fath al-Bari, commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Dream Interpretation

(As for the children who were around him, they are every infant who died in the state of natural disposition [fitrah]) — in the narration of al-Nadr ibn Shumayl: "who was born in the state of natural disposition," and this is more consistent with his statement in the other narration: "and the children of the polytheists."

Fath al-Bari, commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Dream Interpretation, pp. 7432–7433

His statement: (and the children of the polytheists) — discussion of it has already been given in full at the end of [the Book of] Funerals, and its apparent meaning is that he (peace be upon him) attached them to the children of the Muslims with regard to the ruling of the Hereafter. And this does not conflict with his statement: "They are from their fathers," because that is the ruling of this world.

Fath al-Bari, commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Dream Interpretation, pp. 7432–7433

Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham)

Ibn Shahin al-Zahiri, al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat

And it is said: whoever sees Ibrahim, then he will perform the Hajj. And it is said: injustice from an oppressive ruler will reach him. And some of them said: he will oppose his parents.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 14

And it is said: whoever sees Ibrahim, then he will be granted the love of Allah the Exalted, and his worry and grief will depart, and he will attain good and ample worldly fortune.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 14

tall man in the meadow (Abraham)

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Fath al-Bari, commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Dream Interpretation

His statement: ("As for the tall man who is in the meadow, he is Abraham") — in the narration of Jarir: "and the old man at the base of the tree is Abraham." Abraham was singled out only because he is the father of the Muslims. Allah said: "the religion of your father Abraham," and Allah said: "Indeed, the closest of people to Abraham are those who followed him" — the verse.
