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

He in the dream is the one who sets bones and joins them together within the body. Seeing him in a dream indicates a king possessed of crafts, who joins together rights by means of rulings in uprightness, and who joins the scales by balancing them.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 338–339

The bone-setter: seeing him indicates self-magnification, tyrannical power, and boldness, because he sets the fracture, cuts away what is not sound, and mends what has been broken. And seeing him indicates worries and distresses.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 338–339

And perhaps he indicates the engineer, just as the engineer indicates him; and perhaps seeing him indicates the builder.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 338–339

And he indicates a man of giving, who mends the broken poor man.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 338–339

The bone-setter: if in the dream he treats snakes and sets their bones, he has aided the oppressors in their oppression.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 338–339

Seeing the bone-setter indicates everyone through whose hands good is carried out, in religion and in worldly matters, such as the judge, the sultan, the jurist, the great man, the cobbler, and the tailor.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 338–339

attributed to Ibn Sirin, Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam

The bone-setter is a king possessed of crafts who reconciles rights and rulers upon uprightness. He is in principle good, on account of his name, and he indicates everyone through whose hands good things flow in religion and in worldly matters, such as the sultan, the judge, the jurist, and one who gives much sadaqah — like the cobbler, the tailor, the mender, the builder, the farrier, and their like.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 318–322

So whoever sees that he stood before a bone-setter in his house, some affliction has befallen him or a fracture has struck him. So look at the state of the inquirer, the true nature of the ailment and its location, until you know from the bone-setter what shares in that in the interpretation.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 318–322

If he saw an ulcer that came out on his neck, and he came to a bone-setter who opened it for him with iron until all that was in it flowed out, then that is a testimony upon his neck, or a vow, or a debt, from which he is relieved at the hands of a ruler or a scholar.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 318–322

And whoever sees his joints coming apart or his bones separating, and the bone-setter joined them one to another until his body became sound again, this indicates that he will cut out a garment and hand it to a tailor to sew it.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 318–322

And if that was in the right hand specifically, and the bone-setter placed a splint upon it and bound it to his neck, then it is a man who will compel him with his kindness, so he frees his hands from crafts and labours and keeps them from accepting sadaqah.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 318–322

And if that was in both his legs or in one of them, then its interpretation is along those same lines — unless he owns a riding beast, for then I fear that a mishap will befall it and he will need the farrier for it.
