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

As for chairs, they are interpreted in several ways, and the interpreters differ concerning this. As for the Chair of the Throne (kursi al-'arsh), the discussion of it has already been given in the first chapter, concerning knowledge.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 165

Likewise a portion of the discussion concerning the chair that the carpenter makes; and now we mention here a portion of it, so that it not be devoid of meaning. Some of them said that it is interpreted as knowledge, and some of them said it is interpreted as an ascetic, pious man, if it is of fine appearance and attributed to the congregational mosques and the schools. And if it is attributed to the king, then it is interpreted as a just king; and seeing it made of sandalwood is stronger and more emphatic. And the chair that is not attributed to any of the categories of crafts is interpreted as a woman, so whatever adornment or blemish he sees in it, that is its interpretation concerning her.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 165

Whoever sees that he has bought a chair, then he will buy a slave-girl.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 165

Abu Sa'id al-Wa'iz said: Whoever sees that he sat upon a chair, then it is interpreted to mean that if something of his had been lost, he will find it, because of His saying, exalted be He: "And We cast upon his chair a body, then he turned in repentance."

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 165

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

(As for the chair) for whoever sits upon it, it indicates success in the Hereafter if he is among its people; otherwise he attains authority and a noble elevation according to his rank and the like. And if he is unmarried, he marries a woman according to his rank, her beauty, her elevation, and her wealth.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 705–709

But there is no good in it for the sick person, nor for one who sits inside it, because of what is in its name of indications of the recurrence (kurūr) of evil — especially if he is one from whom some detested thing has departed, such as illness or imprisonment, for it will return again.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 705–709

As for the pregnant woman, her being upon it signals the chair of the midwife which she mounts at the time of delivery, on account of the recurrence of pain and aches.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 705–709

If upon her head there is a crown above it, she will give birth to a boy; and if a net without a head, or a sword's scabbard, or a pair without a spear, she will give birth to a girl.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 705–709

And it is said: whoever sees that he has obtained a chair or sat upon it, then he will obtain authority over a woman, and she will be among women according to the beauty of the chair and its form. Likewise whatever befalls the chair of something detested or beloved, that applies to the woman attributed to the chair.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 705–709

And the chair is a woman, or elevation from the ruler. If it is of wood, it is strength accompanied by hypocrisy; and if it is of iron, it is complete strength.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 705–709
