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

As for the scorpion, it is interpreted in several ways: a weak enemy without religion, harmful with his tongue, stinging, one who reproaches much and who does not distinguish between enemy and friend.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 223

A rare anecdote: It is related that a king had with him a certain Sufi at a madrasa, and he used to keep him close, and the man held a rank with him, and the king had a sound belief in him. One of the nights he saw that he was in the madrasa to which that Sufi belonged, and that he had come upon a scorpion, and it stung him and he died from its sting. So he related his dream to a skilled interpreter, who said to him: If your dream is true, there will appear to you from that madrasa someone from whom you will suffer extreme pain. So he pondered to himself about the aforementioned Sufi. He said to him: This man is of the people of good; nothing harmful will issue from him — but as for another, be on your guard against him. And before long there befell the king a grave affair: he was accused of unbelief, and there came from the Commander of the Faithful one who would take charge of that according to the Sharia, and that king was summoned to that madrasa, and the first to set down his signature to that was the aforementioned Sufi. And so it was.
