al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 94

(And whoever sees) as though he is wrapped in a shroud as the dead are wrapped, swaddled and bound at his head and his feet, then it indicates his death — that is, his being bound in the manner of the dead; otherwise it is an indication of the corruption of some affair. And the less the shroud is, the closer he is to repentance; and if it is more, then he is further from it.
