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

And it is said: whoever sees a thief who entered his house and took some of his money or his belongings and went off, then a person there will die.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 193

And whoever sees a thief who entered but carried nothing away, then a person in it will fall ill and be at the brink of death, then he will recover.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 193

And whoever sees thieves who waylaid him on the road and made off with money or belongings, much or little, then he will be afflicted in a person dear to him in proportion to what the thieves made off with. And if nothing of his was taken and he prevailed over the thieves, then it is interpreted as the weakness of a person with him, who then escapes. And if he did not prevail over them, then that guest is at the brink of death.
