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

As for the two thighs, they signify a person's strength, his earnings, his livelihood, his people and his clan; so whatever is seen concerning them, whether adorning or disfiguring, is attributed to that.

(Al-Kirmani said): Whoever sees that his thigh has been cut off, then he will part from his family and die a stranger.

(As for the thigh) it is a man's clan.

If he sees that his thigh has been cut off and severed, then he will go abroad away from his people and his clan, so that his death will be in a foreign land — because when the thigh is cut off and severed, its owner cannot be set right again nor does it knit together; and for that reason he never returns to his people.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 174–177

Pain in the thigh indicates that its owner is behaving badly toward his kin.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 174–177
