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

(Thunder) It may indicate the sultan's threat, his menacing and his intimidation; and from this it is said, "He thunders and lightens." And it may indicate good promises and generous commands, because it is the commands of the angel of the clouds to rise up and pour down upon whomever they were sent to.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 463–466

Thunderclaps also indicate the drums of the march and the expedition, and the clouds indicate armies, and the lightning indicates blades and the unfurled coloured banners and the standards, and the rain indicates spilled blood, and the thunderbolts indicate death.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 463–466

So whoever sees thunder in the sky, it is commands spreading out from the sultan. If he sees that as something beneficial with rain, and the people were in need of it, that indicates rains, or the good promises of the sultan; and it may indicate both aspects and give glad tidings of both matters.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 463–466

But if the dreamer is one whom rain harms, such as the traveller, the cloth-bleacher, the launderer, the builder, the harvester and those in their like position, then it is either rain that harms him and his work and ruins what he has done — and they have been warned of it before it falls so that they may take precaution by making preparation and get ready for the rain — or else it is the sultan's commands or an injury upon him therein that is harmful; and all the more so if the rain at that time is harmful, like summer rain.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 463–466

And if he sees thunder along with the lightning, the indication of the thunder in what it points to is confirmed. And if the sun is out at that time and there is no rain, then it is drums and banners going out from the sultan for a conquest that has come to him, or good news that has reached him, or for a governorship he has conferred on one of his officials, or for an expedition he is sending out or receiving from one of his commanders.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 463–466

And if along with that there is rain and darkness and thunderbolts, then it is either calamities from the sky such as hail, wind, locusts and young locusts; or plague and death; or strife or war, if the land is a land of war or the people are expecting that from an enemy.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 463–466
