Applying Oil

Interpreters mention that if one dreams of having an oil flask and taking oil from it to anoint himself or others, it may indicate that he is a flatterer, a false swearer, or a slanderer, citing the Quranic verse: "They wish that you would compromise [with them], so they would compromise [with you]."

Per Ibn Sirin's Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam
