Drawing Water into the Large Jar

Scholars have said that drawing water and pouring it into a large jar (khabiya) may indicate acquiring wealth and entrusting it to a woman. The khabiya (or zir) may symbolize the house's guardian, its storage, or a pregnant wife. The text also mentions interpretations by Ibn Sirin regarding drinking water from a narrow-necked pitcher, drawing water with a jar from a well, and a water jar falling, connecting these to marriage, wealth, and life.

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