The Prisoner

Scholars have said that a prisoner seeing himself in the Sultan's prison may indicate his release and a rise in his status, similar to what happened to Joseph (peace be upon him). However, if he has an absent father, he might not die until he sees him. It has also been said that a crown on men's heads represents their leader or father, and the vision of losing one's sight may be connected to this crown.
