Shaking Hands with an Enemy

Interpreters mention that if someone dreams of shaking hands with an enemy or embracing them, it may indicate the removal of enmity between them and the growth of affection and amity instead. This aligns with the noble prophetic saying that shaking hands increases affection among people.
