The Unknown Market

Interpreters believe that seeing oneself in an unknown market and missing a deal or profit may indicate missing martyrdom in jihad, invalidating Hajj, hindrance in seeking knowledge, or missing congregational prayer. Theft in the market symbolizes betrayal in jihad, committing prohibited acts for a pilgrim, injustice and treachery for a scholar, or hypocrisy in prayer. As for a known market, if seen bustling, or with a fire, clear water, straw, or a pleasant breeze, it indicates thriving livelihoods and profits for its people.

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