علم تعبير الرؤيا
هو: علم يتعرف منه المناسبة بين التبخيلات النفسانية والأمور الغيبية لينتقل من الأولى إلى الثانية وليستدل بذلك على الأحوال النفسانية في الخارج أو على الأحوال الخارجية في الآفاق ومنفعته: البشرى أو الإنذار بما يروه.
هذا ما ذكره الأرنيقي وأبو الخير وأورده في فروع العلم الطبيعي وذكر فيه أيضا ماهية الرؤيا وأقسامها وكذا فعل ابن صدر الدين لكني لست في صدد بيان ذلك فهو مبين في كتب هذا الفن.
وقال في: كشاف اصطلاحات الفنون: هو علم يتعرف منه الاستدلال من المتخيلات الجملية على ما شاهدته النفس حالة النوم من عالم الغيب فخيلته القوة المتخيلة مثالا يدل عليه في عالم الشهادة وقد جاء أن الرؤيا الصالحة جزء من ستة وأربعين جزء من النبوة وهذه النسبة تعرفها من مدة الرسالة ومدة الوحي قبلها مناما وربما طابقت الرؤيا مدلولها دون تأويل وربما اتصل الخيال بالحس كالاحتلام ويختلف مأخذ التأويل بحسب الأشخاص وأحوالهم ومنفعته البشرى بما يرد على الإنسان من خير. والإنذار بما يتوقعه من شر والاطلاع على الحوادث في العالم قبل وقوعها. انتهى. وأما الكتب المصنفة في التعبير فكثيرة جدا منها: الآثار الرابعة في أسرار الواقعة و: أرجوزة العبير و: أصول دانيال وتعبير ابن المقري وأبي سهل المسيحي وأرسطو وأفلاطون وإقليدس وبطليموس والجاحظ وجالينوس و: التعبير المنيف والتأويل الشريف لمحمد بن قطب الدين1 الرومي الأرنيقي المتوفى سنة خمس وثمانين وثمانمائة ذكر فيه أقوال المعبرين ثم عبر على اصطلاح أهل السلوك و: تعبير نامج لأبي طاهر إبراهيم بن يحيى الحنبلي المعبر المتوفى سنة ثلاث وتسعين وستمائة وأيضا ليحيى الفتاحي النيسابوري الشاعر فارسي منظوم و: حواب وخيال للشيخ بير محمد اللكهنوي فارسي مختصر منثور.
قال في: مدينة العلوم: والذي تمهر في علم التعبير من السلف هو محمد بن سيرين ومن عجائب تعبيراته أنه رأى رجل يختم على أفواه الرجال والنساء وفروج هؤلاء فعبرها ابن سيرين: بأنك مؤذن أذنت في رمضان قبل طلوع الفجر وكان كذلك.
ويحكى أن رجلا سأله أنه رأى أنه يدخل الزيت في الزيتون فقال ابن سيرين: إن صدقت فالتي تحتك أمك فاضطرب الرجل فتفحص عنها فكانت أمه لأنها سبيت بعد أبيه فاشتراها ابنها. انتهى.
قال ابن خلدون - رحمه الله -: هذا العلم من العلوم الشرعية وهو حادث في الملة عندما صارت العلوم صنائع وكتب الناس فيها.
وأما الرؤيا والتعبير لها: فقد كان موجودا في السلف كما هو في الخلف وربما كان في الملوك والأمم من قبل إلا أنه لم يصل إلينا للاكتفاء فيه بكلام المعبرين من أهل الإسلام وإلا فالرؤيا موجودة في صنف البشر على الإطلاق ولا بد من تعبيرها فلقد كان يوسف الصديق - عليه السلام - يعبر الرؤيا كما وقع في القرآن المجيد وكذلك ثبت في الحديث الصحيح عن النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وعن أبي بكر الصديق - رضي الله عنه - والرؤيا مدرك من مدارك الغيب.
وقال - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: "الرؤيا الصالحة جزء من ستة وأربعين جزءا من النبوة" وقال: "لم يبق من المبشرات إلا الرؤيا الصالحة يراها الرجل الصالح أو ترى له" وأول ما بدئ به النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - من الوحي الرؤيا فكان لا يرى رؤيا إلا جاءت مثل فلق الصبح وكان النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - إذا انفتل من صلاة الغداة يقول لأصحابه: هل رأى أحد منكم الليلة رؤيا يسألهم عن ذلك ليستبشر بما وقع من ذلك مما فيه ظهور الدين وإعزازه.
وأما السبب في كون الرؤيا مدركا للغيب فهو: أن الروح القلبي وهو: البخار اللطيف المنبعث من تجويف القلب اللحمي ينتشر في الشريانات ومع الدم في سائر البدن وبه تكمل أفعال القوى الحيوانية وإحساسها فإذا أدركه الملال بكثرة التصرف في الإحساس بالحواس الخمس وتصرف القوى الظاهرة وغشى سطح البدن ما يغشاه من برد الليل انخنس الروح من سائر أقطار البدن إلى مركزه القلبي فيستجم بذلك لمعاودة فعله فتعطلت الحواس الظاهرة كلها وذلك هو معنى النوم.
ثم إن هذا الروح القلبي هو: مطية للروح العاقل من الإنسان والروح العاقل مدرك لجميع في ما عالم الأمر بذاته إذ حقيقته وذاته عين الإدراك وإنما يمنع من تعقله للمدارك الغيبية ما هو فيه من حجاب الاشتغال بالبدن وقواه وحواسه فلو قد خلا من هذا الحجاب وتجرد عنه لرجع إلى حقيقته وهو: عين الإدراك فيعقل كل مدرك فإذا تجرد عن بعضها خفت شواغله فلا بد من إدراك لمحة من عالمه بقدر ما تجرد له وهو في هذه الحالة قد خفت شواغل الحس الظاهر كلها وهي الشاغل الأعظم فاستعد لقبول ما هنالك من المدارك اللائقة من عالمه وإذا أدرك ما يدرك من عوالمه رجع إلى بدنه إذ هو ما دام في بدنه جسماني لا يمكنه التصرف إلا بالمدارك الجسمانية.
والمدارك الجسمانية للعلم إنما هي الدماغية والمتصرف منها هو الخيال فإنه ينتزع من الصور المحسوسة صورا خيالية ثم يدفعها إلى الحافظة تحفظها له إلى وقت الحاجة إليها عند النظر والاستدلال وكذلك تجرد النفس منها صورا أخرى نفسانية عقلية فيترقى التجريد من المحسوس إلى المعقول والخيال واسطة بينهما ولذلك إذا أدركت النفس من عالمها ما تدركه ألقته إلى الخيال فيتنزل المدرك من الروح العقلي إلى الحسي والخيال أيضا واسطة هذه حقيقة الرؤيا.
ومن هذا التقرير يظهر لك الفرق بين الرؤيا الصالحة وأضغاث الأحلام الكاذبة فإنها كلها صور في الخيال حالة النوم.
لكن إن كانت تلك الصور متنزلة من الروح العقلي المدرك فهو: رؤيا وإن كانت مأخوذة من الصور التي في الحافظة التي كان الخيال أودعها إياها منذ اليقظة فهي: أضغاث أحلام.
وأما معنى التعبير فاعلم أن الروح العقلي إذا أدرك مدركه وألقاه إلى الخيال فصوره فإنما يصوره في الصور المناسبة لذلك المعنى بعض الشيء كما يدرك معنى السلطان الأعظم فيصوره الخيال بصورة البحر أو يدرك العداوة فيصورها الخيال في صورة الحية فإذا استيقظ وهو لم يعلم من أمره إلا أنه رأى البحر أو الحية فينظر المعبر بقوة التشبيه بعد أن يتيقن أن البحر صورة محسوسة وأن المدرك وراءها وهو يهتدي بقرائن أخرى تعين له المدرك فيقول مثلا: هو السلطان لأن البحر خلق عظيم يناسب أن يشبه به السلطان وكذلك الحية يناسب أن تشبه بالعدو لعظم ضررها وكذا الأواني تشبه بالنساء لأنهن أوعية وأمثال ذلك ومن الرؤيا ما يكون صحيحا لا يفتقر إلى تعبير لجلائها ووضوحها أو لقرب الشبه فيها بين المدرك وشبهه.
ولهذا وقع في الصحيح: الرؤيا ثلاث رؤيا من الله ورؤيا من الملك ورؤيا من الشيطان فالرؤيا التي من الله هي الصريحة: التي لا تفتقر إلى تأويل والتي من الملك: هي الرؤيا الصادقة: التي تفتقر إلى التعبير والرؤيا التي من الشيطان: هي الأضغاث.
واعلم أيضا أن الخيال إذا ألقى أليه الروح مدركة فإنما يصوره في القوالب المعتادة للحس ما لم يكن الحس أدركه قط فلا يصور فيه فلا يمكن من ولد أعمى أن يصور له السلطان بالبحر ولا العدو بالحية ولا النساء بالأواني لأنه لم يدرك شيئا من هذه وإنما يصور له الخيال أمثال هذه في شبهها ومناسبها من جنس مداركه التي هي المسموعات والمشمومات وليتحفظ المعبر من مثل هذا فربما اختلط به التعبير وفسد قانونه.
ثم إن علم التعبير علم بقوانين كلية يبني عليها المعبر عبارة ما يقص عليه وتأويله كما يقولون: البحر يدل على السلطان وفي موضع آخر يقولون: البحر يدل على الغيظ وفي موضع آخر يقولون: البحر يدل على الهم والأمر الفادح.
ومثل ما يقولون: الحية تدل على العدو وفي موضع آخر يقولون: هي كاتم سر وفي موضع آخر يقولون: تدل على الحياة وأمثال ذلك فيحفظ المعبر هذه القوانين الكلية ويعبر في كل موضع بما تقتضيه القرائن التي تعين من هذه القوانين ما هو أليف بالرؤيا.
وتلك القرائن منها: في اليقظة ومنها: في النوم ومنها: ما ينقدح في نفس المعبر بالخاصية التي خلقت فيه وكل ميسر لما خلق.
ولم يزل هذا العلم متناقلا بين السلف وكان محمد بن سيرين فيه من أشهر العلماء وكتب عنه في ذلك القوانين وتناقلها الناس لهذا العهد وألف الكرماني فيه من بعده ثم ألف المتكلمون المتأخرون وأكثروا والمتداول بين أهل المغرب لهذا العهد كتب ابن أبي طالب القيرواني من علماء القيروان مثل: الممتع وغيره وكتاب: الإشارة للسالمي وهو: علم مضيء بنور النبوة للمناسبة بينهما كما وقع في الصحيح والله علام الغيوب. انتهى.
