Islamic Interpretation
A comb seen in a vision stands for a righteous man who endeavors to assist, serve, console, and bring joy to others. It also indicates a favorable time for entering a business partnership or taking a position in a major company, as the teeth of a comb are uniform. If its teeth are tipped with gold or silver, these represent one's employees: gold caps signify loyal workers, while silver caps denote deceitful and unfaithful ones. Combing one's hair signifies paying the obligatory alms, or it may mean giving charity. A comb can further denote an upright and equitable man, a joyous hour, a sage, a judge, a healer, or a religious admonisher whose counsel can be beneficial. It may also represent a barber or one's mother. Combing the hair of an unknown woman symbolizes a wind that will aid in pollinating trees. In a vision, a comb also signifies a sifter or a sieve. Its teeth may represent one's own teeth or the teeth of a saw. Some interpret combing hair as weaving a carpet. Combing one's hair or beard means removing troubles and sorrows. A comb can also represent a virtuous, just, and impartial man among his associates, or it may signify a long life, prosperity, and triumph over an adversary.
