Reciting Surah al-Anfal in a dream signifies strength, knowledge, and piety. Ibn Abbas said that seeing oneself recite Surah al-Anfal or part of it, or hearing it recited over oneself, signifies attaining victory and being crowned with honor and elevation.
Ja'far al-Sadiq interpreted it as soundness in religion and the rising of the sun of happiness upon the dreamer. It has also been said that one who sees himself reciting Surah al-Anfal will attain the intercession of the Prophet on the Day of Resurrection.
