Seeing wheat signifies honorable wealth earned with difficulty and hardship. Buying wheat signifies blessing, wealth, and abundance. Sowing wheat signifies an act that earns God's pleasure and may also signify striving in God's path. Sowing wheat and seeing barley grow signifies that one's outward state is better than the inward; wheat producing blood signifies usury. Sowing fresh wheat signifies goodness and sincerity in worship. Green ears signify low prices and abundance.
Ja'far al-Sadiq gives three readings for eating wheat: removal from office, an act against an official, or exile.
Abu Sa'id al-Wa'iz says buying wheat signifies many children and household members and wealth. Other conditions of stored or spoiled wheat are interpreted according to the condition of the grain.
