Hyena

Shooting an arrow at a female hyena signifies corresponding by letter with a woman.

Riding a male hyena signifies attaining authority and sovereignty. At times, seeing a male hyena signifies revealing secrets and becoming occupied with needless matters.

Ja'far al-Sadiq said that seeing a hyena is interpreted in three ways: an ugly wife of bad character, magic, and deceit and treachery. A person who drinks hyena milk in a dream is deceived and betrayed by such a woman.

Seeing a female hyena likewise signifies an ill-mannered old woman who practices magic. At times, seeing a male hyena signifies people whose sex is not known. Touching the skin, bones, or hair of a male hyena signifies wealth that will come through the hand of a person whose sex is not known.
