The ape  (or monkey as well) is a poor man deprived of his means of living. It belongs to the category of human beings who have been metamorphosed as a result of a legendary curse. It represents the wicked, spiteful, and cursing individual, the same as it symbolizes a Jew 
(according to the ancient Arabs) or a person who commits major sins.

• Fighting and overpowering an ape: Will be ill but recover, unless the ape had the upper hand.

• Receiving an ape as a present: Will be exposed before one’s enemy.

• The angels working in the dreamer’s craft or doing as he does: He will excel in his industry.

• Angels coming to destroy the dreamer’s home or a group of fewer than ten angels appearing in a country, a village, or a place: A prominent scholar or hermit will die in that place, the victim of an injustice will be killed, or a house will crumble over its dwellers.

• An evil person dreaming that an angel is ordaining him to read the Book of Allah: A stern warning in view of the Quranic verse: “And it will be said unto him, Read thy book. Thy soul sufficeth as reckoner against thee this day’ ” 
(“Al-Israe” or “Bani Ismail” [The Children of Israel], verse 14.)

• Seeing angels on horses in a place: A tyrant will be brought down.
