Definition of Khubz
Al-khubz (bread) is known.
Allah says, quoting Joseph's prison companion: 'I carry on my head bread (khubzan)' (Yûsuf: 36).
The baker's dream foretold his crucifixion and birds eating from his head.
And there entered the prison with him two young men. One of them said, "Indeed, I have seen myself [in a dream] pressing wine." The other said, "Indeed, I have seen myself carrying upon my head [some] bread, from which the birds were eating. Inform us of its interpretation; indeed, we see you to be of those who do good."
God and His angels shower their blessings on the Prophet. O believers, you should also send your blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy greeting.
