Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32526 — Dreams interpreted by Umar

Ata bin al-Sa'ib says: Many people related to me that one of the judges of Syria came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Commander of the Believers! I have seen a dream that has alarmed me." He said: "What is the dream?" He said: "I saw the sun and the moon fighting each other, and the stars were with them, half and half." He said: "Which of them were you with?" He said: "With the moon, against the sun." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "And We have made the night and the day two signs; then We effaced the sign of the night and made the sign of the day illuminating." He said: "Go away. By Allah, you will never work for me!"
