Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32736 — Reports on talk about rulers

Ata bin al-Sa'ib said: More than one man informed 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 asked: "What did you see?" He said: "I saw the sun and the moon fighting, with the stars under them formed into two parties." He said: "Which party were you with?" He said: "I was with the moon, which was attacking the sun." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: "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." [Al-Isra: 12] Then he said: "Go away. By Allah, you will never do any work for me again."
