Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38403 — Reports on weeping out of fear

Al-Ala' bin Ziyad al-Adawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw in a dream that I was looking at an old, one-eyed woman with one large eye, and her other eye was about to come out. On her were chrysolite (zabarjad) and many kinds of wondrous ornaments. I asked: "Who are you?" She replied: "I am the world." I said: "I seek refuge in Allah from your evil." She said: "If you would like Allah to protect you from my evil, then hate the dirham."
