Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39846 — Reports on the caliphate of Umar bin

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jariyah bin Qudamah al-Sa'di (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I performed Hajj in the year in which Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was wounded. He related that Sayyiduna Umar delivered a sermon and said (in it): "I have seen (in a dream) that a rooster pecked me two or three times." Then only a Friday or about that much time had passed when Sayyiduna Umar was attacked. The narrator said: (First) the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were given permission, then the people of Madinah were given permission, then the people of Sham were given permission, then the people of Iraq were given permission. We were the last people to come into the presence of Sayyiduna Umar. His belly was bound with a black cloak and blood was flowing. Whenever any people came into the presence of Sayyiduna Umar, they wept and praised him. We said to him: "Give us your counsel," and no one other than us asked him for counsel. So Sayyiduna Umar said: "Hold fast to the Book of Allah, for as long as you follow it you will never go astray. I counsel you concerning the Muhajirun, for the other people will increase and they will decrease. I counsel you concerning the Ansar, for they are a ravine of faith in which faith took refuge. I counsel you concerning the Bedouins, for they are your root and your substance. I counsel you concerning your dhimmis (protected non-Muslims), for they are under the protection of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and they are the livelihood of your families. Get up and leave me." Sayyiduna Umar said nothing more to us than this.
