Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Ma’dan bin Talhah Yamari that on one occasion, on the day of Jumu’ah, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said—or the narrator says that on one occasion, on the day of Jumu’ah, he delivered a sermon and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said: O people! I saw in a dream a red rooster that pecked me twice, and I interpret this to mean that the time of my death is near.

Hazrat Jariyah bin Qudamah Sa'di narrates that he said: The year in which Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was killed, I performed Hajj that year. He says that in his sermon, he (Hazrat Umar) said: I saw a rooster that pecked me two or three times.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Harith Khuzai that I heard Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saying in his sermon that last night I saw a rooster that pecked me, and I saw that people were keeping it away from me. After this, he did not remain for three days before he was martyred by Abu Lu’lu’, the slave of Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream. I saw that he was not looking at me. I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is this state of mine?" He said, "Are you not the one who kisses his wife while fasting?" I said, "By Him Who sent you with the truth, I will not kiss my wife while fasting after today."

Hazrat Ata bin Saib narrates that many people told me that one of the judges from among the judges of Syria came to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and said, O Commander of the Faithful! I have seen a dream which has made me anxious. He (Umar) asked, What is the dream? He said, I saw the sun and the moon fighting with each other, while half of the stars were with each of them. He (Umar) asked, Whose side were you on? He said, with the moon. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "And We have made the night and the day two signs, then We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day bright." (And We made the night and the day two signs, so We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day bright.) He (Umar) said: Go away, by Allah, you will never work for me!

Hazrat Zaid bin Aslam narrates from his father that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon before the people and said: I saw in a dream a red rooster that pecked me three times at the place where I tie my lower garment. I asked Asma bint Umais for its interpretation, and she said: If your dream is true, then a non-Arab man will kill you.
