Dreams interpreted by Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

It is narrated from Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah al-Ya'mari that one Friday Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, or the narrator says that he gave a sermon one Friday and, after praising and glorifying Allah, said: "O people! I saw in a dream a red rooster that pecked me twice, and the only interpretation I can see for it is that the time of my death has drawn near."

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

It is narrated from Abdullah bin al-Harith al-Khuza'i, who said: I heard Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saying in his sermon: "Last night I saw a rooster that pecked me, and I saw the people driving it away from me." He did not remain three days after this before Abu Lu'lu'ah, the slave of Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him), martyred him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream, and 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 the One who sent you with the truth, after today I will not kiss my wife while fasting.'"

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!"

Zayd bin Aslam narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a sermon before the people and said: "I saw in a dream a red rooster that gave me three pecks at the place where my lower garment is tied. I asked Sayyidah Asma bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her) for its interpretation, and she said: 'If your dream comes true, a non-Arab man will kill you.'"
