Hadith 24:172

Ibn Fudayl narrated to us, from ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib, who said: More than one person informed me that a judge from the judges of the people of Syria came to ‘Umar and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, I saw a vision that terrified me." ‘Umar said: "And what did you see?" He said: "I saw the sun and the moon fighting, and the stars were with them, divided into two halves." ‘Umar said: "And with which of them were you?" He said: "I was with the moon against the sun." ‘Umar said: "‘And We have made the night and the day as two signs, so We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible’ (Quran 17:12). Depart, for by Allah, you shall never work for me in any capacity ever again." ‘Ata’ said: It reached me that he was killed alongside Mu’awiyah on the day of Siffin.

حدثنا بن فضيل عن عطاء بن السائب قال أخبرني غير واحد أن قاضيا من قضاة أهل الشام أتى عمر فقال يا أمير المؤمنين رأيت رؤيا أفظعتني قال وما رأيت قال رأيت الشمس والقمر يقتتلان والنجوم معهما نصفين قال فمع أيهما كنت قال كنت مع القمر على الشمس فقال عمر @QB@ وجعلنا الليل والنهار آيتين فمحونا آية الليل وجعلنا آية النهار مبصرة @QE@ 1 فانطلق فوالله لا تعمل لي عملا أبدا قال عطاء فبلغني أنه قتل مع معاوية يوم صفين
