Umar's vision before he was stabbed
[AI] I performed Hajj and came to Madinah in the year in which Umar was struck. He said: He delivered a sermon and said, "I saw as if a red rooster pecked me once or twice"—Shubah was uncertain. He remained only until Friday, then he was stabbed. Then he mentioned something similar, except that he said, "And I counsel you concerning the people under your protection, for they are the covenant of your Prophet." Shubah said: Then I asked him after that, and he said about the Bedouins, "And I counsel you concerning the Bedouins, for they are your brothers and the enemy of your enemy."
حَجَجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ الْعَامَ الَّذِي أُصِيبَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ. قَالَ: فَخَطَبَ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دِيكًا أَحْمَرَ نَقَرَنِي نَقْرَةً أَوْ نَقْرَتَيْنِ، شُعْبَةُ الشَّاكُّ. قَالَ: فَمَا لَبِثَ إِلَّا جُمُعَةً حَتَّى طُعِنَ. فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: وَأُوصِيكُمْ بِأَهْلِ ذِمَّتِكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ ذِمَّةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ. قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: فِي الْأَعْرَابِ، وَأُوصِيكُمْ بِالْأَعْرَابِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ وَعَدُوُّ عَدُوِّكُمْ.
