"رأَيتُ -فيما يرى النائم- كَأَنى أَنْزِعُ أَرْضًا وردتْ علىَّ غَنَمٌ سُودٌ، وغَنَمٌ عُفْرٌ، فَجاءَ أَبُو بكْرٍ، فَنَزَع ذَنُوبًا أَو دنُوبينِ وفيَهما ضَعفٌ -واللَّهُ يغفِرُ له- ثُمَّ جاءَ عُمرُ (فَنزعَ) فاسْتَحالَتْ غَرْبًا فَملأَ الحوْضَ، وأَرْوى الوارِدةَ، فَلَمْ أر عبْقَرِيًا أحْسنَ نَزْعًا من عُمر، فأَوَّلْتُ أنَّ السُّودَ العربُ، وأَنَّ العُفْر العجمُ".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I saw in a dream as if I was uprooting a land, and it turned back on me with a black sheep and a white sheep. Then Abu Bakr came and he removed one or two sins, both of which were weak, and Allah forgave him. Then Umar came and he removed and it turned into the west, and he filled the basin and quenched the thirst of those who drank from it. And I did not see someone better than Umar in removing sins. So, I concluded that the black sheep represents the Arabs and the white sheep represents the non-Arabs."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَيْتُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنِّي أَنْزِعُ أَرْضًا وَرَدَتْ عَلَيَّ وَغَنَمٌ سُودٌ وَغَنَمٌ عُفْرٌ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِيهِمَا ضَعْفٌ وَاللهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَنَزَعَ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَمَلَأَ الْحَوْضَ وَأَرْوَى الْوَارِدَةَ فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا أَحْسَنَ نَزْعًا مِنْ عُمَرَ فَأَوَّلْتُ أَنَّ السُّودَ الْعَرَبُ وَأَنَّ الْعُفْرَ الْعَجَمُ
