فَصْلٌ [ رُؤْيَةِ سَيِّدِنَا عُمَرَ ؓ فِي الْمَنَامِ] أَخْرَجَ ابْنُ عَسَاكِرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ قَالَ: (سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ حَوْلًا بَعْدَمَا مَاتَ عُمَرُ أَنْ يُرِيَنِّيهِ فِي الْمَنَامِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ حَوْلٍ وَهُوَ يَسْلِتُ الْعَرَقَ عَنْ جَبِينِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ فَقَالَ: هَذَا أَوَانُ فَرَغْتُ، وَإِنْ كَادَ عَرْشُ عُمَرَ لَيُهَدُّ لَوْلَا أَنِّي لَقِيتُ رَءُوفًا رَحِيمًا). وَأَخْرَجَ أَيْضًا عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ:) أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي رَأَى عُمَرَ فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ: كَيْفَ صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ: مَتَى فَارَقْتُكُمْ؟ قَالَ: مُنْذُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، قَالَ: إِنَّمَا انْفَلَتُّ الْآنَ مِنَ الْحِسَابِ). وَأَخْرَجَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَقُولُ: (دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُرِيَنِي عُمَرَ فِي النَّوْمِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ الْعَرَقَ عَنْ جَبِينِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؛ مَا فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ: الْآنَ فَرَغْتُ، وَلَوْلَا رَحْمَةُ رَبِّي.. لَهَلَكْتُ).
Translation
✧ A section [The Dream-Vision of Our Master ʿUmar ؓ] Ibn ʿAsākir transmitted from Ibn ʿAbbās that al-ʿAbbās said: “I asked God for a year after ʿUmar died that He show him to me in a dream, and I saw him after a year while he was wiping the sweat from his forehead. I said: ‘By my father and mother, O Commander of the Faithful, what is your state?’ He said: ‘This is the time I have just finished, and the throne of ʿUmar would almost have collapsed had I not met a Clement, Merciful One.’” He also transmitted from Zayd b. Aslam that ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣī saw ʿUmar in a dream and said to him: “How have you fared?” He said: “When did I part from you?” He said: “Twelve years ago.” He said: “I have only now been released from the reckoning.” Ibn Saʿd transmitted from Sālim b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar, who said: I heard a man from the Anṣār say: “I called upon God to show me ʿUmar in sleep, and I saw him after ten years while he was wiping the sweat from his forehead. I said: ‘O Commander of the Faithful, what have you done?’ He said: ‘Now I have finished, and were it not for the mercy of my Lord, I would have perished.’”
