"عن ابن عمر قال: كَانَ عُمَرُ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَعَرضَ في خُطبَتِه أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا سَارِيَةُ: الْجَبَلَ، مَنِ اسْتَرعَى الذّئبَ ظَلَمَ، فَالتَفَتَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُم إِلَى بَعْضٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَلِىٌّ: لَيَخْرُجَن مِمَّا قَالَ: فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ سَألُوهُ، فَقَالَ: وَقَعَ في خَلَدِى أَنَّ المُشْرِكِينَ هَزَمُوا إِخْوَانَنَا وَأنَّهُم يَرْمُونَ بِجَبَلٍ، فَإِنْ عَدَلُوا إِلَيْهِ قَاتَلُوا مِنْ وَجْهٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَإِنْ جَاوَزُوا أُهْلِكُوا، فَخَرجَ مِنَى مَا تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكُم سَمعتُمُوهُ، فَجَاءَ البَشِيرُ بَعدَ شَهْرٍ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُم سَمِعُوا صَوْتَ عُمَرَ فِى ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، قَالَ: فَعَدَلنَا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَفَتَحَ اللَّه عَلَيْنَا".

"Ibn 'Umar said: 'Umar was delivering a sermon on Friday, and in his sermon he said: 'O Sariyah, the mountain! Whoever entrusts the wolf with his flock has wronged.' The people looked at one another, and 'Ali said to them: 'He will surely come out with what he said.' When he finished, they asked him, and he said: 'It occurred to my mind that the polytheists had defeated our brothers and that they were shooting at a mountain. If they turned toward it, they would fight from one direction, but if they passed it, they would be destroyed. So there came out of me what you claim you heard.' Then the messenger came after a month and reported that they had heard the voice of 'Umar on that day. He said: 'So we turned toward the mountain, and Allah granted us victory.'"
