Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2720b
"عن محاربِ بن دثار: أن عمر قال لرجل: من أنت؟ قال: أنا قاضى دمشق، قال: وكيف تَقضى؟ قال: أقضى بكتاب اللَّه، قال: فإذا جاء ما ليس في كتاب اللَّه؟ قال: أقضى بسنة رسول اللَّه ﷺ، فإذا جاء ما ليس في سنة رسول اللَّه؟ قال: أجتهد رأى وأؤامر جلسائى، فقال له عمر: أحسنت، وقال له عمر: إذا جلست فقل: اللهم إنى أسألك أن أقضى بعلم، وأن أفتى بحلم، وأن أسألك العدْل في الغضبِ والرضى. قال: فسار ما شاء اللَّه ثم رجع إلى عمر، قال: مَا رَجعك؟ قال: رأيت فيما يرى النائم: أن الشمس والقمر يقتتلان، مع كل واحد منهما جنود من الكواكب، قال: مع أيهما كنت؟ قال: مع القمر، قال عمر: نعوذ باللَّه {وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ فَمَحَوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً ()} واللَّه لا تَلِى لى عملًا أبدًا، قال: فيزعمون أن ذلك الرجلَ قُتِلَ مع معاوية".

"On the authority of Muharib ibn Dithar: that 'Umar said to a man, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am the judge of Damascus.' He said, 'And how do you judge?' He said, 'I judge by the Book of Allah.' He said, 'And if something comes that is not in the Book of Allah?' He said, 'I judge by the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'And if something comes that is not in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'I exert my opinion and consult my companions.' So 'Umar said to him, 'You have done well.' And 'Umar said to him, 'When you sit down, say: O Allah, I ask You to let me judge with knowledge, and to give fatwa with forbearance, and I ask You for justice in anger and in contentment.' He said: So he traveled for as long as Allah willed, then returned to 'Umar. He said, 'What brought you back?' He said, 'I saw in a dream, as the sleeper sees, that the sun and the moon were fighting, and with each of them were armies of stars.' He said, 'With which of them were you?' He said, 'With the moon.' 'Umar said, 'We seek refuge in Allah. {And We made the night and the day two signs, then We effaced the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible} (). By Allah, you will never hold any office for me, ever.' He said: They claim that this man was killed with Mu'awiyah."
