"عَنِ الربيع بن سبرة الجهنِى قال: لما غَزَا عُمَرُ وأرادَ الخروجَ إلى الشَّامِ خَرجْتُ مَعَهُ، فلمَّا أرادَ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ نظرتُ، فإذا القَمَرُ في الدَّبور فأردْتُ أَنْ أذكر ذَلِكَ لعمرَ، فعرَفت أنه يكرهُ ذِكرَ النُّجُومِ، فَقُلْتُ له: يا أبا حفصٍ: انْظُرْ إلى القمرِ ما أحسن اسْتِوَاءَهُ الليلة، فنظر فإذا هُوَ بالدّبران () قال: قَدْ عَرَفْتُ مَا تُريدُ يا بن سبرة: تَقُولُ إِنَّ القَمَرَ بالدبرَان! ! اللَّه مَا يَخْرجُ بَشَمسٍ ولا بقمرٍ، ولكِن تَخْرجُ باللَّه الواحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ".

"On the authority of al-Rabi' ibn Sabrah al-Juhani, who said: When 'Umar made a campaign and intended to set out for al-Sham, I set out with him. When he wanted to slaughter [an animal], I looked and saw the moon in al-Dabur. I wanted to mention that to 'Umar, but I realised that he disliked mention of the stars. So I said to him: O Abu Hafs, look at the moon, how beautiful its alignment is tonight. He looked, and it was at al-Dabaran. He said: I know what you want, O son of Sabrah. You say the moon is at al-Dabaran! By Allah, nothing comes out by the sun or by the moon, but it comes out by Allah, the One, the Subduer."
