"From Muslim: I saw Umar ibn al-Khattab at al-Muhassab. I saw him lie down and look at the horizon. His companions asked him about certain matters, but he did not answer them at all. They said: 'Did you sleep, O Commander of the Faithful?' He said: 'By Allah, I did not sleep, but things my soul spoke to me about, until, by Allah, they troubled me. I looked at all the matters, and they were going upward, until when they reached their end, they returned and became nothing. I feared that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had died, and that Islam had weakened until al-Abbas would die.'"
