445. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Ibn Azina that: A man came up to Abu Abdullah and said, ‘I saw (a dream) as if the sun emerging upon my head apart from my body’. So he said: ‘You will achieve a huge matter, and ‘وَ نُوراً سَاطِعا’ً a brilliant light, and a comprehensive Religion. Had it covered you, you would have been submerged in it, but it only covered your head. But, have you not read: “[6:78] Then when he saw the sun rising, he said: Is this my Lord? Is this the greatest? So when it set”, Ibrahim distanced himself from it’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you , they are saying that the sun is a Caliph or a king’. So he said: ‘I do not see how you can achieve the Caliphate and there was never a king in your forefathers and your ancestors. And which Caliphate and kingdom is greater than the Religion, and ‘النُّورِ’ the Light which you hope would make you to enter into the Paradise? They are mistaken’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you , you have spoken the truth’.
