حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ تَتَوَضَّأُ إِلَى جَانِبِ قَصْرٍ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ فَقَالَتْ لِعُمَرَ . فَذَكَرْتَ غَيْرَتَهُ فَوَلَّيْتُ مُدْبِرًا " . قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَبَكَى عُمَرُ فَقَالَ أَعَلَيْكَ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَغَارُ
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
We were sitting with the Prophet and he said: 'While I was sleeping I saw myself in Paradise (in a dream), and I saw a woman performing ablution beside a palace. I asked: "Whose palace is this?" She said: "'Umar's." I remembered his protective jealousy, so I turned away and left.'" Abu Hurairah said: ''Umar wept and said: 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! Would I feel any protective jealousy against you?'"

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 107
This hadith about Umar's palace in Paradise is narrated by Abu Hurairah. The Prophet said that while sleeping, he saw himself in Paradise and saw a woman performing ablution beside a palace. When he asked whose palace it was, he was told it belonged to Umar. The Prophet then remembered Umar's protective jealousy and turned away. Abu Hurairah adds that Umar wept and spoke with deep respect to the Messenger of Allah. The narration focuses on a dream, a palace in Paradise, and Umar's respectful reaction. It does not describe the palace in detail, nor does it explain the identity of the woman. The safe explanation is to keep the focus on the honor shown to Umar in this report.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet described a dream in which Umar had a palace in Paradise.
- Umar's protective jealousy is mentioned in the text.
