حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ، عَلَيْهَا دَلْوٌ فَنَزَعْتُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَنَزَعَ بِهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزعِهِ ضَعْفٌ، وَاللهُ يَغْفرُ لَهُ ضَعْفَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا، ⦗١٢٧⦘ فَأَخَذَهَا ابْنُ الْخَطَابِ، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَ عُمَرَ، حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بَعَطَنٍ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
I heard Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, “While I was sleeping, (in a dream) I saw myself standing at a well, on it there was a bucket. I drew water from the well as much as Allâh wished. Then Ibn Abî Quhâfa (i.e. Abû Bakr) took the bucket from me and took out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing the water. May Allâh forgive his weakness for him.Then the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattâb took it over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there.”( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 16, Vol. 5)
