حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَشْعَثُ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ : " مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ رُؤْيَا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَنَا رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ مِيزَانًا نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَوُزِنْتَ أَنْتَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحْتَ أَنْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ ، وَعُثْمَانُ فَرَجَحَ عُمَرُ ، ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ ، فَرَأَيْنَا الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Narrated Abu Bakrah: One day the Prophet ﷺ said: Which of you had dream? A man said: It is I. I saw as though a scale descended from the sky. You and Abu Bakr were weighed and you were heavier; Abu Bakr and Umar were weighed and Abu Bakr was heavier: Umar and Uthman were weighed and Umar was heavier; than the scale was taken up. we saw signs of dislike on the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The weighing in the dream was a parable whose meaning is clear: that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is superior, loftier, and weightier than his entire ummah, and in fact, the previous communities are insignificant in comparison.
Similarly, among the eminent Companions, there is none superior to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (radi Allahu anhu).
After him is the rank of Umar (radi Allahu anhu).
Although these and other Companions surpass one another in their individual virtues and merits, in the overall sense, the conclusion stated is the one reached, and this is the belief of the ummah.
➋
The change in the face of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) when the scales were lifted was most likely because, after this, tribulations were to arise.
As indeed, events have proven this.
And Allah knows best.
According to some scholars, this narration is authentic.

Explanation:

The reason for the displeasure was that the removal of the Balance (Mizan) implied that after (Umar radi Allahu anhu), tribulations (fitan) would begin,
and Allah knows best.
