بَابُ مَا اشْتَرَكَ فِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ رَضِىَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْChapter on What Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, and ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them) Shared
Hadith 11582
اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ ”رَأَيْتُ قُبَيْلَ الْفَجْرِ كَأَنِّي أُعْطِيتُ الْمَقَالِيدَ وَالْمَوَازِينَ فَأَمَّا الْمَقَالِيدُ فَهَذِهِ الْمَفَاتِيحُ وَأَمَّا الْمَوَازِينُ فَهِيَ الَّتِي تَزِنُونَ بِهَا فَوُضِعْتُ فِي كِفَّةٍ وَوُضِعَتْ أُمَّتِي فِي كِفَّةٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَوُزِنَ بِهِمْ فَوَزَنَ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِعُمَرَ فَوُزِنَ فَوَزَنَ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِعُثْمَانَ فَوُزِنَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ رُفِعَتْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day after sunrise, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: Today, a little before the break of dawn, I saw as if keys and a scale were given to me. The keys are these very keys, and the scale also refers to this very scale with which you weigh things. I was placed in one pan of the scale and my Ummah in the other, and I outweighed them. Then Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought and weighed against them, and he outweighed them. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought and weighed, and he outweighed them. After that, the scale was lifted up.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … These keys—by them, the intent is to indicate that this Ummah will discover the treasures of the earth through these keys.
As for these scales (taraazu) with which you weigh, it is possible that the meaning is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was given the scales so that he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam may command his Ummah to justice and fairness. And it is also possible that the meaning is that this Ummah has been granted secrets and mysteries, by means of which it will give preference to some matters over others—such as giving preference to some Prophets over others, or giving preference to some Companions over others. And it is also possible that these scales were brought specifically to weigh these very personalities, so that their virtue may be established.
