Hadith 34128
٣٤١٢٨ - حدثنا أبو داود (١) عمر بن سعد عن بدر بن عثمان عن عبيد اللَّه بن (مروان) (٢) عن أبي عائشة عن ابن عمر قال: خرج إلينا رسول اللَّه ﷺ ذات غداة فقال: "رأيت آنفا كأني أعطيت المقاليد والموازين، فأما المقاليد فهذه المفاتيح (٣)، فوضعتُ في كفة ووضعتْ أمتي في كفة فرجحت بهم، ثم جيء بأبي بكر فرجح، ثم جيء بعمر فرجح، ثم جيء بعثمان فرجح، ثم رفعت"، قال: فقال له رجل: ⦗١٨⦘ فأين نحن؟ قال: "حيث جعلتم أنفسكم" (٤).
Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us one morning and said: I have just seen in a dream that keys and a scale were given to me. Anyway, these are the keys. Then I was placed in one pan of the scale and my Ummah was placed in the other pan, and my pan became heavier. Then Abu Bakr was brought, and his pan also became heavier. Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought, and his pan also became heavier. Then Uthman was brought, and his pan also became heavier. Then the scale was taken away. The narrator says that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Where will we be? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Wherever you place yourselves.
