(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
الزُّبَيْدِيُّ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ
عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ
جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أُرِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ نِيطَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَنِيطَ عُمَرُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَنِيطَ عُثْمَانُ بِعُمَرَ " ، قَالَ جَابِرٌ : فَلَمَّا قُمْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قُلْنَا : أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ فَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَمَّا ذِكْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نَوْطِ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ ، فَهُمْ وُلَاةُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ الَّذِي بَعَثَ اللَّهُ بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once said: "Tonight, a righteous man saw in a dream that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr was weighed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then Sayyiduna Umar was weighed with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, then Sayyiduna Uthman was weighed with Sayyiduna Umar." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "When we got up and left from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we were saying among ourselves that the righteous man refers to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself, and as for the matter of weighing, it is an indication that they will be responsible for the matter of this religion which Allah has sent with His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
