Hadith 8808

حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إِنِّي رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ أَنْزِعُ بِدَلْوٍ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ بِهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ فِيهِمَا ضَعْفٌ وَاللَّهُ يَرْحَمُهُ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ ، فَإِنْ بَرِحَ يَنْزِعُ حَتَّى اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا ثُمَّ ضَرَبَتْ بِعَطَنٍ ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَزْعِ عَبْقَرِيٍّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ نَزْعِ 63 عُمَرَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Once in a dream I saw that I was drawing water from a reservoir and giving people water to drink. Then Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me and, to give me relief, took the bucket from my hand and drew one or two buckets, but there were some signs of weakness in it. May Allah have mercy on him. Then Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me, he took the bucket, and the bucket became a large bucket in his hand. People drank their fill from it, and I have not seen any outstanding man draw water as well as Umar.
