حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ , أَخْبَرَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" بَيْنَمَا أَنَا عَلَى بِئْرٍ أَسْقِي ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ ، وَفِيهِمَا ضَعْفٌ ، وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَنَزَعَ حَتَّى اسْتَحَالَتْ فِي يَدِهِ غَرْبًا ، وَضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا يَفْرِي فَرْيَهُ " .
And the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Once in a dream I saw that I was drawing water from a cistern and giving people water to drink. Then 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 Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me, took the bucket, and the bucket became a large bucket in his hand. People were satisfied with it, and I have not seen any outstanding man who could draw water with a bucket better than Umar.
