- (بينما أنا على بئر أَنْزِعُ منها؛ جاءني أبو بكر وعمر، فأخذ أبو بكر الدلو، فنزع ذنوباً أو ذنوبين، وفي نزعه ضعف، والله يغفر له! ثم أخذها ابن الخطاب من يد أبي بكر، فاستحالت في يده غرباً، فلم أر عبقرياً من الناس يفري فريه، فنزع، حئى ضرب الناس بعطن ٍ) . جاء من حديث ابن عمر، وأبي هريرة، وأبي الطفيل. أما حديث ابن عمر؛ فرواه عنه اثنان: أولهما ة سالم - ولده-:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I (in a dream) was drawing water from a well. Abu Bakr came to me and took the bucket and drew one or two buckets, and there was some weakness in his drawing, and Allah will forgive him. Then Umar ibn al-Khattab took the bucket from Abu Bakr's hand, and it became a very large bucket. I have never seen such a strong and capable man working in such a way. He drew so much water that the people watered their camels and stayed by the water." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, and Sayyiduna Abu Tufail (may Allah be pleased with them).
