Hadith 3790

- " يا أبا ذر! أتاني ملكان وأنا ببعض بطحاء مكة، فوقع أحدهما على الأرض وكان الآخر بين السماء والأرض، فقال أحدهما لصحابه: أهو هو؟ قال: نعم، قال: فزنه برجل فوزنت به، فوزنته، ثم قال: فزنه بعشرة، فوزنت بهم، فرجحتهم، ثم قال: زنه بمائة فوزنت بهم، فرجحتهم، ثم قال: زنه بألف فوزنت بهم، فرجحتهم ، كأني أنظر إليهم ينتثرون علي من خفة الميزان، قال: فقال أحدهما لصاحبه: لو وزنته بأمة لرجحها ".
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! When you were adorned with the crown of Prophethood, how did you come to know that you are a Prophet?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Abu Dharr! Two angels came to me while I was in a valley of Makkah at that time. One of them was on the earth and the other was between the earth and the sky. One said to the other: (The person to whom we have been sent) Is this the one? The other replied: Yes. He said: Weigh him against one man. I was weighed, but I was heavier. He said: Weigh him against ten men. I was weighed, but I was still heavier than them. He said: Weigh him against a hundred people. I was weighed, but my weight was still more. He said: Weigh him against a thousand people. I was weighed, but (even this time) I was heavier, and their side of the scale was lifted so high that I feared it might fall upon me due to the lightness of their side. (Finally) one said to the other: If you weigh him against his entire Ummah, he will still prove heavier than all of them."
