Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْقُرَشِيُّ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنْتَ؟، فَقَالَ : " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ،أَتَانِي مَلَكَانِ وَأَنَا بِبَعْضِ بَطْحَاءِ مَكَّةَ فَوَقَعَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَي الْأَرْضِ، وَكَانَ الْآخَرُ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ : أَهُوَ هُوَ؟، قَالَ :
نَعَمْ، قَالَ : فَزِنْهُ بِرَجُلٍ، فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِ فَوَزَنْتُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : فَزِنْهُ بِعَشَرَةٍ، فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : زِنْهُ بِمِئَةٍ، فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : زِنْهُ بِأَلْفٍ، فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَنْتَثِرُونَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ خِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ : لَوْ وَزَنْتَهُ بِأُمَّتِهِ لَرَجَحَهَا "

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'I said: O Messenger of Allah, how did you know that you were a prophet until you were certain of it?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Abu Dharr, two angels came to me while I was in a valley of Makkah. One of them descended to earth and the other remained in the sky. It was said: Is this him? It was said: Yes. It was said: Weigh him against a man. I outweighed him. Then it was said: Weigh him against a hundred men. I outweighed them. Then it was said: Weigh him against a thousand men. I outweighed them. So the one in the sky said to the one on earth: Even if you were to weigh him against his entire community he would outweigh them.'
