Hadith #516
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ ر
ُؤْيَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ اجْتَمَعُوا فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَمَا رَأَيْتُ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنْ النَّاسِ يَفْرِي فَرِيَّهُ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Affan, from Wuhayb, from Musa ibn 'Uqba, from Salim, from 'Abdullah — regarding the dream of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Abu Bakr and 'Umar: 'I saw the people gathered together. Abu Bakr stood and drew one or two buckets [from a well] — and there was weakness in his drawing, may Allah forgive him. Then Ibn al-Khattab stood, and [the bucket] turned into a large one [gharb]. I have never seen a great hero among the people work as masterfully as he did, until the people had watered [their camels] to their resting place.'
