‏ ‏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 ‏

English Translation

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "While I was at a well drawing water, Abu Bakr came and drew one or two buckets, and there was some weakness in his drawing, and may Allah forgive him. Then 'Umar (رحمه الله) came and drew, and the bucket turned into a large one in his hand, and the people watered their camels at the trough. I have never seen a genius who worked as remarkably as he did."
