Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُمَر
َ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ لَا يَمُوتُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ حَتَّى يُسْتَخْلَفَ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ ثَلَاثَةً مِنْ أَصْحَابِي وُزِنُوا فَوُزِنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَوَزَنَ ثُمَّ وُزِنَ عُمَرُ فَوَزَنَ ثُمَّ وُزِنَ عُثْمَانُ فَنَقَصَ وَهُوَ صَالِحٌ

English Translation
It was narrated from a man of his tribe that during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab he used to say: 'Uthman ibn Affan will not die until he is made successor.' They asked: 'How do you know that?' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: I saw last night in a dream as if three of my companions were weighed. Abu Bakr was weighed and he weighed much. Then Umar was weighed and he weighed much. Then Uthman was weighed...'
