[Machine] Narrated to us something he heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be pleased with good dreams and ask about them. One day he said, 'Which of you had a dream?' A man said, 'I had a dream that I saw as if a balance was lowered from the sky and I and Abu Bakr were weighed, and you were heavier than Abu Bakr. Then Abu Bakr and Umar were weighed, and Abu Bakr was heavier than Umar. Then Umar and Uthman were weighed, and Umar was heavier than Uthman. Then the balance was lifted and the dream ended.' Hamad also mentioned this dream, and it troubled him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The caliphate (succession) of prophethood and then Allah gives the kingdom to whom He wills.' He said, 'It upset our stomachs, and we were expelled.' Ziyad said, 'Abu Bakr, did you not find any other hadith to narrate except this?' He replied, 'No, by Allah, I will not narrate anything except this until I part from you.' So we left. Then he called us again and said, 'O Abu Bakr, narrate to us something you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So I narrated it to him and he patted me on the chest and we were expelled. Ziyad said, 'Abu Bakr, did you not find any other hadith to narrate except this?' He replied, 'No, by Allah, I will not narrate anything except this until I part from you.' So we left and spent some days. Then he called us again and said, 'O Abu Bakr, narrate to us something you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So I narrated it to him and he patted me on the chest. Muawiyah said, 'Are you speaking about the kingdom? We have already accepted the kingdom.'"

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told me something he heard, saying: "The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was fond of righteous dreams and would inquire about them. One day, he asked: 'Who among you has seen a dream?' A man replied: 'I have, O Messenger of Allah, I saw as if scales descended from the sky and you were weighed against Abu Bakr, and you outweighed him. Then Abu Bakr was weighed against Umar and Abu Bakr outweighed Umar. Then Umar was weighed against Uthman and Umar outweighed Uthman. Then the scales were lifted.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pondered over it and said: 'The leadership comes after Prophethood, then Allah gives the kingdom to whomever He wills.' Affan said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased with it, while Hammad said that it saddened him."  

حَدِّثْنِي بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ وَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَيُّكُمْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ مِيزَانًا دُلِّيَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَوُزِنْتَ أَنْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ وُزِنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِعُمَرَ فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِعُمَرَ ثُمَّ وُزِنَ عُمَرُ بِعُثْمَانَ فَرَجَحَ عُمَرُ بِعُثْمَانَ ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ فَاسْتَاءَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ خِلَافَةُ نُبُوَّةٍ ثُمَّ يُؤْتِي اللهُ الْمُلْكَ مَنْ يَشَاءُ قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِيهِ فَاسْتَآلَهَا وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَسَاءَهُ ذَلِكَ  

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أبِى بَكْرَةَ قَالَ: وَفَدْنَا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَة وَمَعَنَا أَبُو بَكْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أبَا بَكْرَةَ حَدثنَا بِشَىْء سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ أبُو بَكْرَةَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الرؤيَا الحَسَنَة وَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا، وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ: أيُّكُمْ رَأَى رَؤْيَا؟ فَقَالَ رَجُل مِنَ القَوم: أَنَا رَأَيْتُ مِيزَانًا دُلِّى مِنَ السمَاءِ فَوزِنْتَ أنْتَ وَأبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحْتَ بِأبِى بَكْرٍ،

وَوُزِنَ فِيهِ أبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِعُمَرَ، وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ وَعثمَانُ فَرجَحَ عُمَرُ بِعثمَانَ، ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الميزَانُ فَأسْتَألَّهَا نَبِىُّ الله ﷺ أَىْ: أولَّهَا -فَقَالَ: خِلَافَةُ نُبُوَّةٍ وَيُؤْتِى الله المُلكَ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وقال رسول الله ﷺ : من قتل نفسا معاهدة بغير حقها لم يجد ريح الجنة وإن ريحها ليوجد من مسيرة خمسمائة وَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : لَيَرد عَلَى الحَوْضَ رِجَالٌ مِمَّنْ صَحِبَنِى وَرآنِى، فَإِذا رُفِعُوا إِلَىَّ وَرَأيْتُهُمْ اخْتَلَجُوا دُونِى فَأقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ أَصْحَابِى! وَفِى لَفْظٍ: أصْحَابِى، فَيُقَالُ: مَا تَدْرِىِ مَا أَحْدثُوا بَعْدَكَ".
