[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "I saw myself on a pulley, pulling out sins from a well. Abu Bakr then took the pulley and removed sins from it, equaling to one or two sins. May Allah have mercy on him. Then, Umar took the pulley, and if he wrung it, he would continue to pull out sins until it became empty. Then, it was struck with a whip made of palm fiber. I never saw anyone better at removing sins like Umar did."  

أحمد:٨٨٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ أَنْزِعُ بِدَلْوٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ بِهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ فِيهِمَاضَعْفٌ وَاللهُ يَرْحَمُهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ فَإِنْ بَرِحَ يَنْزِعُ حَتَّى اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا ثُمَّ ضَرَبَتْ بِعَطَنٍ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَزْعِ عَبْقَرِيٍّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ نَزْعِ عُمَرَ

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well, on it there was a bucket. I drew water from the well as much as Allah wished. Then Ibn Abi Quhafa (i.e. Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and brought out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing the water. May Allah forgive his weakness for him. Then the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattab took it over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there."  

البخاري:٣٦٦٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ عَلَيْهَا دَلْوٌ فَنَزَعْتُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَنَزَعَ بِهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ضَعْفَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَأَخَذَهَا ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَ عُمَرَ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well over which there was a bucket. I pulled out from it as many buckets of water as Allah wished, and then Ibn Abi Quhafa (Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and pulled out one or two full buckets, and there was weakness in his pull--may Allah forgive him. Then the bucket turned into a very large one and ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab took it. I have never seen any strong man among the people, drawing water with such strength as ʿUmar did, till the people (drank to their satisfaction and) watered their camels to their fill; whereupon the camels sat beside the water."

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ وَعَلَيْهَا دَلْوٌ فَنَزَعْتُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَنَزَعَ مِنْهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَأَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ
