The Prophet ﷺ said, "In a dream I saw myself drawing water from a well with a bucket. Abu Bakr came and drew a bucket or two weakly. May Allah forgive him. Then ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab came and the bucket turned into a very large one in his hands. I had never seen such a mighty person as he in doing such hard work till all the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. "While (in a dream), I was standing by a well, drawing water from it. Abu Bakr and ʿUmar came to me. Abu Bakr took the bucket (from me) and drew one or two buckets of water, and there was some weakness in his drawing. May Allah forgive him. Then Ibn Al-Khattab took the bucket from Abu Bakr, and the bucket turned into a very large one in his hands. I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work. He drew so much water that the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels." (Wahab, a sub-narrator said, "till their camels drank and knelt down.")

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "I saw in a dream that the people were gathered, and Abu Bakr ibn Abi Quhafa stood up and took away one or two sins.

I did not see a powerful gust of wind blowing until the people were struck by a catastrophe."
