[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how did you come to know that you are a prophet until you were certain?" He said, "O Abu Dharr, two angels came to me while I was at one of the hills of Makkah and one of them fell to the ground while the other was between the sky and the earth. One of them said to his companion, 'Is it him?' His companion replied, 'Yes.' Then he said, 'Weigh him against a man.' So I was weighed against him, and I outweighed him. Then he said, 'Weigh him against ten,' and I outweighed them. Then he said, 'Weigh him against one hundred,' and I outweighed them. Then he said, 'Weigh him against one thousand,' and I outweighed them. It was as if I could see them being scattered due to the light weight of the scale. Then one of them said to his companion, 'If you were to weigh him against his entire Ummah (nation), he would outweigh them.'"
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنْتَ؟ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَتَانِي مَلَكَانِ وَأَنَا بِبَعْضِ بَطْحَاءِ مَكَّةَ فَوَقَعَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَكَانَ الْآخَرُ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ أَهُوَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ زِنْهُ بِرَجُلٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِ فَوَزَنْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَزِنْهُ بِعَشَرَةٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ زِنْهُ بِمِائَةٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ زِنْهُ بِأَلْفٍ فَوُزِنْتُ بِهِمْ فَرَجَحْتُهُمْ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَنْتَثِرُونَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ خِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ لَوْ وَزَنْتَهُ بِأُمَّتِهِ لَرَجَحَهَا
