" عن جابر قال: رأى رجل صالح ليلة كَأنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ نِيطَ بِرسُولِ الله ( ﷺ ، ثم نيط عمر بأبى بكر، ثم نيط عثمان بعمر، قال: جابر: فلما قمنا قلنا: الرجل الصالح رسول الله ﷺ ) (*) وهَؤُلاَءِ وُلاَةُ الأَمرِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ".

Last night a good man had a vision in which Abu Bakr seemed to be joined to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ‘Umar to Abu Bakr, and ‘Uthman to ‘Umar. Jabir said: When we got up and left the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we said: The good man is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and that their being joined together means that they are the rulers over this matter with which Allah has sent His Prophet ﷺ. Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by Yunus and Shu’aib, but they did not mention ‘Amr b. Aban.
