Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I saw (in a dream) that a bucket was hung from the sky. Abu Bakr came, caught hold of both ends of its wooden handle, and drank a little of it. Next came ‘Umar who caught hold of both ends of its wooden handle and drank of it to his fill. Next came ‘Uthman who caught hold of both ends of its handle and drank of it to his fill. Next came ‘All. He caught hold of both ends of its handle, but it became upset and some (water) from it was sprinkled on him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4637)

"رأَيتُ كَأَنَّ دلْوًا دُلِّيتْ مِنَ السَّماءِ، فَجاءَ أبو بكر فَأَخَذَ بِعَراقَيْها،

فَشَربَ شُرْبًا ضَعِيفًا، ثُمَّ جاءَ عُمرُ فَأَخَذَ بِعَراقَيْها، فَشَرب حَتَّى تَضَلَّعَ، ثم جاءَ عثمانُ فَأَخَذَ بعراقَيْهَا, فَشَرِبَ حتى تَضَلَّع, ثم جاءَ علىٌّ فَأَخَذَ بِعرْاقَيْها، فانْقَشَعتْ مِنْهُ، وانتضح عليه منها".
