حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ کَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا صَخْرُ بْنُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَا أَنَا عَلَی بِئْرٍ أَنْزِعُ مِنْهَا إِذْ جَائَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ الدَّلْوَ فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ فَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْ يَدِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ فِي يَدِهِ غَرْبًا فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنْ النَّاسِ يَفْرِي فَرْيَهُ حَتَّی ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7019
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "(I saw in a dream that) while I was standing at a well and drawing water therefrom, suddenly Abu Bakr and `Umar came to me. Abu Bakr took the bucket and drew one or two buckets (full of water), but there was weakness in his pulling, but Allah forgave him. Then Ibn Al- Khattab took the bucket from Abu Bakr's hand and the bucket turned into a very large one in his hand. I have never seen any strong man among the people doing such a hard job as `Umar did, till (the people drank to their satisfaction) and water their camels to their fill and they sat near the water."
