English translation
4636. It was narrated from Abān bin 'Uthmān, from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh, that he would narrate, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Last night a righteous man saw (in a dream) that Abū Bakr was joined to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and 'Umar was joined to Abū Bakr, and 'Uthmān was joined to 'Umar." Jābir said: "When we left the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ we said: 'The righteous man is the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the joining between them means that they will be in charge of this matter with which Allāh has sent His Prophet ﷺ.'" (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: Yūnus and Shu'āib did not mention 'Umar in their narration.
