English translation

4634. It was narrated from Al-Hasan, from Abū Bakrah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Who among you has seen a dream?" A man said: "I saw scales coming down from the sky, and you and Abū Bakr were weighed in them and you outweighed Abū Bakr. Then Abū Bakr and 'Umar were weighed in them, and Abū Bakr outweighed 'Umar. Then 'Umar and 'Uthmān were weighed in them, and 'Umar outweighed 'Uthmān. Then the scales were lifted up." And I saw displeasure in the face of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. (Da'if) meaning. And the second statement: "Aqsamtu" or: "I adjure you" which is a kind of oath. And that this is one of the mistakes, or the main mistake, which is an apparent interpretation of the text, since the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not swear oaths" in reply to Abū Bakr asking: "Tell me what I got wrong." While they also say that Abū Bakr may have been mistaken in it from a number of other speculative angles, which are elaborated upon and discussed by Ibn Hajar in Fath Al-Bārī (no. 7046).

4634 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَشْعَثُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ: «مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ رُؤْيَا؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا، رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ مِيزَانًا نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَوُزِنْتَ أَنْتَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحْتَ أَنْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ، فَرَجَحَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ، فَرَأَيْنَا الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
