4637. It was narrated from Samurah bin Jundab that a man said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I saw a bucket hanging from the sky. Abū Bakr came and took hold of its handles and drank a little, then 'Umar came and took hold of its handles and drank his fill, then 'Uthmān came and took hold of its handles and drank his fill. Then 'Alī came and took hold of its handles but it tipped, and some of the water spilled on him." (Hasan)
4637 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: «إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دَلْوًا دُلِّيَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَأَخَذَ بِعَرَاقِيهَا فَشَرِبَ شُرْبًا ضَعِيفًا، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَأَخَذَ بِعَرَاقِيهَا فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى تَضَلَّعَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَخَذَ بِعَرَاقِيهَا فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى تَضَلَّعَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَخَذَ بِعَرَاقِيهَا فَانْتَشَطَتْ، وَانْتَضَحَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ»
