Hadith 23:176

Abu Dawud Umar ibn Sa'd narrated to us, from Badr ibn Uthman, from Ubayd Allah ibn Marwan, from Abu A'isha, from Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) came out to us one morning and said: "I have just seen that I was given the scales and the keys. As for the keys, they are these keys, and as for the scales, they are those with which you weigh. I was placed in a scale pan and my nation was placed in a scale pan, and I outweighed them. Then Abu Bakr was brought and he outweighed them. Then Umar was brought and he outweighed them. Then Uthman was brought and he outweighed them." Then he said: "It was raised." A man said to him: "Where are we?" He said: "Where you have placed yourselves."

حدثنا أبو داود عمر بن سعد عن بدر بن عثمان عن عبيد الله بن مروان عن أبي عائشة عن بن عمر قال خرج إلينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات غداة فقال رأيت آنفا أني أعطيت الموازين والمقاليد فأما المقاليد فهذه المفاتيح وأما الموازين فهي التي تزنون بها فوضعت في كفة ووضعت أمتي في كفة فرجحت بهم فجيء بأبي بكر فرجح ثم جيء بعمر فرجح ثم جيء بعثمان فرجح ثم قال رفعت قال فقال له رجل فأين نحن قال حيث جعلتم أنفسكم
