Hadith 27:332

Ali ibn Mushir narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Amr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "While I was drawing water at a well, Ibn Abi Quhafah (Abu Bakr) came and drew a bucket or two, and there was weakness in his drawing, and may Allah forgive him. Then Umar came and drew until it transformed in his hand into a large bucket, and he watered the people at the resting place (the watering trough). I have never seen a genius (abqari) perform such a feat as he did."

حدثنا علي بن مسهر عن محمد بن عمرو عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بينا أنا أسقي على بئر إذ جاء بن أبي قحافة فنزع ذنوبا أو ذنوبين فيهما ضعف والله يغفر له ثم جاء عمر فنزع حتى استحالت في يده غربا وضرب الناس بالعطن فما رأيت عبقريا يفري فريه
