مسند أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه

Hadith 30:1687

Mu'awiyah ibn 'Amr narrated to us, he said: Za'idah narrated to us, from 'Asim, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said: "I saw myself at a well, drawing water with a bucket. Then Abu Bakr took it and drew a bucketful or two, and there was some weakness in his drawing, and may Allah have mercy on him. Then 'Umar took it, and it transformed in his hands into a large bucket, and he continued to draw until the people drank their fill and watered their camels until they rested. I have never seen a master of the people draw water as skillfully as 'Umar."

حدثنا معاوية بن عمرو، قال: حدثنا زائدة، عن عاصم، عن أبي صالح، عن أبي هريرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " إني رأيتني على قليب أنزع بدلو ، ثم أخذها أبو بكر فنزع بها ذنوبا، أو ذنوبين فيهما ضعف، والله يرحمه، ثم أخذها عمر، فإن برح ينزع حتى استحالت غربا، ثم ضربت بعطن، فما رأيت من نزع عبقري أحسن من نزع عمر "
