حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: وَفَدْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، فَأُدْخِلْنَا عَلَيْهِ،، ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرَةَ، حَدِّثْنِي بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْجِبُهُ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ وَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ: " أَيُّكُمْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا؟ " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ مِيزَانًا دُلِّيَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَوُزِنْتَ أَنْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ وُزِنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِعُمَرَ، فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِعُمَرَ، ثُمَّ وُزِنَ عُمَرُ بِعُثْمَانَ، فَرَجَحَ عُمَرُ بِعُثْمَانَ، ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ، فَاسْتَاءَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " خِلَافَةُ نُبُوَّةٍ، ثُمَّ يُؤْتِي اللهُ الْمُلْكَ مَنْ يَشَاءُ "، قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِيهِ: فَاسْتَآلَهَا، (١) وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ: فَسَاءَهُ ذَلِكَ (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakrah says that once I was present with my father in the service of Amir Muawiyah. When we reached him, he said, "O Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), tell me a hadith that you have heard yourself." He said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to like good dreams very much, and the Prophet (ﷺ) used to ask about them. So, as usual, one day he asked, 'Has anyone among you seen a dream?' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have seen one. I saw that a scale was lowered from the sky, in which your weight was measured against Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and your side was heavier. Then Abu Bakr was weighed against Umar, and Abu Bakr's side was heavier. Then Umar was weighed against Uthman, and Umar's side was heavier. Then the scale was lifted up.' The Prophet (ﷺ) felt burdened by this dream and said, 'This is an indication towards the Caliphate of Prophethood. After this, Allah will give authority to whom He wills.'"
