A--- Diriwayatkan daripada Abu Hurairah (semoga Allah meredainya): Aku mendengar Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Ketika aku sedang tidur, aku melihat diriku berdiri di sebuah telaga, di atasnya ada sebuah timba. Aku menimba air dari telaga itu sebanyak yang Allah kehendaki. Kemudian Ibn Abu Quhafa (iaitu Abu Bakar) mengambil timba itu daripadaku lalu menimba satu atau dua timba (air), dan terdapat kelemahan dalam caranya menimba. Semoga Allah mengampuni kelemahannya. Kemudian timba itu berubah menjadi sebuah timba yang sangat besar, dan Ibn Al-Khattab mengambilnya alih. Aku tidak pernah melihat seorang yang perkasa di kalangan manusia seperti dia dalam melakukan kerja yang berat itu, sehingga orang ramai minum sehingga puas dan memberi minum unta-unta mereka yang berlutut di situ." (Bukhari dan Muslim)

A--- Narrated Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him): I heard Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well, on it there was a bucket. I drew water from the well as much as Allah wished. Then Ibn Abu Quhafa (i.e. Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and brought out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing the water. May Allah forgive his weakness for him. Then the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattab took it over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
