حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَشْعَثُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ‏ "‏ مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ رُؤْيَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ مِيزَانًا نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَوُزِنْتَ أَنْتَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرُجِحْتَ أَنْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرُجِحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ فَرُجِحَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ فَرَأَيْنَا الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who had a dream in which he saw that a scale descended from the sky. On this scale, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was weighed against his companion Abu Bakr and it was found that Abu Bakr was heavier than him. Then Umar and Uthman were weighed against each other with similar results; Umar being heavier than Uthman. After this, signs of dislike were seen on the face of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This hadith teaches us to be humble even if we are better or more knowledgeable than others because Allah knows best who is truly better or more knowledgeable in His eyes. It also teaches us to be content with whatever Allah has given us as He knows what is best for us even if we don't understand it at first glance.
