Jami at-Tirmidhi 2287 (Book 34, Hadith 18) #27920
Weighing Against Each Other

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) asked his companions if anyone had a dream, and one of them shared a dream in which the Prophet (s.a.w) was weighed against Abu Bakr, Abu Bakr against 'Umar, and 'Umar against 'Uthman; each time the Prophet (s.a.w) outweighed the other person in the scale, but this caused displeasure on the face of Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).

Abu Bakrah narrated: "One day the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "'Who among you had a dream?' A man said: "I did. I saw as if a scale had descended from the Heavens in which you and Abu Bakr were weighed So you outweighed Abu Bakr. Abu Bkar and 'Umar were weighed, and Abu Bakr outweighed ('Umar)'.Umar and 'Uthman were weighed and 'Umar outweighed ('Uthman). Then the scale was raised up'. Then I saw dislike in the the face of Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ، 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 فَرَجَحْتَ أَنْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَوُزِنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ فَرَجَحَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ ‏.‏ فَرَأَيْنَا الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

Focus on doing good deeds for His sake only without expecting any reward from people around us or trying to show off our accomplishments for worldly gains

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a dream that one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) shared with him and his other companions during their gathering one day; in this dream he saw a scale descending from Heaven in which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was weighed against Abu Bakr, then Abu Bakr was weighed against Umar and Umar was weighed against Uthman; each time it showed that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) outweighed them all but this caused displeasure on his face as he did not like to be compared to others or have any superiority over them as they were all equal before God Almighty according to Islamic teachings. This hadith teaches us that we should never compare ourselves with others or try to prove our superiority over them as we are all equal before God Almighty regardless of our status or achievements; instead we should focus on doing good deeds for His sake only without expecting any reward from people around us or trying to show off our accomplishments for worldly gains because ultimately it is only God who will judge us based on what we have done for Him alone without expecting anything in return from anyone else except Him alone!
