Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6192

حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ ، عَلَيْهَا دَلْوٌ ، فَنَزَعْتُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَنَزَعَ بِهَا ذَنُوبًا ، أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ ، وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا ، فَأَخَذَهَا ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ.

Abu Hurairah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: 'While I was sleeping, I saw myself at a well by which there was a bucket. I drew as much (water) as Allah willed from it, then the son of Abu Quhafah (i.e., Abu Bakr As-Siddiq) took it and drew a bucket or two with some weakness, may Allah forgive him. Then it changed into a large bucket, and the son of Al-Khattab took it, and I have never seen any leader among the people draw water as vigorously as 'Umar bin Al-Khattab; (he drew so much water) that the people drank their 'fill and then they stayed there for a while."'
