Seeking forgiveness

Companions of the Prophet

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3664

مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، فَنَزَعَ بِهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ، وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ، وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ضَعْفَهُ، ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا، فَأَخَذَهَا ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَ عُمَرَ، حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ

mā shāʾa-Llāh, thumma akhadhahā ābnu abī quḥāfaha, fanazaʿa bihā dhanūban aw dhanūbayni, wafī nazʿihi ḍaʿfun, wallāh yaghfiru lah ḍaʿfah, thumma āstaḥālat gharban, fa-akhadhahā ābnu al-khaṭṭābi, falam ara ʿabqariyyan mina an-nāsi yanziʿu nazʿa ʿumara, ḥattā ḍaraba an-nāsu biʿaṭanin

The full narration

Narrated Abu Huraira:I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Abi 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
