Seeking forgiveness

Oneness, Uniqueness of Allah (Tawheed)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 7475

مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ أَنْزِعَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ، وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَفْرِي فَرِيَّهُ، حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ بِعَطَنٍ

mā shāʾa-Llāh an anziʿa, thumma akhadhahā ābnu abī quḥāfaha fanazaʿa dhanūban aw dhanūbayni wafī nazʿihi ḍaʿfun, wallāh yaghfiru lah, thumma akhadhahā ʿumaru fāstaḥālat gharban, falam ara ʿabqariyyan mina an-nāsi yafrī fariyyah, ḥattā ḍaraba an-nāsu ḥawlah biʿaṭanin

The full narration

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself (in a dream) standing by a well. I drew from it as much water as Allah wished me to draw, and then Ibn Quhafa (Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and drew one or two buckets, and there was weakness in his drawing----may Allah forgive him! Then `Umar took the bucket which turned into something like a big drum. I had never seen a powerful man among the people working as perfectly and vigorously as he did. (He drew so much water that) the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there. (See Hadith No. 16, Vol)
