تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَاسْتَقَى فَاسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَفْرِي فَرْيَهُ حَتَّى رَوِيَ النَّاسُ وَضَرَبُوا الْعَطَنَ
tabāraka wataʿālā yaghfiru lah thumma jāʾa ʿumaru fāstaqā fāstaḥālat gharban falam ara ʿabqariyyan mina an-nāsi yafrī faryah ḥattā rawiya an-nāsu waḍarabūā al-ʿaṭana

The full narration
Abdullah b. 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:I saw (in a dream) as if I was drawing water with a leathern bucket on a wooden pulley. There came Abu Bakr and he drew out a bucketful or two and as he drew out, some weakness (was perceived in it) (may Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, forgive him). Then Umar came in order to serve water -and the bucket was changed into a large leather bucket and I did not see such a wonderful man amongst persons (drawing water) and he went on serving water to the people until they were fully satisfied and then went to their resting places
