حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

إِنِّي رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ أَنْزِعُ بِدَلْوٍ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ بِهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ فِيهِمَا ضَعْفٌ، وَاللهُ يَرْحَمُهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ، فَإِنْ بَرِحَ يَنْزِعُ حَتَّى اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَتْ بِعَطَنٍ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَزْعِ عَبْقَرِيٍّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ نَزْعِ عُمَرَ

✧ I saw myself at a well drawing water with a bucket. Then Abu Bakr took it and drew one or two buckets, with some weakness, and may Allah have mercy on him. Then Umar took it, and he kept drawing until it became a large bucket, and then it hit the watering trough. I have never seen a mighty man draw water better than Umar drew.

  • Qurṭubī

    و قوله ذنوبا أو ذنوبين هو شك من بعض الرواة وقد جاء بغير شك ذنوبين في الرواية الأخرى وهي أحسن

    machine translationHis saying "a bucket (dhanūb) or two buckets" is a doubt on the part of one of the narrators. It has come without doubt as "two buckets" in the other narration, and that is better.
