al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 4438

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he had prayed the morning prayer, would turn to his companions and say, “Which of you saw a dream last night?” One day he prayed and then said, “Which of you saw a dream?” A man said, “I did, O Messenger of Allah. I saw as if a balance was let down from the sky, and you were placed in one pan and Abu Bakr in the other, and you outweighed Abu Bakr. Then you were raised and Abu Bakr was left in his place. Then Umar b. al-Khattab was brought and placed in the other pan, and Abu Bakr outweighed him. Then Abu Bakr was raised and Uthman was brought and placed in the other pan, and Umar outweighed Uthman. Then Umar and Uthman were raised and the balance was raised.” He said, “Then the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed, and he said, ‘The caliphate of prophethood is thirty years, then it will become kingship.’” Saʿid b. Jumhan said: Safinah said to me, “Hold fast: two years of Abu Bakr, ten of Umar, twelve of Uthman, and six of Ali, all together.” These transmissions have been narrated with a sound chain elevated to the Prophet ﷺ. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the Talkhis.
