It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once said: "Tonight, a righteous man saw in a dream that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr was weighed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then Sayyiduna Umar was weighed with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, then Sayyiduna Uthman was weighed with Sayyiduna Umar." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "When we got up and left from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we were saying among ourselves that the righteous man refers to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself, and as for the matter of weighing, it is an indication that they will be responsible for the matter of this religion which Allah has sent with His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
