Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Last night (in a dream) a righteous man was shown to me, that Abu Bakr is with the Messenger of Allah, and Umar is with Abu Bakr, and Uthman is with Umar." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When we got up from the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), we said: The righteous man must be the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), but as for the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioning that each of them was with the other, this must be a matter of leadership with which Allah Almighty sent His Prophet.
