It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked one day: "Has any of you seen a dream?" A man said: I have. It was as though a scale came down from the sky; you and Abu Bakr were weighed and you outweighed Abu Bakr; then Umar and Abu Bakr were weighed and Abu Bakr outweighed; then Umar and Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them both) were weighed and Umar outweighed; then the scale was lifted. (The narrator said:) Then I saw signs of displeasure on the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
