Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakra reported,

I went with my father on a delegation to Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan. We were brought before him, and he said, "Abu Bakrah, narrate to me something you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be pleased with righteous dreams and would ask about them. One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Which of you has seen a dream?'A man said, 'I have, Messenger of Allah. I saw as though a scale was lowered from the sky. You were weighed against Abu Bakr, and you outweighed Abu Bakr . Then Abu Bakr was weighed against Umar , and Abu Bakr outweighed Umar. Then Umar was weighed against Uthman , and Umar outweighed Uthman . Then the scale was lifted up.'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was displeased by this and said, 'A caliphate of prophethood, then Allah grants the kingdom to whom He wills.'"My father said, Affan said in his version, "He was displeased by it," and Hammad said, "That grieved him."

حدثنا عبد الصمد حدثنا حماد يعني ابن سلمة حدثنا علي بن زيد

عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي بكرة قال

وفدت مع أبي إلى معاوية بن أبي سفيان فأدخلنا عليه فقال يا أبا بكرة حدثني بشيء سمعته من رسول الله ﷺ فقال كان رسول الله ﷺ يعجبه الرؤيا الصالحة ويسأل عنها فقال رسول الله ﷺ ذات يوم أيكم رأى رؤيا فقال رجل أنا يا رسول الله رأيت كأن ميزانا دلي من السماء فوزنت أنت بأبي بكر فرجحت بأبي بكر رضي الله تعالى عنه ثم وزن أبو بكر رضي الله عنه بعمر رضي الله عنه فرجح أبو بكر بعمر ثم وزن عمر بعثمان رضي الله تعالى عنه فرجح عمر بعثمان رضي الله عنهم ثم رفع الميزان فاستاء لها رسول الله ﷺ فقال خلافة نبوة ثم يؤتي الله تبارك وتعالى الملك من يشاء قال أبي قال عفان فيه فاستاء لها قال وقال حماد فساءه ذلك
