Sahih al-Bukhari 2579 (Book 52, Hadith 48)
name of `Uthman bin Mazun came out (to be in their lot). Um Al-Ala further said, “Uthman stayed
with us, and we nursed him when he got sick, but he died. We shrouded him in his clothes, and Allah’s
Apostle came to our house and I said, (addressing the dead `Uthman), ‘O Abu As-Sa’ib! May Allah be
merciful to you. I testify that Allah has blessed you.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, “How do you know that
Allah has blessed him?” I replied, ‘I do not know O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! May my parents be sacrificed for
you.’ Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘As regards `Uthman, by Allah he has died and I really wish him every
good, yet, by Allah, although I am Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), I do not know what will be done to him.’ Um Al-
Ala added, ‘By Allah I shall never attest the piety of anybody after him. And what Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)s
said made me sad.” Um Al-Ala further said, “Once I slept and saw in a dream, a flowing stream for
`Uthman. So I went to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and told him about it, he said, ‘That is (the symbol of) his
deeds.”
