Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Witnesses - 11th Dhul-Qa'da 1427 (3 December 2006) Narrated Um Al-Ala (Radhiallaho anha): That when the Ansar drew lots as to which of the emigrants should dwell with which of the Ansar, the name of Uthman bin Mazun (Radhiallaho anho) 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 Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 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 said to me, "How do you know that Allah has blessed him?" I replied, 'I do not know O Allah's Messenger! May my parents be sacrificed for you.' Allah's Messenger 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, 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 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 and told him about it, he said, 'That is (the symbol of) his deeds."
