3929. Narrated Khārijah bin Zaid bin Thābit: Umm Al-'Alā', an Anṣārī woman who gave the Bai'a (pledge) to the Prophet ﷺ informed me (saying): The Anṣār drew lots concerning the dwelling of the emigrants. We got in our share 'Uthmān bin Maẓ'ūn. 'Uthmān fell ill and I nursed him till he died, and we covered him with his clothes. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to us and I (addressing the dead body) said, "O Abū As-Sā'ib, may Allāh's Mercy be on you! I bear witness that Allāh has honoured you." On that the Prophet said, "How do you know that Allāh has honoured him?" I replied, "I do not know. May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allāh's Messenger! But who else is worthy of it (if not 'Uthmān)?" He said, "As to him, by Allāh, death has overtaken him, and I hope the best for him. By Allāh, though I am the Messenger of Allāh, yet I do not know what Allāh will do to me."(1) By Allāh, I will never assert the piety of anyone after him. That made me sad, and when I slept I saw in a dream a flowing stream for 'Uthmān bin Maẓūn. I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and told him of the dream. He remarked, "That symbolises his (good) deeds."

3929 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ أُمَّ العَلاَءِ، امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ، بَايَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ طَارَ لَهُمْ فِي السُّكْنَى، حِينَ اقْتَرَعَتِ الأَنْصَارُ عَلَى سُكْنَى المُهَاجِرِينَ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ العَلاَءِ: فَاشْتَكَى عُثْمَانُ عِنْدَنَا فَمَرَّضْتُهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ، وَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ، شَهَادَتِي عَلَيْكَ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَكْرَمَهُ»، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: لاَ أَدْرِي، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَمَنْ؟ قَالَ: «أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ وَاللَّهِ اليَقِينُ، وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو لَهُ الخَيْرَ، وَمَا أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي»، قَالَتْ: فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ، قَالَتْ: فَأَحْزَنَنِي ذَلِكَ، فَنِمْتُ، وفَرِيتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي، فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «ذَلِكِ عَمَلُهُ»

(1) (H. 3928) 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Aūf said to 'Umar, "So-and-so says, 'If 'Umar died (now) I would give the Bai'a (pledge) to so-and-so, as the pledge which was given to Abū Bakr was nothing but an unexpected event which happened to be fulfilled.'" 'Umar then became angry and said, "This evening I will deliver a Khutba (religious talk) before the people to warn them of such people who desire to usurp the right of their managing their own affairs." 'Abdur-Raḥmān then had to quieten 'Umar as is mentioned in the present Hadīth.
