7018. Narrated Khārija bin Zaid bin Thābit: Umm Al-'Alā', an Anṣārī woman who had given the Bai'a (pledge) to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, " 'Uthmān bin Maz'ūn came in our share when the Anṣār drew lots to distribute the emigrants (to dwell) among themselves. He became sick and we looked after (nursed) him till he died. Then we shrouded him in his clothes. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to us, I (addressing the dead body) said, 'May Allāh be Merciful to you, O Abā As-Sā'ib! I testify that Allāh has honoured you.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'How do you know that Allāh has honoured him?' I replied, 'I do not know, by Allāh.' He said, 'As for him, death has come to him and I wish him all good from Allāh. By Allāh, though I am Allāh's Messenger, I neither know what will happen to me(1) nor to you.' Umm Al-'Alā' added, "By Allāh, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that." She added, "Later I saw in a dream, a flowing spring for 'Uthmān. So I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is (the symbol of) his good deeds (the reward for) which is going on for him.'"

7018 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ العَلاَءِ، وَهِيَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ، بَايَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: طَارَ لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فِي السُّكْنَى، حِينَ اقْتَرَعَتْ الأَنْصَارُ عَلَى سُكْنَى المُهَاجِرِينَ، فَاشْتَكَى فَمَرَّضْنَاهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ، ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ، فَشَهَادَتِي عَلَيْكَ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ، قَالَ: «وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ» قُلْتُ: لاَ أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ، قَالَ: «أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ اليَقِينُ، إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو لَهُ الخَيْرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي - وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلاَ بِكُمْ» قَالَتْ أُمُّ العَلاَءِ: فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ، قَالَتْ: وَرَأَيْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ فِي النَّوْمِ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي، فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «ذَاكِ عَمَلُهُ يَجْرِي لَهُ»
