حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يُقَبِّلُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ . حتَّى رَأَيْتُ الدُّمُوعَ تَسِيلُ " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he kissed Uthman ibn Maz'un while he was dead, and I saw that tears were flowing (from his eyes).

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Hazrat Uthman bin Maz'oon was among the eminent Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'een). Before him, only thirteen individuals had embraced Islam. He was honored with both the migration to Abyssinia and the migration to Madinah. He also participated in the Battle of Badr. Nawab Waheed uz-Zaman Khan has written that Hazrat Uthman bin Maz'oon was also a milk-brother of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
➋
Weeping and shedding tears due to grief is not contrary to patience. Rather, it is a sign of mercy and tenderness of heart.
➌
The aforementioned narration is weak in its chain of transmission. Kissing the deceased is not established from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam); however, Hazrat Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (radi Allahu anhu) kissed the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) after his passing, as will be mentioned in the following narration.
