Narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O Aish! This is Jibreel who is conveying greetings to you." She said: I replied, "Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon him as well." She said: You (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would see what I did not see.

Narrated from Sayyida Umm Kulthum bint Thumamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when she came to Makkah for Hajj, her brother Makharraq bin Thumamah said: Go to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and ask her about Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), because people among us talk a lot about him. She says: I went to her and said: Your son sends you greetings and asks about Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). She replied: Peace and Allah’s mercy be upon him as well. She said: I testify that I saw Uthman in this house. It was a hot night, and it was the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Jibreel Amin who brought revelation to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) on his arm or shoulder with his hand and say: “Uthm, write.” Whoever Allah grants such a status with His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he is certainly a person upon whom Allah is merciful. May Allah’s curse be upon the one who abuses Ibn Affan.
