It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a tribulation. During that time, a man passed by there. Upon seeing him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In those days, this man, who is passing by covered in a cloth, will be killed in a state of oppression. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When I went and saw, that man was Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).
