It is narrated from Aslam, he says: During the days when ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged, I was at the place where funeral prayers are offered, and the crowd of people was such that if a stone were thrown, it would hit someone’s head. I saw that ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) looked out from the hole in his house which is adjacent to the place of Jibril (peace be upon him). He said: O people! Is Talhah among you? The people remained silent. He said again: O people! Is Talhah among you? The people remained silent. Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said for the third time: O people! Is Talhah among you? Finally, Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up. Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Do I not see you among these people? I did not think that you would be among a group and I would call you three times and you would not answer? Talhah! Now I ask you by Allah, do you remember that one day you and I were at such-and-such a place with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and besides you and me, there was no other companion with him? Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes. Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to you: Talhah! Every Prophet will have a companion from his Ummah in Paradise who will be that Prophet’s companion, and this ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan will be my companion in Paradise. Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah is my witness, I remember. After that, Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) went back down.
