It is narrated from Abu Saeed Muslim that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) freed twenty slaves and sent for trousers and wore them. Before this, he had never worn trousers either during the time of ignorance or after accepting Islam. Then he said: Last night I saw in a dream the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). They said to me: Be patient, tomorrow night you will break your fast with us. After this, he sent for a copy of the Holy Qur'an and opened it in front of himself, and then he was martyred in such a state that the Qur'an was open in front of him.
