Hadith 3929

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، أَنَّ أُمَّ الْعَلَاءِ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ بَايَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ طَارَ لَهُمْ فِي السُّكْنَى حِينَ اقْتَرَعَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ عَلَى سُكْنَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْعَلَاءِ : فَاشْتَكَى عُثْمَانُ عِنْدَنَا , فَمَرَّضْتُهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ , فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ شَهَادَتِي عَلَيْكَ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَكْرَمَهُ " ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : لَا أَدْرِي بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ ، قَالَ : " أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ وَاللَّهِ الْيَقِينُ وَاللَّهِ , إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو لَهُ الْخَيْرَ وَمَا أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّه مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي " ، قَالَتْ : فَوَاللَّهِ لَا أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَحْزَنَنِي ذَلِكَ فَنِمْتُ فَرِيتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي , فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " ذَلِكِ عَمَلُهُ " .
Narrated 'Um Al-`Ala: An Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet that the Ansar drew lots concerning the dwelling of the Emigrants. `Uthman bin Maz'un was decided to dwell with them (i.e. Um Al-`Ala's family), `Uthman fell ill and I nursed him till he died, and we covered him with his clothes. Then the Prophet came to us and I (addressing the dead body) said, "O Abu As-Sa'ib, may Allah's Mercy be on you! I bear witness that Allah has honored you." On that the Prophet said, "How do you know that Allah has honored him?" I replied, "I do not know. May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle! But who else is worthy of it (if not `Uthman)?" He said, "As to him, by Allah, death has overtaken him, and I hope the best for him. By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me," By Allah, I will never assert the piety of anyone after him. That made me sad, and when I slept I saw in a dream a flowing stream for `Uthman bin Maz'un. I went to Allah's Apostle and told him of it. He remarked, "That symbolizes his (good) deeds."
