Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) states: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shook hands with him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not withdraw his hand from the man's hand until the man himself withdrew his hand. Then the man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) has come." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is a man from the people of Paradise."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its chain is hasan (good).
