وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أُسَيْدٍ ، وَرَجُلٍ آخَرَ سَمَّاهُ ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي نَائِلَةُ بِنْتُ الْفُرَافِصَةِ الْكَلْبِيَّةُ امْرَأَةُ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَتْ : لَمَّا حُوصِرَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ظَلَّ يَوْمَهُ صَائِمًا ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْإِفْطَارِ سَأَلَهُمُ الْمَاءَ الْعَذْبَ ، فَقَالُوا : دُونَكَ هَذَا الرَّكِيَّ ، وَإِذَا رَكِيٌّ يُلْقَى فِيهَا النَّتَنُ ، فَبَاتَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى حَالِهِ لَمْ يَطْعَمْ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ ، أَتَيْتُ جَارَةً لَنَا عَلَى أَحَاجِينَ يَعْنِي : أَسْطِحَةً مُتَوَاصِلَةً ، فَسَأَلْتُهُمُ الْمَاءَ الْعَذْبَ ، فَجِئْتُهُ بِكُوزٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلْتُ إِذَا هُوَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ نَائِمٌ فِي أَسْفَلِ الدَّرَجَةِ يَغِطُّ ، فَأَيْقَظْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : هَذَا مَاءٌ عَذْبٌ قَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ بِهِ ، فَرَفَعَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ رَأْسَهُ ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي صَائِمٌ أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا ، فَقُلْتُ : وَمِنْ أَيْنَ ، وَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا أَتَاكَ بِطَعَامٍ وَلَا شَرَابٍ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ اطَّلَعَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ هَذَا السَّقْفِ ، وَمَعَهُ دَلْوٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ ، فَقَالَ : اشْرَبْ يَا عُثْمَانُ ، فَشَرِبْتُ ، فَرَوِيتُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ازْدَدْ ، فَشَرِبْتُ حَتَّى تَمَلَّأْتُ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ سَيُنْكِرُونَ عَلَيْكَ ، فَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُمْ أَفْطَرْتَ عِنْدَنَا ، قَالَتْ : فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ، فَقَتَلُوهُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the honoured wife of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyidah Na'ilah bint al-Furafisah al-Kalbiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), stated: When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged, he spent the whole day fasting. When the time of iftar came, he asked them (the besiegers) for sweet, pleasant water to drink, but, showing hard-heartedness, they replied: "This well is for you," and it was a well into which filth and foul-smelling things were thrown. So he spent that entire night in that painful state and ate nothing. When it was the time of sahar, I went over the roofs that were joined to one another to a neighbour of ours and asked them for sweet water. Then I came to him with water in a jug. When I came down, I saw that he (may Allah be pleased with him) was in deep sleep at the lower part of the stairs and the sound of his snoring could be heard. I woke him and said: "This is sweet water that I have brought for you." He (may Allah be pleased with him) raised his head, looked towards the break of dawn and said: "I am fasting; I have made the intention to fast." I asked in astonishment: "How so? I did not see anyone bring you food or drink." He said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appeared to me from this roof, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) had a bucket of water. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'O Uthman! Drink.' So I drank until I was quenched. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Drink more.' So I drank again until I was full. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'These people will attack you and reject you; so if you endure their aggression (and are martyred), you will break your fast with us.'" Sayyidah Na'ilah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Then that very day the rebels forcibly entered upon him and martyred him.
Imam Ahmad bin Mani' narrated this narration in his Musnad. There is criticism of a narrator in its chain named Yahya bin Abi Rashid; however, other supporting evidence for this true dream before the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) exists in the books of sirah and history.
