It is narrated from Kathir bin al-Salt that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) slept on the day on which he was martyred, and it was a Friday. When he woke up, he said: "Were it not that I fear people would say that Uthman merely related a wish or a fancy of dreams, I would certainly tell you a hadith." We submitted: "May Allah set your affairs right! Tell us that matter; we will never say what people say." He said: "Just now, in this sleep of mine, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'Indeed, you will be present with us at the Friday (prayer) today.'"
Imam Abu Ya'la narrated it in his Musnad; Imam al-Bazzar also recorded it through Muhammad bin al-Muthanna, al-Mughirah bin Maslamah, Wuhayb, Musa and Abu Alqamah, and Imam al-Hakim also recorded it.
