It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and shook hands with him (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not withdraw his hand from the man's hand until the man himself pulled his hand away. Then he said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) has come.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: '(He is) a man from the people of Paradise.'"
No one narrated this hadith from Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) except Rawh bin Salah (may Allah have mercy on him).
