Imam Malik said: When Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, his body lay for three days on the refuse heap of such-and-such a tribe. Then twelve men came to him, among them my grandfather Malik bin Abi Amir, Huwaytib bin Abd al-Uzza, Hakim bin Hizam, Abdullah bin al-Zubayr, and Aishah bint Uthman was also with them, carrying a lamp in a small box. They carried his body upon a door, and his head was knocking "tak tak" against the door (panel), until they brought him to al-Baqi'. Then they differed over leading his funeral prayer, so Hakim bin Hizam or Huwaytib bin Abd al-Uzza led his funeral prayer (Abd al-Rahman was in doubt about this). Then they intended to bury him, whereupon a man from Banu Mazin stood up and said: By Allah! If you bury him alongside the Muslims, I will inform the people of it. So they carried him and brought him to Hashsh Kawkab. When they lowered him into his grave, Aishah bint Uthman cried out, and Ibn al-Zubayr said to her: Be quiet! By Allah, if you do it again, I will strike the place where your eyes are. When they had buried him and levelled the earth over him, Ibn al-Zubayr said to her: Now cry out as much as you wish.
Imam Malik said: Before that, Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pass by Hashsh Kawkab and say: A righteous man will surely be buried here.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Al-Hashsh" means a garden.
