Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 109 — When evening came upon us, I said: If you

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ نَجْدَةَ الْحَوْطِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الرَّحَبِيُّ، ثنا سَهْمُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ - وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ قَتْلَ عُثْمَانَ - قَالَ: " فَلَمَّا أَمْسَيْنَا قُلْتُ: لَئِنْ تَرَكْتُمْ صَاحِبَكُمْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ مَثَّلُوا بِهِ، فَانْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَأَمْكَنَّا لَهُ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ حَمَلْنَاهُ وَغَشِيَنَا سَوَادٌ مِنْ خَلْفِنَا، فَهِبْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى كِدْنَا أَنَّ نَتَفَرَّقَ عَنْهُ، فَنَادَى مُنَادٍ: لَا رَوْعَ عَلَيْكُمْ، اثْبُتُوا، فَإِنَّا قَدْ جِئْنَا لِنَشْهَدَهُ مَعَكُمْ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ حُبَيْشٍ يَقُولُ: هُمْ وَاللهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ "
Sahm bin Hubaysh, who was present at the killing of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), said: When evening came upon us, I said: If you leave your companion ('s body) like this until morning, the people will mutilate him. So take him to Baqi' al-Gharqad. So we prepared a place (for the grave) for him in the middle of the night. Then we carried him, and a dark mass (a crowd of people) appeared behind us. We became afraid of them, until we were about to scatter, but a caller called out: Have no fear, stand firm; we have only come to take part in this burial with you. Ibn Hubaysh used to say: By Allah! They were the angels.
