Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34130 — Reports on Abu Bakr al-Siddiq

Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Two men mentioned Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and one of them said: "He was martyred." The other seized him, brought him to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Indeed, this man claims that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred!" He said: "Did you say that?" The man said: "Yes. Do you not remember the day when I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them) were with him (peace and blessings be upon him)? I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to me. I asked Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and he too gave to me. I asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and he too gave to me. I asked Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and he too gave to me. Then I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), supplicate for me that Allah may grant me blessing.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Why would you not be blessed, when a prophet, a truthful one and two martyrs have given to you?'" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Leave him, leave him, leave him."
