Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34194 — Reports on the virtue of Uthman bin

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a tribulation and described it as very near. Then a man passed by whose head was covered with a sheet. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On that day this man and his group will be upon guidance." A man went after him, took him by the shoulder, turned his face toward the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: "This man?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes!" And he was Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).
