It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were in a house in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and a group of the Muhajirun was also present there, among them Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Uthman, Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Talhah, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr, Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf and Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with them). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let every man rise and go to his equal (companion)." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself went to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and embraced him, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are my wali (close friend) in this world, and you are my wali in the Hereafter."
