Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) expressed a wish, saying: "I wish some of my Companions were with me so that we could talk together." Upon this Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Shall I send for (Sayyiduna) Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) so that he may talk with you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." Then Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Shall I send for (Sayyiduna) Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) so that he may talk with you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No. Rather, I will send for (Sayyiduna) Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)." So Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and when he entered, the two Mothers of the Believers stood up and let down the curtain. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "You will certainly be killed and attain the rank of martyrdom, so be patient, may Allah grant you beautiful patience. And do not ever take off the shirt (of the caliphate) with which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has clothed you for twelve years and six months, until you meet Allah Almighty while He is fully pleased with you." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for patience for me in these words: 'Allahumma sabbirhu' (O Allah, grant him patience). Then, when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) departed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said after he had turned his back: "May Allah grant you patience and steadfastness, for you will certainly be martyred, and you will die while you are fasting, and you will break your fast with me."
