هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ
كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ،
فَذَكَرَ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا ، فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُتَقَنِّعٌ ، فَقَالَ : " هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدَى " . قَالَ : فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِضَبْعَيْهِ ، فَحَوَّلْتُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَيْهِ ، وَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ ، وَقُلْتُ : هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فقَالَ : " نَعَمْ " . فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تعالى عَنْهُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once mentioned a tribulation. During this, a veiled man passed by. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him and said, "On that day, he and his companions will be upon the truth." I followed him, caught hold of his camel, turned its face towards the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and asked, "This man?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes!" When I looked, it was Hazrat Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him).
