(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ هِلَالٍ ابْنَةِ وَكِيعٍ ، عَنْ نَائِلَةَ بِنْتِ الْفَرَافِصَةِ امْرَأَةِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، قَالَتْ : " نَعَسَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَغْفَى ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ ، فَقَالَ : لَيَقْتُلَنَّنِي الْقَوْمُ ، قُلْتُ : كَلَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، لَمْ يَبْلُغْ ذَاكَ ، إِنَّ رَعِيَّتَكَ اسْتَعْتَبُوكَ ، قَالَ : إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَنَامِي ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ ، فَقَالُوا : " تُفْطِرُ عِنْدَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ " .
Lady Nailah bint al-Farafisah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), says that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) dozed off and slept lightly. After a short while, he became alert and said, "These people will certainly kill me." I tried to reassure him, saying, "InshaAllah, this will never happen; things have not reached that point yet. Your subjects are only slightly displeased with you." He replied, "No! I have just seen the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the two Shaykhs (Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them) in a dream. They were telling me that tonight you will break your fast with us."
