حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أُمِّ الْعَلَائِ وَهِيَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ بَايَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ طَارَ لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فِي السُّکْنَی حِينَ اقْتَرَعَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ عَلَی سُکْنَی الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَاشْتَکَی فَمَرَّضْنَاهُ حَتَّی تُوُفِّيَ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْکَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ فَشَهَادَتِي عَلَيْکَ لَقَدْ أَکْرَمَکَ اللَّهُ قَالَ وَمَا يُدْرِيکِ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ قَالَ أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَائَهُ الْيَقِينُ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو لَهُ الْخَيْرَ مِنْ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلَا بِکُمْ قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْعَلَائِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا أُزَکِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ قَالَتْ وَرَأَيْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ فِي النَّوْمِ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرْتُ ذَلِکَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ذَاکِ عَمَلُهُ يَجْرِي لَهُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7018
Narrated Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit: Um Al-`Ala an Ansari woman who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle said, "`Uthman bin Maz'un came in our share when the Ansars drew lots to distribute the emigrants (to dwell) among themselves, He became sick and we looked after (nursed) him till he died. Then we shrouded him in his clothes. Allah's Apostle came to us, I (addressing the dead body) said, "May Allah's Mercy be on you, O Aba As-Sa'ib! I testify that Allah has honored you." The Prophet said, 'How do you know that?' I replied, 'I do not know, by Allah.' He said, 'As for him, death has come to him and I wish him all good from Allah. By Allah, though I am Allah's Apostle, I neither know what will happen to me, nor to you.'" Um Al-`Ala said, "By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that." She added, "Later I saw in a dream, a flowing spring for `Uthman. So I went to Allah's Apostle and mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is (the symbol of) his good deeds (the reward for) which is going on for him.' "
