حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ کَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ ذَکَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ رَأْسُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَی الْهُدَی فَوَثَبْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِضَبْعَيْ عُثْمَانَ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا قَالَ هَذَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 111
It was narrated that Ka’b bin Ujrah said: “The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H mentioned a Fitnah (tribulation) that had drawn nigh.Then a man passed by with his head covered. The Messenger of Allah s.a.w.w said: ‘On that day, this man will be following right guidance.’ I leapt up and took hold of ‘Uthmán’s arms, then I turned to face the Messenger of Allah and said: ‘This man?’ He said: ‘This man.” (Sahih)
