Shall wecall Abu Bakr for you?’ But here mained silent. We said: ‘Shall we call ‘Umar for you?’ But he remained silent. We said: ‘Shall we call Uthman for you? He said: ‘Yes: So ‘Uthman came and he spoke to him in private. The Prophet s.a.w.w. started to speak to him and ‘Uthman’s expression changed.” Qais said: “Abu Sahlah, the freed slave of Uthman narrated to me that the Day of the House, Uthirian bin ‘Affân said: ‘The Messenger of Allah s.a.w.w told me what would come to pass and now I am coming that day.”
