Umm Ala, a woman from among them who had pledged allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ, reported that when the Ansar drew lots for housing the Muhajirun, Uthman bin Mazun's lot fell to them.Umm Ala said, "So Uthman bin Mazun came to live with us. He fell ill, and we nursed him until he died. We wrapped him in his garments, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in to us."She said, "I said, 'May Allah's mercy be upon you, Abu Saaib. My testimony concerning you is that Allah has honored you.'"The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "And how do you know that Allah has honored him?"I said, "I do not know, may my father and mother be ransomed for you, Messenger of Allah."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for Uthman, by Allah, certainty has come to him, and indeed I hope good for him. By Allah, though I am the Messenger of Allah, I do not know what will be done with him."She said, "By Allah, I will never declare anyone pure after this," and that grieved me.She said, "Then I slept, and I was shown in a dream a flowing spring for Uthman. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him, and he said, 'That is his deeds.'"
