Umm Ala, a woman from the Ansar who had pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, reported that when the Ansar drew lots to determine which of the Muhajirun would lodge with each of them, Uthman bin Mazun fell to their household, so they took him into their home.He then fell ill with the sickness from which he died. When he passed away, he was washed and shrouded in his garments. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered, and I said, "May Allah's mercy be upon you, Abu Saaib. My testimony concerning you is that Allah has surely honored you."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "How do you know that Allah has honored him?"I said, "May my father be ransomed for you, Messenger of Allah, then whom would Allah honor?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for him, by Allah, certainty has come to him, and by Allah, I hope for good for him. But by Allah, though I am the Messenger of Allah, I do not know what will be done with me."She said, "By Allah, I will never declare anyone pure after this."
حدثنا سعيد بن عفير حدثني الليث حدثني عقيل عن ابن شهاب
أن أم العلاء امرأة من الأنصار بايعت رسول الله ﷺ أخبرته أنهم اقتسموا المهاجرين قرعة قالت فطار لنا عثمان بن مظعون وأنزلناه في أبياتنا فوجع وجعه الذي توفي فيه فلما توفي غسل وكفن في أثوابه دخل رسول الله ﷺ فقلت رحمة الله عليك أبا السائب فشهادتي عليك لقد أكرمك الله فقال رسول الله ﷺ وما يدريك أن الله أكرمه فقلت بأبي أنت يا رسول الله فمن يكرمه الله فقال رسول الله ﷺ أما هو فوالله لقد جاءه اليقين والله إني لأرجو له الخير و والله ما أدري وأنا رسول الله ماذا يفعل بي فقالت والله لا أزكي بعده أحدا أبدا
