Uthman bin Mazun was assigned to lodge with us when the Ansar drew lots over the housing of the Muhajirun. He fell ill, and we nursed him until he died. We then wrapped him in his shrouds, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in to us.I said, "May Allah have mercy on you, Abu Saaib. My testimony about you is that Allah has honored you."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "And how do you know that?"I said, "I do not know, by Allah."He said, "As for him, certainty has come to him, and I do hope for him goodness from Allah. But by Allah, even though I am the Messenger of Allah, I do not know what will be done with me or with you."Umm Ala said, "By Allah, I will never declare anyone pure after him."She said, "I saw in a dream a flowing spring belonging to Uthman, so I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him."He said, "That is his deeds flowing on for him."
