The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned a tribulation and described it as imminent. A man passed by with his head covered, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This man will be upon guidance on that day."I jumped up and grabbed Uthman by his upper arms, then turned to face the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked, "This one?"He replied, "This one."
حدثنا علي بن محمد حدثنا عبد الله بن إدريس عن هشام بن حسان عن محمد بن سيرين
ذكر رسول الله ﷺ فتنة فقربها فمر رجل مقنع رأسه فقال رسول الله ﷺ هذا يومئذ على الهدى فوثبت فأخذت بضبعي عثمان ثم استقبلت رسول الله ﷺ فقلت هذا قال هذا
[Sahih] Ahmad narrated it: 4/243, from the hadith of Hisham with this wording, and Matar Warraq corroborated him, in Ahmad: 4/242. Busiri said, this isnad is disconnected. Abu Hatim said, Muhammad bin Sirin did not hear from Kaab bin Ujra. It has corroborating narrations in Tirmidhi, hadith 3704, and elsewhere.
