"The Messenger of Allah mentioned a Fitnah (tribulation) that had drawn nigh. Then a man passed by with his head covered. The Messenger of Allah said: 'On that day, this man will be following right guidance.' I leapt up and took hold of 'Uthman's arms, then I turned to face the Messenger of Allah and said: 'This man?' He said: 'This man.'"  

ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ رَأْسُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدَى فَوَثَبْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِضَبْعَىْ عُثْمَانَ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا قَالَ هَذَا  

[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he mentioned a trial and drew it near. Then a man passed by wearing a turban, and he said, "This person today is upon guidance." He (the Prophet) said, "So I followed him until I held onto his two fingers, and I turned his face towards me and revealed his head, and I said, 'Is this you, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Yes, indeed, this is 'Uthman ibn 'Affan.'"  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُتَقَنِّعٌ فَقَالَ هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدَى قَالَ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِضَبْعَيْهِ فَحَوَّلْتُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Adversities will spread on the earth like the patches of a cow." A veiled man then passed by and said, "This is true for today." So, I approached him and held onto the edges of his garment and asked, "Is this him, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes, it is." Thus, it was Uthman.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُفْتَحُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فِتَنٌ كَصَيَاصِيِّ الْبَقَرِ» فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ فَقَالَ «هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْحَقِّ» فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَجَامِعِ ثَوْبِهِ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «هَذَا» قَالَ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ  

[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when he mentioned a trial, so he brought it closer. Then a masked man passed by and said, "This is the truth today." So, I stood up and held him by his two fingers, and I turned his face towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this him?" He said, "Yes." It was Uthman ibn Affan.  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ فَقَالَ «هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْحَقِّ» فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِضَبْعَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلْتُ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ
