"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] If it weren't for a conversation I had heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I would not have stood up to hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention a calamity that will come close, and then a man passed by wearing fine clothes, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On that day, he and his companions will be upon the truth and guidance." So I said, "Is this so, O Messenger of Allah?" And I turned my face towards him, so he said, "Indeed, it is Uthman."  

لَوْلَا حَدِيثٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا قُمْتُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُتقَنَّعٌ فَقَالَ هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَالْهُدَى فَقُلْتُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ وَأَقْبَلْتُ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ هَذَا فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned a trial and emphasized its seriousness. Then a man with disheveled hair passed by, and he said, "This is the truth today," and I quickly followed him or said, "I caught up with him," and I held his thumb and said, "Is this you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "No, that is Uthman ibn Affan."  

ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا وَعَظَّمَهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُتَقَنِّعٌ فِي مِلْحَفَةٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْحَقِّ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مُسْرِعًا أَوْ قَالَ مُحْضِرًا فَأَخَذْتُ بِضَبْعَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ هَذَا فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ  

[Machine] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioning a trial that would cause poverty. Then, a masked man dressed in a garment passed by him. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'This person today is on the right guidance.' I approached him and behold, it was Uthman ibn Affan. I turned towards him and asked, 'Is it you?' He replied, 'Yes.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّ بِهَا فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ فِي ثَوْبٍ فَقَالَ «هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدَى» فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ فَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقُلْتُ هُوَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»  

[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  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was talking to us about trials when a masked man passed by and said, "On this day, he and his companions are on the right path." So, I stood up and followed him, then I removed the mask from his head and it was revealed to be Uthman ibn Affan. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this him?" He ﷺ said, "Yes."  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنِ الْفِتَنِ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ فَقَالَ «هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى الْهُدَى» فَقُمْتُ فَلَحِقْتُهُ فَكَشَفْتُ الْقِنَاعَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَإِذَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»  

"عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عَجْرَة قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رسولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَذكَرَ فَتْنَةً فَقَرَّبها ثُمَّ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُقْنَعُ الرَّأسِ فَقَالَ: وَهَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدى: أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ فَقُمتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فأَخَذْتُ بِعَضُدَيْهِ وأقْبَلْتُ بِوجْهِهِ إِلى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فإِذَا هُوَ عُثمانُ بنُ عَفَّانَ".
