[Machine] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the courtyard of his house in Mecca, Uthman ibn Mazh'un passed by. He approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to him, "Why don't you sit?" He said, "Yes, I will sit." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat facing him. While he was talking to him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his gaze to the sky and then looked at it for a while. He then lowered his gaze until he placed it on his right in the ground. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ shifted his position from his companion Uthman to where he had placed his gaze, and he lowered his head as if he was listening carefully to what was being said to him. Ibn Mazh'un looked, and when he had fulfilled his need and heard what he was being told, the gaze of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards the sky again as he had done before. He followed the gaze until it disappeared into the sky, then he turned to Uthman in his initial position and said, "O Muhammad, where was I when I used to sit with you and come to you in the morning and see you doing what you did?" He said, "What did you see me do?" He said, "I saw you raise your gaze to the sky with your eyes and then you placed it where you had placed it on your right, and you turned towards it and left me. Then, you started to lower your head as if you were trying to understand something being said to you." He said, "And did you notice that?" Uthman said, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me suddenly while you were sitting." He said, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say anything to you?" He said, "Yes." He asked, "What did he say?" He said, "{Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.}" [Surah An-Nahl: 90]. Uthman said, "That is when faith settled in my heart and I loved Muhammad."
