Ameer al-Muʿmineen, ʿUthman felt sleepy and had a brief nap. When he woke up, he said: The people will certainly kill me. I said: No, in sha Allah it will not go that far: your people will only ask you for an explanation. He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in my dream, and Abu Bakr and ʿUmar, ؓ and they said: You will break your fast with us tonight.
نَعَسَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَغْفَى فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَقَالَ لَيَقْتُلَنَّنِي الْقَوْمُ قُلْتُ كَلا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ ذَاكَ إِنَّ رَعِيَّتَكَ اسْتَعْتَبُوكَ قَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِﷺفِي مَنَامِي وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَقَالُوا تُفْطِرُ عِنْدَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ
