Um Al-ʿAla', an Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ said to me, "The emigrants were distributed amongst us by drawing lots and we got in our share ʿUthman bin Maz'un. We made him stay with us in our house. Then he suffered from a disease which proved fatal when he died and was given a bath and was shrouded in his clothes, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came I said, 'May Allah be merciful to you, O Abu As-Sa'ib! I testify that Allah has honored you'. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'How do you know that Allah has honored him?' I replied, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let my father be sacrificed for you! On whom else shall Allah bestow His honor?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'No doubt, death came to him. By Allah, I too wish him good, but by Allah, I do not know what Allah will do with me though I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ' By Allah, I never attested the piety of anyone after that." Al-Laith also narrated as above.  

أَنَّ أُمَّ الْعَلاَءِ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ بَايَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهُ اقْتُسِمَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ قُرْعَةً فَطَارَ لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فَأَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي أَبْيَاتِنَا فَوَجِعَ وَجَعَهُ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ وَغُسِّلَ وَكُفِّنَ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ فَشَهَادَتِي عَلَيْكَ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَكْرَمَهُ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ يُكْرِمُهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ الْيَقِينُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو لَهُ الْخَيْرَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي قَالَتْ فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ مِثْلَهُ وَقَالَ نَافِعُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِهِ وَتَابَعَهُ شُعَيْبٌ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ وَمَعْمَرٌ  

That when the Ansar drew lots as to which of the emigrants should dwell with which of the Ansar, the name of ʿUthman bin Mazun came out (to be in their lot). Um Al-Ala further said, "Uthman stayed with us, and we nursed him when he got sick, but he died. We shrouded him in his clothes, and Allah's Apostle came to our house and I said, (addressing the dead ʿUthman), 'O Abu As-Sa'ib! May Allah be merciful to you. I testify that Allah has blessed you.' The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "How do you know that Allah has blessed him?" I replied, 'I do not know O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! May my parents be sacrificed for you.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'As regards ʿUthman, by Allah he has died and I really wish him every good, yet, by Allah, although I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I do not know what will be done to him.' Um Al- Ala added, 'By Allah I shall never attest the piety of anybody after him. And what Messenger of Allah ﷺs said made me sad." Um Al-Ala further said, "Once I slept and saw in a dream, a flowing stream for ʿUthman. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about it, he said, 'That is (the symbol of) his deeds."  

أَنَّ أُمَّ الْعَلاَءِ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ قَدْ بَايَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ طَارَ لَهُ سَهْمُهُ فِي السُّكْنَى حِينَ أَقْرَعَتِ الأَنْصَارُ سُكْنَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْعَلاَءِ فَسَكَنَ عِنْدَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فَاشْتَكَى فَمَرَّضْنَاهُ حَتَّى إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي ثِيَابِهِ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ فَشَهَادَتِي عَلَيْكَ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَكْرَمَهُ فَقُلْتُ لاَ أَدْرِي بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَّا عُثْمَانُ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ وَاللَّهِ الْيَقِينُ وَإِنِّي لأَرْجُو لَهُ الْخَيْرَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي قَالَتْ فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا وَأَحْزَنَنِي ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ فَنِمْتُ فَأُرِيتُ لِعُثْمَانَ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ عَمَلُهُ  

An Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ that the Ansar drew lots concerning the dwelling of the Emigrants. ʿUthman bin Maz'un was decided to dwell with them (i.e. Um Al-ʿAla's family), ʿUthman fell ill and I nursed him till he died, and we covered him with his clothes. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to us and I (addressing the dead body) said, "O Abu As-Sa'ib, may Allah's Mercy be on you! I bear witness that Allah has honored you." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "How do you know that Allah has honored him?" I replied, "I do not know. May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! But who else is worthy of it (if not ʿUthman)?" He said, "As to him, by Allah, death has overtaken him, and I hope the best for him. By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me," By Allah, I will never assert the piety of anyone after him. That made me sad, and when I slept I saw in a dream a flowing stream for ʿUthman bin Maz'un. I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him of it. He remarked, "That symbolizes his (good) deeds."  

أَنَّ أُمَّ الْعَلاَءِ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ بَايَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ طَارَ لَهُمْ فِي السُّكْنَى حِينَ اقْتَرَعَتِ الأَنْصَارُ عَلَى سُكْنَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْعَلاَءِ فَاشْتَكَى عُثْمَانُ عِنْدَنَا فَمَرَّضْتُهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ شَهَادَتِي عَلَيْكَ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَكْرَمَهُ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ لاَ أَدْرِي بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ قَالَ أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ وَاللَّهِ الْيَقِينُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو لَهُ الْخَيْرَ وَمَا أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي قَالَتْ فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ قَالَتْ فَأَحْزَنَنِي ذَلِكَ فَنِمْتُ فَأُرِيتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ عَمَلُهُ  

Um Al-ʿAla an Ansari woman who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "ʿUthman bin Maz'un came in our share when the Ansars drew lots to distribute the emigrants (to dwell) among themselves, He became sick and we looked after (nursed) him till he died. Then we shrouded him in his clothes. Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, I (addressing the dead body) said, "May Allah's Mercy be on you, O Aba As-Sa'ib! I testify that Allah has honored you." The Prophet ﷺ said, 'How do you know that?' I replied, 'I do not know, by Allah.' He said, 'As for him, death has come to him and I wish him all good from Allah. By Allah, though I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I neither know what will happen to me, nor to you.'" Um Al-ʿAla said, "By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that." She added, "Later I saw in a dream, a flowing spring for ʿUthman. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is (the symbol of) his good deeds (the reward for) which is going on for him.' "

[Machine] About Umm Al-Alaa, the Ansari woman who gave her allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , she said: "Uthman ibn Mazh'un used to attend social gatherings with us when the Ansar and Muhajireen would meet. She said, "Then he fell sick, so we took care of him until he passed away. We shrouded him in his burial clothes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered, and I said, "May Allah have mercy on you, Abu Saa'ib." I bear witness that Allah has honored you. The Prophet ﷺ said, "What makes you say that?" She said, "I don't know, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "As for him, certainty has approached him, and I hope for him good from Allah." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse: "Say (O Muhammad): 'I am not a new thing (among the Messengers), and I do not know what will be done with me or with you..." (Quran 46:9). Umm Al-Alaa said, "By Allah, I will never praise anyone after him." Umm Al-Alaa said, "I saw a tear running from Uthman's eye while he was asleep. So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned it to him. He said, "That is due to his action."  

عَنْ أُمِّ الْعَلَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ وَقَدْ كَانَتْ بَايَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ طَارَ لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فِي السُّكْنَى حِينَ أَقْرَعَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ عَلَى سُكْنَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالَتْ فَاشْتَكَى فَمَرَّضْنَاهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ حَتَّى جَعَلْنَاهُ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ أَبَا السَّائِبِ فَشَهَادَتِي أَنْ قَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ؟» قَالَتْ لَا أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ الْيَقِينُ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو لَهُ الْخَيْرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ» ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {قُلْ مَا كُنْتُ بِدَعًا مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلَا بِكُمْ} [الأحقاف 9] قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْعَلَاءِ وَاللَّهِ لَا أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْعَلَاءِ وَرَأَيْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ فِي النَّوْمِ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي لَهُ فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «ذَاكَ عَمَلُهُ يَجْرِي لَهُ»
