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.' "
