[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be a turmoil on the earth like the collapse of the ribbed bones of a cow." Then a man wearing a mask passed by and said, "This is Uthman bin Affan and his companions on that day will be upon guidance."  

الطبراني:١٧٩٤٨حَدَّثَنَا الْمِقْدَامُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو هِلَالٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْبَهْزِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَخْتَلَجُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فِتْنَةٌ كَصَيَاصِي الْبَقَرِ» فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ فَقَالَ «هَذَا وَأَصْحَابُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدَى» فَإِذَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Adversities will spread on the earth like the patches of a cow." A veiled man then passed by and said, "This is true for today." So, I approached him and held onto the edges of his garment and asked, "Is this him, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes, it is." Thus, it was Uthman.
