[Machine] When the death of Uthman came to Abdullah, he wept. It was said to him, "Why do you weep?" He said, "He (Uthman) was my brother by lineage and my companion with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And I did not want to outlive him, as I wanted him to consider me more beloved to him than if I were to die and he considered me (worthy of reward)."  

الطبراني:٨٨٩٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ ثنا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَوْنٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا أَتَتْ عَبْدَ اللهِ وَفَاةُ عُتْبَةَ بَكَى فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَبْكِي؟ قَالَ «كَانَ أَخِي فِي النَّسَبِ وَصَاحِبِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا أُحِبُّ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ قَبْلَهُ لِأَنْ يَمُوتَ فَأَحْتَسِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَمُوتَ فَيَحْتَسِبَنِي»
