Sahih Bukhari 7018

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْعَلَاءِ ، وَهِيَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ بَايَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : طَارَ لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فِي السُّكْنَى حِينَ اقْتَرَعَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ عَلَى سُكْنَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ، فَاشْتَكَى ، فَمَرَّضْنَاهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ ، ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ فَشَهَادَتِي عَلَيْكَ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ ، قَالَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ ؟ ، قُلْتُ : لَا أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ الْيَقِينُ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو لَهُ الْخَيْرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلَا بِكُمْ ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْعَلَاءِ : فَوَاللَّهِ لَا أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ ، قَالَتْ : وَرَأَيْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ فِي النَّوْمِ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي ، فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : ذَاكِ عَمَلُهُ يَجْرِي لَهُ .

Narrated Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit: Um Al-`Ala an Ansari woman who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle said, `Uthman 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. Allah's Apostle 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 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 Allah's Apostle, I neither know what will happen to me, nor to you.' Um Al-`Ala 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 `Uthman. So I went to Allah's Apostle and mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is (the symbol of) his good deeds (the reward for) which is going on for him.'
