Chapter 91: Interpretation of Dreams
Narrated Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit: Um Al-' Ala an Ansari woman who had given a pledge of allegiance to Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) told me: , "The
Muhajirln (emigrants) were distributed amongst us by drawing lots, and we got 'Uthman bin Maz' un
in our share. 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. Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) came, I
said, (addressing the dead body), 'O Aba As-Sa' ib! May Allah be Merciful to you! I testify that Allah
has honored you.' Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'How do you know that Allah has honored him?" I replied, 'Let
my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)! On whom else shall Allah bestow. His honor?'
Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'As for him, by Allah, death has come to him. By Allah, I wish him all good
(from Allah). By Allah, in spite of the fact that I am Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ), I do not know what Allah will do
to me.", Um Al-' Ala added, "By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that."
