Umm Al-'Ala an Ansari woman who gave the (Bai'a) pledge to the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, The emigrants were distributed amongst us by drawing lots and we got in our share ' Uthmân bin Maz'ûn. 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, Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) came and I said, 'May Allâh be Merciful to you, O As-Sâ'ib ! My testimony is that Allâh has honoured you'. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'How do you know that Allâh has honoured him? ' I replied. O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father be sacrificed for you ! On whom else shall Allâh bestow His Honour? ' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'No doubt, death came to him. By Allâh, I too wish him good, but by Allâh, I do not know what Allâh will do with me though I am Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ). ' She said, "By Allâh, I will never attest the piety of anyone after that. ' " [2:336-O.B.]
