It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, a woman said, "Uthman! Congratulations to you for Paradise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked angrily towards that woman and said, "How do you know?" She replied, "O Messenger of Allah! He was your horseman and companion (so after death, he will surely go to Paradise)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By Allah! Even though I am the Messenger of Allah, I do not know what will happen to me." Hearing this, people became fearful about Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him), but when the eldest daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), passed away, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Go and join our best predecessor, Uthman bin Maz'un," (by which his being in Paradise was established). At this, the women began to weep, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) started beating them with a whip. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of his hand and said, "Umar! Stop." Then he said to the women, "You are allowed to weep, but protect yourselves from the wailing and shrieking of Satan." Then he said, "As long as it is a matter of the eye and the heart, it is from Allah and is a mercy, but when it reaches the hand and the tongue, then it is from Satan."
