Abu Abdullah Jasri says that once I was present in the service of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and Hazrat Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) was also present with her. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to me, "This is Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), the honorable wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then, turning to her, she said, "I ask you by oath, if I say something wrong, do not confirm me, and if I say something right, do not deny me. Do you remember that once you and I were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell unconscious? I asked you, 'Do you think the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has passed away?' You said, 'I do not know.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regained consciousness and said, 'Open the door.' I asked you, 'Has my father come or yours?' You replied, 'I do not know.' We opened the door and there stood Hazrat Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), seeing him, said, 'Come near me.' He leaned over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) whispered something to him, which neither you nor I know. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and said, 'Did you understand what I said?' Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, 'Yes.' Three times this whispering and questioning happened, and after that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, 'Now you may go.' Hazrat Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) said, 'By Allah, it is exactly as you said, and this is true.'"
