Hazrat Marrah Khareem narrates that one day we were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on one of the roads of Madinah when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What will you do in that tribulation which will spread over the land like the horns of a cow?" The companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then what should we do?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You must adhere to him and his companions." The narrator says: Upon hearing this, I quickly clung to that man and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this man?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes, him," and this person was Hazrat Uthman.
