Kharijah bin Zaid narrates from his mother, Sayyidah Umm al-‘Ala’ (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: When Sayyiduna ‘Uthman bin Maz‘un (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, I said:“O Abu Sa’ib! Congratulations to you, your days of life were spent well.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard this and said:“Who is the one saying this?”Sayyidah Umm al-‘Ala’ (may Allah be pleased with her) replied:“It is I.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“How do you know this?”I replied:“O Messenger of Allah! I said this about Sayyiduna ‘Uthman bin Maz‘un (such a great and noble person).”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Yes, indeed, we found ‘Uthman bin Maz‘un to be excellent in every way, but remember, even though I am Allah’s Messenger, I do not know what will happen to me tomorrow.”
