It is narrated from Abdullah bin Adi bin Khiyar that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Nephew! Did you meet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: No, but the knowledge and certainty from him (peace and blessings be upon him) has reached me with such clarity as if something reaches a veiled woman even while she is behind her veil. Then he delivered a sermon, testified to the two declarations of faith, and then said: As for what follows! Surely Allah Almighty sent Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with the truth, and I was among those who accepted the word of Allah and His Messenger, and I believed in the religion with which Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent. Then I performed two migrations (one migration to Abyssinia and the second migration to Madinah), and I also had the honor of being the son-in-law of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah! I never disobeyed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), nor did I ever betray him, until Allah Almighty caused him to pass away.
