I went to `Uthman. After reciting Tashah-hud, he said,. "Then after no doubt, Allah sent Muhammad
with the Truth, and I was amongst those who responded to the Call of Allah and His Prophet and
believed in the message of Muhammad. Then took part in the two migrations. I became the son-in-law
of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and gave the pledge of allegiance to him By Allah, I never disobeyed him, nor did I
deceive him till Allah took him unto Him."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 152

When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got fever, and I went to both of them and
said, "O my father, how do you feel? O Bilal, how do you feel?" Whenever Abu Bakr's fever got
worse, he would say, "Every man will meet his death once in one morning while he will be among his
family, for death is really nearer to him than his leather shoe laces (to his feet)." And whenever fever
deserted Bilal, he would say aloud, "Would that I know whether I shall spend a night in the valley (of
Mecca) with Idhkhir and Jalil (i.e. kinds of grass) around me, and whether I shall drink one day the
water of Mijannah, and whether I shall see once again the hills of Shamah and Tafil?" Then I went to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and told him of that. He said, "O Allah, make us love Medina as much as or more than
we used to love Mecca, O Allah, make it healthy and bless its Sa' and Mud (i.e. measures), and take
away its fever to Al-Juhfa."

During the last Hajj led by `Umar, `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf returned to his family at Mina and met
me there. `AbdurRahman said (to `Umar), "O chief of the believers! The season of Hajj is the season
when there comes the scum of the people (besides the good amongst them), so I recommend that you
should wait till you go back to Medina, for it is the place of Migration and Sunna (i.e. the Prophet's
tradition), and there you will be able to refer the matter to the religious scholars and the nobles and the
people of wise opinions." `Umar said, "I will speak of it in Medina on my very first sermon I will
deliver there."
