Home Hadith Hadith 3767
The day of Bu'ath was a day (i.e. battle) which Allah caused to take place just before the mission of
His Apostle so that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Medina, they (the tribes) had divided (into hostile
groups) and their nobles had been killed; and all that facilitated their conversion to Islam.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 155

An Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) that the Ansar drew lots
concerning the dwelling of the Emigrants. `Uthman bin Maz'un was decided to dwell with them (i.e.
Um Al-`Ala's family), `Uthman fell ill and I nursed him till he died, and we covered him with his
clothes. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came to us and I (addressing the dead body) said, "O Abu As-Sa'ib, may
Allah's Mercy be on you! I bear witness that Allah has honored you." On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "How
do you know that Allah has honored him?" I replied, "I do not know. May my father and my mother
be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! But who else is worthy of it (if not `Uthman)?" He said, "As
to him, by Allah, death has overtaken him, and I hope the best for him. By Allah, though I am the
Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me," By Allah, I will never assert the piety
of anyone after him. That made me sad, and when I slept I saw in a dream a flowing stream for
`Uthman bin Maz'un. I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and told him of it. He remarked, "That symbolizes his
(good) deeds."

Bakr said twice. "Musical instrument of Satan!" But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Leave them Abu Bakr, for
every nation has an `Id (i.e. festival) and this day is our `Id."
