Narrated Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit:Um Al-`Ala an Ansari woman who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "`Uthman bin Maz'un came in our share when the Ansars drew lots to distribute the emigrants (to dwell) among themselves, He became sick and we looked after (nursed) him till he died. Then we shrouded him in his clothes. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us, I (addressing the dead body) said, "May Allah's Mercy be on you, O Aba As-Sa'ib! I testify that Allah has honored you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'How do you know that?' I replied, 'I do not know, by Allah.' He said, 'As for him, death has come to him and I wish him all good from Allah. By Allah, though I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I neither know what will happen to me, nor to you.'" Um Al-`Ala said, "By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that." She added, "Later I saw in a dream, a flowing spring for `Uthman. So I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is (the symbol of) his good deeds (the reward for) which is going on for him.' "

Sahih
Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit related from Umm al-'Ala', one of their women who gave allegiance to the Prophet, say, "'Uthman ibn Maz'un fell to our lot in giving lodging when the Ansar drew lots for the lodging of the Muhajirun. He became ill and we cared for him until he died. Then he put him in his clothes and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to us. I said, 'The mercy of Allah be upon you, Abu's-Sa'ib. I testify to you that Allah has honoured you.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked, 'How do you know that?' I said, 'I do not know, by Allah.' He said, ' As for him, the Certain has come to him. I hope for the best for him from Allah. By Allah, in spite of my being the Messenger of Allah, do not know what my Lord will do with me or you.'' Umm al-'Ala' said, " By Allah, I will never vouch for anyone after him." She said, "I dreamt that 'Uthman had a spring which was flowing. I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is flowing on account of his actions.'"
