Volume 5, Book 58, Number 266:
Narrated ‘Um al-‘Ala:
An Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet that the Ansar drew lots con –
cerning 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 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 said, “How do you
know that Allah has honored him?” I replied, “I do not know. May my father and my mother be sac –
rificed for you, O Allah’s Apostle! 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 Apostle and told him of it. He remarked, “That symbolizes his (good) deeds.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
When Allah’s Apostle arrived at Medina, he alighted at the upper part of Medina among the
people called Bani ‘Amr bin ‘Auf and he stayed with them for fourteen nights. Then he sent for the
chiefs of Bani An-Najjar, and they came, carrying their swords. As if I am just now looking at Allah’s
Apostle on his she-camel with Abu Bakr riding behind him (on the same camel) and the chiefs of
Bani An-Najjar around him till he dismounted in the courtyard of Abu Aiyub’s home. The Prophet
used to offer the prayer wherever the prayer was due, and he would pray even in sheepfolds. Then
he ordered that the mosque be built. He sent for the chiefs of Banu An-Najjar, and when they came,
he said, “O Banu An-Najjar! Suggest to me the price of this garden of yours.” They replied “No! By Al –
lah, we do not demand its price except from Allah.” In that garden there were the (following) things
that I will tell you: Graves of pagans, unleveled land with holes and pits etc., and date-palm trees. Al –
lah’s Apostle ordered that the graves of the pagans be dug up and, the unleveled land be leveled and
the date-palm trees be cut down. The trunks of the trees were arranged so as to form the wall facing
the Qibla. The Stone pillars were built at the sides of its gate. The companions of the Prophet were
carrying the stones and reciting some lyrics, and Allah’s Apostle . . was with them and they were say –
ing, “O Allah! There is no good Excel the good of the Hereafter, so bestow victory on the Ansar and
the Emigrants. “
