Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib: The first people who came to us (in Medina) were Mus`ab bin `Umar and Ibn Um Maktum who were teaching Qur'an to the people. Then their came Bilal. Sa`d and `Ammar bin Yasir. After that `Umar bin Al-Khattab came along with twenty other companions of the Prophet.

And before his arrival I had read the Sura starting with:-- Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High (87.1) together with other Suras of Al-Mufassal.

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 Apostle 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.

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.

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 sacrificed 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.

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.
