سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) امْرَأَةً حِينَ مَاتَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ هَنِيئاً لَكَ يَا أَبَا السَّائِبِ الْجَنَّةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ مَا عِلْمُكِ حَسْبُكِ أَنْ تَقُولِي كَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) هَمَلَتْ عَيْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِالدُّمُوعِ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) تَدْمَعُ الْعَيْنُ وَ يَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ وَ لَا نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ وَ إِنَّا بِكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَمَحْزُونُونَ ثُمَّ رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي قَبْرِهِ خَلَلًا فَسَوَّاهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا عَمِلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَمَلًا فَلْيُتْقِنْ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَقْ بِسَلَفِكَ الصَّالِحِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Qaddah, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The Prophet<sup>as</sup> heard a woman, when Usman Bin Mazoun died, and she was saying, ‘Congratulations to you, O Abu Al-Saib, of the Paradise!’ So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘And what is your knowledge? It would suffice you to that you should be saying, ‘He used to love Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>’. So when Ibrahim<sup>as</sup>, son<sup>as</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> passed away, the eyes of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> filled with tears. Then the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The eyes are tearful and the heart is grieving and we<sup>saww</sup> are not saying what would Anger the Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and I<sup>saww</sup> am with you<sup>as</sup>, O Ibrahim<sup>as</sup>, grieving’. Then the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> saw a flaw in his<sup>as</sup> grave, so he<sup>saww</sup> evened it with his<sup>saww</sup> hand, then said: ‘When one of you does something, so let him be proficient in it’. Then he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Join with your<sup>as</sup> righteous ancestor Usman Bin Mazoun’.
