will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that.” 491
‘Uthmaan bin Maz’un was a Sahabi (companion of Allah’s
Messenger ), a Muhajir (emigrant from Mecca to Medina for the
sake of Allah), a person of abundant righteous actions 492 and
someone who died suffering from a fatal disease 493 . But despite of
all these signs of good end, Allah’s Messenger reproached the

“That flowing spring symbolizes his good deeds.” [Saheeh al-
Bukharee (Arabic-Eng. Trans.) vol.9, p.110, no.132.]
493 Allah’s Messenger said, “Five are regarded as martyrs, they are
those who die because of plague, abdominal disease, drowning or
a falling building etc., and the martyrs in Allah’s cause.” [Saheeh
al-Bukharee (Arabic-Eng. Trans.) vol.4, p.61, no.82.]
494 “Allah has however forgiven the sins of His Messenger.”

[Saheeh al-Bukharee vol.5, no.721] The Qur’aan and the Hadeeth also

battle of Badr.
