1483 — Al-Firyābī also narrated to us, saying: Abū Khaythamah Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to us, saying: Shabābah ibn Sawwār narrated to us, saying: Harīz ibn Uthmān narrated to us, from Abd al-Rahmān ibn Maysarah, who said: I heard Abū Umāmah al-Bāhilī say: The Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—said:

“Through the intercession of a man from my nation, as many people as one of the two tribes, Rabī‘ah or Mudar, will enter Paradise.”

He said: The elders held that this man was Uthmān ibn Affān—may Allah be pleased with him.
