How sound is the narration of Uthman ibn Affan's vision of the Prophet (peace be upon him) before his martyrdom?
Numerous narrations state that Uthman ibn Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) in his dream on the night of his martyrdom, inviting him to break his fast with him. He was fasting on that day and was killed. This dream has been authenticated through several chains of transmission, including what Al-Hakim and Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated from Ibn Umar, and what Ibn Hibban witnessed from Abu Sa'id, the mawla of Abu Usayd al-Ansari, as well as from Uthman's wife, from Abu Qilabah, and Abdullah ibn Ahmad. All of these indicate his vision of the Prophet (peace be upon him) inviting him to break his fast with him that night, which made him aware of the approaching end of his life. Al-Hafiz Al-Bayhaqi and Sheikh Abu Ishaq Al-Huwayni affirmed the authenticity of this dream due to its multiple chains of transmission.
