"عَن عُبَيْدِ اللَّه بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفَّى عُثْمَانُ بنُ مَظْعُون وَفَاةً لَمْ يُقْتَلْ: هَبَطَ مِنْ نَفْسى هَبْطَةً ضَخْمَةً، فَقُلْتُ: انظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا الَّذِى كَانَ أَشَدَّنَا تَخَلّيًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا (ثُمَّ مَات) وَلَم يُقْتَلْ، فَلَم يَزَل عُثْمَانُ بِتِلكَ المَنْزِلَةِ مِن نَفْسِى حَتَّى تُوُفِّى رَسولُ اللَّه ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ: وَيْكَ إِنَّ خِيَارَنَا يَمُوتُونَ (ثُمَّ تُوُفى أبُو بَكْرِ فَقُلْتُ: وَيْكَ إِنَّ خِيَارنَا يَمُوتُونَ) فَرَجَعَ عُثْمَانُ فِى نَفسى إِلَى الْمَنْزِلَةِ الَّتِى كَانَ بِهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ".

"'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utbah: It reached him that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, when 'Uthman ibn Maz'un died a death that was not by killing: A great descent has descended from my soul, so I said: Look at this one who was among us the most detached from the world, (then he died) and was not killed. 'Uthman remained in that position in my soul until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and I said: Woe to you, our best people die! (Then Abu Bakr died and I said: Woe to you, our best people die!) So 'Uthman returned in my soul to the position he had held before that.'"
