"From Ibn Mas'ud, who said: 'I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthman were with him, and he had been speaking privately with them. I greeted him, but he did not return my greeting. So I stood up, seeking a time when he was free and alone, fearing that I had done something wrong. He spoke privately with Abu Bakr for a long time, then 'Umar went out, then 'Uthman went out, and he went out. I began to seek Allah's forgiveness and apologize, and I said: I greeted you but you did not return my greeting. He said: These men preoccupied me from you. I said: With what? He said: I informed Abu Bakr that he will be after me, and I said: Look at how it will be. (Then he said): There is no power except through Allah. Ask Allah for me, so I did, and Allah will do that for him. Then I said the same to 'Umar, and he said: There is no power except through Allah; Allah is sufficient for me, and Allah is sufficient for him. Then I said the same to 'Uthman, and you will be killed, and he said: There is no power except through Allah. Ask Allah for me for martyrdom. I said: If you are patient and do not waver, he said: I will be patient. Allah made Paradise obligatory for him, and he will be killed. When his rule came, he said: By Allah, we did not turn away from its highest ( ) .'"
