Firasah of Third Caliph Uthman b. Affan رضى الله عنه

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

وصلى الله تعالى على خاتم النبيين

وَكَذَلِكَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ صَادِقُ الْفِرَاسَةِ وَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَكُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً فِي الطَّرِيقِ تَأَمَّلْتُ مَحَاسِنَهَا فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ أَحَدُكُمْ وَأَثَرُ الزِّنَا ظَاهِرٌ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَوَحْيٌ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ‌وَلَكِنْ ‌تَبْصِرَةٌ ‌وَبُرْهَانٌ وَفِرَاسَةٌ صَادِقَةٌ

Likewise, Uthman bin Affan [radi Allahu anhu] was truthful in Firasah. Anas bin Malik [radi Allahu anhu] says that he entered in the presence of Uthman bin Affan [radi Allahu anhu] and that he had seen a lady on the road, admiring her beauty. So Uthman [radi Allahu anhu] said: “One of you has entered upon me and there is a trace of Zina apparent in his eyes.” So I said: “Is there Wahi after the Apostle of Allah [sall Allahu alaihi wasallam]?” He said: “Rather, it is vision, proof, and true Firasah.”
