Hadhrat Uthman - Excellence and eminence

Angels attended his Funeral Salaat

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has given the glad tidings that angels will attend the Funeral Salaat of Hadhrat ‘Uthman (May Allah be well pleased with him), as mentioned in Riyadh Un Nadhrah:

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Umar Bin Khattab (May Allah be well pleased with him), he said:  I heard the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) say:  The day when ‘Uthman will be martyred, heavenly angels will attend his Funeral Salaat. I asked:  O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)!  Is this specially for Hadhrat ‘Uthman (May Allah be well pleased with him) or for other people as well?  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: This is specially for ‘Uthman.  (Ar Riyadh Un Nadhrah; Nuzhatul Majalis; Mukhtasar Tareekh Dimashq)
