Uthman ibn Maz'un

He was married to Khawla bint Hakim, who like himself was one of the earliest converts to Islam.[2] According to Ibn Ishaq, he led a group of Muslims to Abyssinia in the first migration which some of the early Muslims undertook to escape persecution in Mecca.[3] He was also a cousin of Umayya ibn Khalaf.

There is a narration that, out of religious devotion, Uthman ibn Maz'un decided to dedicate himself to prayer and take a vow of chastity from his wife. His wife spoke about this to Muhammad, who gently reminded Uthman that he himself, as the Islamic prophet, also had a family life, and that Uthman had a responsibility to his family and should not adopt monasticism as a form of religious practice.[4]

He died in the 3rd year after the hijra (624/625 CE) and was either the first Companion or the first Muhajir (immigrant to Medina) to be buried in the cemetery of al-Baqi' in Medina.[5]
