==Demise==
He was the first Muhajir (Emigrant) to pass away in [[Medina]] in [[2]]/623 (22 months after the arrival of the Prophet (s) in Medina), and was buried in [[Baqi']]. According to Ibn 'Abd al-Barr, some reported that he passed away after the [[battle of Badr]] - 30 months after the arrival of the Prophet (s) in Medina. Probably the different reports about his demise date originate in a disagreement between [[Muhajirin]] and [[Ansar]] about the first companion of the Prophet (s) buried in Baqi': Ansar believed that [[As'ad b. Zurara]], who was present in both [[Pledge of al-'Aqaba|Pledges of al-'Aqaba]] and passed away before the battle of Badr was the first companion buried in Baqi'; while Muhajirin believed that it was 'Uthman b. Maz'un.

'Uthman b. Maz'un was buried in the middle of Baqi' cemetery. The Prophet (s) marked his grave with a stone and visited it. This stone was on his grave until the time of [[Mu'awiya]]'s reign, then it was put on [['Uthman b. 'Affan]]'s grave - which was later added to Baqi' - by Mu'awiya's order.

Other great figures were buried near 'Uthman b. Maz'un's grave. Recent sources reported that there was a shrine and a dome over his grave; but there is no information about the sponsor or the time of building that shrine. Concerning the similarity between the Zarih of the [[infallible Imams]] buried in Baqi' and the Zarih on 'Uthman b. Maz'un's grave, some scholars attributed building of his shrine to Majd al-Malik Baravistani (d. 492/1099 or 493/1100) the Persian vizier of Sultan Barkiaraq Saljuqi (reign 486-498/1093-1104).


Describing his Zarih, Ibn Jubayr reported that it was made of wood, decorated with exquisite patterns and beautiful nails knocked on it. The Zarih was like a wooden window, that opens toward [[Qibla]]. After mentioning the grave of Ibrahim, Matari also mentioned a latticed Zarih located toward the Qibla of the grave.
