'Uthman b. Maz'un was buried in the middle of al-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 al-Baqi' - by Mu'awiya's order. | 'Uthman b.

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 Darih of the [[Imams of al-Baqi'|infallible Imams]] buried in Baqi' and the Darih of '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). | Other great figures were buried near 'Uthman b.

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