حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لَقِيَ عُثْمَانَ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ " يَا عُثْمَانُ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ زَوَّجَكَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِمِثْلِ صَدَاقِ رُقَيَّةَ عَلَى مِثْلِ صُحْبَتِهَا " .

Abu Marwan Muhammad ibn 'Uthman al-'Uthmani narrated to us; my father, 'Uthman ibn Khalid, narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi al-Zinad, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met 'Uthman at the mosque door and said: 'Uthman, Gabriel has informed me that Allah has married you to Umm Kulthum with a dowry like Ruqayyah's, and with a companionship like your companionship with her.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic phrase على مثل صحبتها is rendered literally as a companionship like that with Ruqayyah; the witness expands it as a condition to treat Umm Kulthum as he treated Ruqayyah.
