Hadith 12248

عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَهُ ابْنَ أَخِي أَدْرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لَا وَلَكِنْ خَلَصَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ وَالْيَقِينِ مَا يَخْلُصُ إِلَى الْعَذْرَاءِ فِي سِتْرِهَا قَالَ فَتَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحَقِّ فَكُنْتُ مِمَّنْ اسْتَجَابَ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَآمَنَ بِمَا بُعِثَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ هَاجَرْتُ الْهِجْرَتَيْنِ كَمَا قُلْتُ وَنِلْتُ صِهْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَصَيْتُهُ وَلَا غَشَشْتُهُ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Adi bin Khiyar that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Nephew! Did you meet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: No, but the knowledge and certainty from him (peace and blessings be upon him) has reached me with such clarity as if something reaches a veiled woman even while she is behind her veil. Then he delivered a sermon, testified to the two declarations of faith, and then said: As for what follows! Surely Allah Almighty sent Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with the truth, and I was among those who accepted the word of Allah and His Messenger, and I believed in the religion with which Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent. Then I performed two migrations (one migration to Abyssinia and the second migration to Madinah), and I also had the honor of being the son-in-law of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah! I never disobeyed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), nor did I ever betray him, until Allah Almighty caused him to pass away.
