Hadith 12269

عَنِ ابْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ حِينَ حُصِرَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي نَجَائِبَ قَدْ أَعْدَدْتُهَا لَكَ فَهَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَأْتِيَكَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكَ قَالَ لَا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”يُلْحِدُ بِمَكَّةَ كَبْشٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ نِصْفِ أَوْزَارِ النَّاسِ“
It is narrated from Ibn Abzi that when Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: I have excellent camels, I have prepared them for you, if you wish, you may proceed to Makkah, after that whoever wishes to come to you, may come and meet you. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: No, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that in Makkah, a man from the Quraysh named Abdullah will commit heresy, upon him will be sins equal to half the sins of all people.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Hafiz Ibn Kathir rahimahullah, after recording this hadith (Al-Bidayah: 8/339), said: This hadith is extremely munkar (denounced); there is weakness in its chain of narration. Ya‘qub ibn al-Qummi had Shi‘ite tendencies, and the solitary narration of such a narrator is not accepted. Even if we assume this hadith to be authentic, it does not refer to Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Zubayr radi Allahu anhu, because he was characterized by praiseworthy qualities and his leadership was for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala. Furthermore, after Mu‘awiyah ibn Yazid, in any case, the right to rule belonged to him, and he was more deserving than Marwan ibn Hakam.
