عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَقْطَعَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَرْضَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَهَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ إِلَى آلِ عُمَرَ فَاشْتَرَى نَصِيبَهُ فَأَتَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ زَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْطَعَهُ وَعُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَرْضَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَإِنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ نَصِيبَ آلِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ جَائِزُ الشَّهَادَةِ لَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin Zubair (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted me and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) such-and-such land as a fief. Then Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the family of Umar and bought their share, and came to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) believes that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) such-and-such land as a fief, and I have bought the share of the family of Umar. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) is a truthful witness, whether it is in his favor or against him.
