Hadith 12256
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى رِدَائِهِ فَأَتَاهُ سَقَّاءَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ إِلَيْهِ فَقَضَى بَيْنَهُمَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ حَسَنُ الْوَجْهِ بِوَجْنَتِهِ نَكَتَاتُ جُدَرِيٍّ وَإِذَا شَعْرُهُ قَدْ كَسَا ذِرَاعَيْهِ
It is narrated from Hasan bin Abi Hasan, he says: I entered the mosque and saw that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting, leaning on his cloak. Meanwhile, two men who used to serve water to the people came to him to resolve a dispute between them. He decided between them. After that, I came to him and looked at him attentively. What I saw was that he was a man with a beautiful face, there were some marks of smallpox on his cheeks, and his hair covered his arms.
Hadith 12257
وَعَنْ أُمِّ مُوسَى قَالَتْ كَانَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ أَجْمَلِ النَّاسِ
It is narrated from Umm Musa, she says that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was a very handsome man among the people.
Hadith 12258
وَعَنْ أُمِّ غُرَابٍ عَنْ بُنَانَةَ قَالَتْ: مَا خَضَبَ عُثْمَانُ قَطُّ۔
It is narrated from Banana that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) never dyed his hair.
Hadith 12259
عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبَّادَ بْنَ زَاهِرٍ أَبَا رُوَاعٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّا وَاللّٰهِ! قَدْ صَحِبْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْحَضَرِ، وَكَانَ يَعُودُ مَرْضَانَا، وَيَتْبَعُ جَنَائِزَنَا، وَيَغْزُو مَعَنَا، وَيُوَاسِينَا بِالْقَلِيلِ وَالْكَثِيرِ، وَإِنَّ نَاسًا يُعْلِمُونِي بِهِ، عَسٰى أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ أَحَدُهُمْ رَآهُ قَطُّ۔
It is narrated from ‘Abad bin Zahir, he says: I heard Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) delivering a sermon, he said: “By Allah! We had the honor of being in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during travel and at home. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit our sick, attend our funerals, fight alongside us, and whether something was little or much, he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to include us in it. Now some people teach me things about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), even though it is possible that some of them have not even seen the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).”
Hadith 12260
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ یَأْمُرُ فِيْ خُطْبَتِهِ بِقَتْلِ الْکِلَابِ وَذَبْحِ الْحَمَامِ۔
It is narrated from Hasan, he says: I was present with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he gave the order in his sermon to kill dogs and to slaughter pigeons.
