Hadith 3717
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : هُوَ حَوَارِيُّ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسُمِّيَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ لِبَيَاضِ ثِيَابِهِمْ .
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that they were the disciples of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and they (the disciples of Jesus, peace be upon him) are called "Hawariyyin" because of their white garments (some people have described them as washermen).
حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ ، قَالَ : أَصَابَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رُعَافٌ شَدِيدٌ سَنَةَ الرُّعَافِ حَتَّى حَبَسَهُ عَنِ الْحَجِّ وَأَوْصَى فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ، قَالَ : " اسْتَخْلِفْ ، قَالَ : وَقَالُوهُ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : وَمَنْ فَسَكَتَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ أَحْسِبُهُ الْحَارِثَ ، فَقَالَ : اسْتَخْلِفْ ، فَقَالَ : عُثْمَانُ وَقَالُوا ، فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : وَمَنْ هُوَ فَسَكَتَ ، قَالَ : فَلَعَلَّهُمْ قَالُوا الزُّبَيْرَ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَخَيْرُهُمْ مَا عَلِمْتُ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَأَحَبَّهُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakam: `Uthman bin `Affan was afflicted with severe nose-bleeding in the year when such illness was prevelant and that prevented him from performing Hajj, and (because of it) he made his will. A man from Quraish came to him and said, "Appoint your successor." `Uthman asked, "Did the people name him? (i.e. the successor) the man said, "Yes." `Uthman asked, "Who is that?" The man remained silent. Another man came to `Uthman and I think it was Al-Harith. He also said, "Appoint your successor." `Uthman asked, "Did the people name him?" The man replied "Yes." `Uthman said, "Who is that?" The man remained silent. `Uthman said, "Perhaps they have mentioned Az-Zubair?" The man said, "Yes." `Uthman said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, he is the best of them as I know, and the dearest of them to Allah's Apostle ."

Hadith Commentary:
This was the opinion of Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) that he would appoint Zubair (radi Allahu anhu) as caliph after him, but in the knowledge of Allah, this position was designated specifically for Ali (radi Allahu anhu).
Therefore, under divine decree, Ali (radi Allahu anhu) became the fourth rightly guided caliph, and in this very order these four are called the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Khulafa Rashidun), and in this order, the caliphate of all of them is legitimate.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The people sought to persuade Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) to accept the proposal of the caliphate because, due to the illness of nosebleeds, the circumstances had become such that perhaps Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) might not recover from this illness. Therefore, it was necessary to appoint a successor to the caliph. Uthman intended to nominate Zubair (radi Allahu anhu) in view of his capabilities, but in Allah’s knowledge, this position was reserved for Ali (radi Allahu anhu); thus, Ali (radi Allahu anhu) became the fourth caliph.
➋
In any case, this hadith indicates the rank and status of Zubair (radi Allahu anhu), showing how people regarded him. In addition, Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) testified that he was very beloved to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). In any case, Zubair (radi Allahu anhu) was a loyal and devoted person.
