Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11996

Salim bin Abi al-Ja'd narrates: Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) summoned some people from among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), among whom was Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I am going to ask you something, and I would like you to tell me the truth. I ask you by Allah: do you know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give Quraysh preference over all other people, and give Banu Hashim preference over the rest of Quraysh?" The people remained silent. Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If the keys of Paradise were in my hand, I would give them to Banu Umayyah, until every last one of them entered Paradise." Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Shall I not narrate to you both a hadith about him?" (Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) meant Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him).) "Once I was coming along with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was holding my hand. Walking through the open valley, we came upon his father, his mother and him, who were being tormented. Ammar's father said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will it always be like this?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: 'Be patient!' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Allah, forgive the family of Yasir, and You have done so.'" (Or the meaning is that Allah Almighty said: "I have done so.")
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih; however, this report is munqati' (broken).
