Muhammad bin Sirin states: When the people began circling around the house of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), the wife of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do you want to martyr him? Whether you martyr him or leave him, in any case he spends the whole night in worship and recites the entire Qur'an in a single rak'ah."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).
