Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 2951

وَعَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا قَدْ حَمَلْنَا لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ شَيْئًا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ فَأَتَيْنَا الرَّبَذَةَ فَسَأَلْنَا عَنْهُ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ قِيلَ : اسْتَأْذَنَ فِي الْحَجِّ فَأُذِنَ لَهُ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ بِالْبَلَدِ - وَهِيَ مِنًى - فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَقَالَ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا وَقَالَ : صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ثُمَّ قَامَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ : عِبْتَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ تَصْنَعُهُ ؟ قَالَ : الْخِلَافُ أَشَدُّ - فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَيَأْتِي بِتَمَامِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، إِمَّا فِي قِتَالِ أَهْلِ الْبَغْيِ أَوْ فِي الْخِلَافَةِ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَفِيهِ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُسَمَّ .
A man narrated: We had brought something for Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, intending to give it to him. When we came to al-Rabadhah and asked about him, we did not find him. We were told that he intended to go for Hajj and had been given permission. So we came to him in the town (the narrator said: this means Mina). While we were with him, he was told that Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) had led the prayer with four rak'ahs. This weighed very heavily on Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari; he expressed strong anger about it and said: "I prayed behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he led two rak'ahs; and I prayed behind Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari stood up and he too offered four rak'ahs. He was told: "First you objected to the Commander of the Believers, and now you yourself are doing the same thing?" He said: "Disagreement is worse." After this the narrator mentioned the narration as before.
This narration will come later in full, if Allah wills, either in the chapter on fighting the rebels or in the chapter on the caliphate.
Imam Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator whose name has not been mentioned.
