Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7610

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى خُوَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ الْأَوْقَصِ السُّلَمِيَّةِ ، وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ : فَرَأَى بَذَاذَةَ هَيْئَتِهَا فَقَالَ لِي : " يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا أَبَذَّ هَيْئَةِ خُوَيْلَةَ " قَالَتْ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ امْرَأَةٌ لَا زَوْجَ لَهَا تَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَتَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ فَهِيَ كَمَنْ لَا زَوْجَ لَهَا فَتَرَكَتْ نَفْسَهَا وَأَضَاعَتْهَا . قَالَتْ : فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ فَجَاءَهُ فَقَالَ : " يَا عُثْمَانُ أَرَغِبْتَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي ؟ " قَالَ : لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَلَكِنْ سُنَّتَكَ أَطْلُبُ ! قَالَ : " فَإِنِّي أَنَامُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ ، وَأَنْكِحُ النِّسَاءَ فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا عُثْمَانُ ، فَإِنَّ لِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا ، وَإِنَّ لِضَيْفِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا ، وَإِنَّ لِنَفْسِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا فَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ وَصَلِّ وَنَمْ " .
قُلْتُ رَوَى أَبُو دَاوُدَ مِنْهُ طَرَفًا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ بِنَحْوِهِ وَقَالَ : فَقَالَ : " يَا عُثْمَانُ إِنَّ لَكَ فِيَّ أُسْوَةً إِنَّ أَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَحْفَظَكُمْ لِحُدُودِهِ لَأَنَا " .
Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: Khuwaylah bint Hakim bin Umayyah bin Harithah bin al-Awqas al-Sulamiyyah came to me; she was the wife of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw her shabby state and said to me: O Aishah, why is Khuwaylah in such a poor state? Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I said: O Messenger of Allah, she is a woman who is as if she has no husband; he fasts by day and keeps praying voluntary prayers by night, so she is like a woman who has no husband. She has neglected herself and is letting herself go to waste. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him), and he came to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Uthman, are you turning away from my Sunnah? He said: No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah; rather, it is your Sunnah that I seek to follow. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then I sleep (at night) and I also pray voluntary prayers; I fast (voluntarily, by day) and I also leave off fasting; and I have married women. O Uthman, fear Allah. Your wife has a right over you, your guest has a right over you, and your own self has a right over you. So fast (voluntarily) and also leave off fasting, and pray (voluntary prayers at night) and also sleep.
('Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Abu Dawud recorded part of this narration.
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Bazzar recorded something similar, with these words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Uthman, in my way there is the best example for you. I am the one among you who fears Allah Almighty the most and guards His limits the most."
