عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْيَشْكُرِيِّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أُمِّي تُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ أُمَّهَا انْطَلَقَتْ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ حَاجَّةً ، وَالْبَيْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَهُ بَابَانِ قَالَتْ : فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ طَوَافِي دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ . قَالَتْ : فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، إِنَّ بَعْضَ بَنِيكِ بَعَثَ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلَامَ ، وَإِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَكْثَرُوا فِي عُثْمَانَ فَمَا تَقُولِينَ فِيهِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَهُ ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَهُ - لَا أَحْسَبُهَا إِلَّا قَالَتْ : ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ - لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ مُسْنِدٌ فَخِذَهُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ ، وَإِنِّي لَأَمْسَحُ الْعَرَقَ عَنْ جَبِينِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَإِنَّ الْوَحْيَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَلَقَدْ زَوَّجَهُ ابْنَتَيْهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا بَعْدَ الْأُخْرَى ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَقُولُ : " اكْتُبْ عُثَيْمُ " . قَالَتْ : مَا كَانَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - لِيُنْزِلَ عَبْدًا مِنْ نَبِيِّهِ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ إِلَّا عَبْدًا كَرِيمًا عَلَيْهِ .
Umar bin Ibrahim al-Yashkuri states: I heard my mother narrating that her mother went to the House of Allah for Hajj, and in those days the House had two doors. That woman states: When I completed my tawaf, I went to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). That woman says: I said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "O Mother of the Believers! One of your sons has sent you his greetings of peace, and the people have turned greatly against Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), so what do you say about him?" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "May Allah Almighty curse whoever curses him; whoever curses him, may Allah Almighty curse him" - I think she said these words three times - and then she stated: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) resting his thigh against Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and I was wiping the sweat from the forehead of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while revelation was descending upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married two of his daughters to Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), one after the other, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): 'O Uthaym, write!'" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Allah Almighty would only bring a servant this close to His Prophet if that servant were honoured in the sight of Allah Almighty."
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ : وَهُوَ مَسْنِدٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَيَّ .

In one narration the wording is: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was leaning against me.
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, except that he narrated it with this wording: Umm Kulthum bint Thumamah al-Hinti states: Her brother al-Mukhariq bin Thumamah al-Hinti said to her: "Go to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and convey my greetings of peace to her." I went to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "One of your sons has sent you his greetings of peace." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "And upon him be peace, and the mercy of Allah Almighty and His blessings." I said: "He wants to ask you to tell him about Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), because the people (among us) have been saying a great deal against him since he was martyred." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "As for me, I bear witness that Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) was present in this very house, and the Prophet of Allah was present. Sayyiduna Jibril was present; he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a scorching hot night. When revelation descended upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it would be a cause of heaviness for him, because Allah Almighty has said: 'We shall cast upon you a weighty word.'" After this the narrator mentioned the hadith as before. I do not know the female narrator named Umm Kulthum; the rest of al-Tabarani's narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
