قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ زَاذَانَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ : إِنَّ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ فَرْقَدٍ عَرَضَ عَلَى ابْنِهِ التَّزْوِيجَ فَأَبَى ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : " أَلَيْسَ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَدْ تَزَوَّجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، وَتَزَوَّجَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، وَعِنْدَنَا مِنْهُنَّ مَا عِنْدَنَا ؟ " . فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، مَنْ لَهُ عَمَلٌ مِثْلُ عَمَلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، وَمِثْلُ عَمَلِكَ ؟ فَلَمَّا قَالَ : مِثْلُ عَمَلِكَ - قَالَ : " كُفَّ ; إِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَزَوَّجْ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا ".
It is narrated from Imam Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Utbah bin Farqad (may Allah be pleased with him) put the offer of marriage before his son, but he refused. Then he mentioned this to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to that young man: "Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not marry? And Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) married too, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) married too, and we too have of them (wives) what we have?" At this the young man said: O Commander of the Believers, whose deeds could be like the deeds of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and whose deeds could be (as lofty) as your deeds? When he said "like your deeds", Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Enough, be quiet; now if you wish, marry, and if you wish, do not."
