قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ : ثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ قَالَ : إِنَّ نَاسًا كَانُوا عِنْدَ فُسْطَاطِ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا - أُرَى ذَلِكَ بِمَكَّةَ - فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : فَمَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا لَعَنَهُ أَوْ سَبَّهَ غَيْرِي ، وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ لَعَنَهُ أَوْ سَبَّهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ ، فَكَانَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الْكُوفِيِّ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا كُوفِيُّ ، أَتَسُبُّنِي ؟ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَهَدَّدُهُ . قَالَ : فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ - يَعْنِي لِلْكُوفِيِّ - : عَلَيْكَ بِطَلْحَةَ . فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُ طَلْحَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَتَى عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : وَاللهِ لَأَجْلِدَنَّكَ مِائَةً . قَالَ : طَلْحَةُ : وَاللهِ لَا تَجْلِدُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ زَانِيًا . فَقَالَ : لَأَحْرِمَنَّكَ عَطَاءَكَ ، فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : يَا كُوفِيُّ ، إِنَّ اللهَ يَرْزُقُكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave (mawla) of Sayyiduna Abu Usayd, that in Makkah some people were sitting near the tent of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by. Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Apart from me, everyone present there reviled him or cursed him. Among them was a native of Kufah, with whom Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was angrier than with the others, and, as though threatening him, he said, "O Kufan! Do you revile me?" The narrator said: When that Kufan came to Madinah, he was advised, "Turn to Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him)." So Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) took him along and came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said (in a stern tone), "By Allah, I will certainly give you a hundred lashes." Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) promptly replied, "By Allah, you cannot flog him unless he is proven to be a fornicator." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then I will stop your stipend from the treasury." At this Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to that man, "O Kufan! (Do not worry,) Allah will provide for you."
