حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ ، ثَنَا بَشَّارُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ : أَوَّلُ مَنْ هَاجَرَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِأَهْلِهِ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَاحْتَبَسَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَبَرُهُ ، فَجَعَلَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجُ يَتَوَكَّفُ الْأَخْبَارَ ، فَقَدِمَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ : يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ، قَدْ رَأَيْتُ خَتَنَكَ مُتَوَجِّهًا فِي سَفَرِهِ ، وَامْرَأَتُهُ عَلَى حِمَارٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الدَّبَّابَةِ ، وَهُوَ يَسُوقُ بِهَا ، يَمْشِي خَلْفَهَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : صَحِبَهُمَا اللهُ تَعَالَى ، إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ لَأَوَّلُ مَنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَى اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - بِأَهْلِهِ بَعْدَ لُوطٍ ، عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ .
It is narrated from Imam Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: "The first of the Muslims to emigrate with his family to the land of Abyssinia was Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). Then some delay occurred in news of his well-being reaching the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out (in a state of concern) and wait for news from those coming and going. Meanwhile a woman of Quraysh came and said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): O Abu al-Qasim! I saw your son-in-law setting out on his journey; his wife was riding a slow-paced donkey and he was driving it while he himself walked behind her. Hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for them: 'May Allah Almighty be the supporter and travelling companion of them both.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, Uthman is the first person after Sayyiduna Lut (peace be upon him) to emigrate with his family for the pleasure of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.'"
Imam al-Bayhaqi narrated this hadith in 'Dala'il al-Nubuwwah'; in its chain Hasan bin Ziyad al-Lu'lu'i is a weak narrator. However, the event of Sayyiduna Uthman's (may Allah be pleased with him) emigration to Abyssinia together with his wife Sayyidah Ruqayyah (may Allah be pleased with her) is established by other reliable historical and hadith evidence.
