وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرِو بْنِ حِمَاسٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَرَاهُ وَأَلْقَاهُ مِنْهُ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ : إِنْ كَانَ لَكَ بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ حَاجَةٌ فَاخْرُجْ أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ ثَقُلَ النَّاسُ عِنْدِي .
فَقَدِمَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَتَصَايَحَ النَّاسُ : هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ ، هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ . فَخَرَجْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فِيمَنْ يَنْظُرُ ، فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَعُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِيهِ ، فَأَتَى سَارِيَةً فَصَلَّى عِنْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ أَتَى عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَا سَبَّهُ وَلَا أَنَّبَهُ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَوْمَ أُغِيرَ عَلَى لِقَاحِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : كُنْتُ عَلَى الْبِئْرِ أَسْتَسْقِي .
ثُمَّ رَفَعَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِصَوْتِهِ الْأَشَدِّ فَقَرَأَ : وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلا يُنْفِقُونَهَا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ فَأَمَرَهُ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ .

It is narrated from Malik bin Aws (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I used to hear about Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), and there was no one dearer to me than him whom I had an immense desire to meet and see. (In those days) Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to him to summon him to himself (in Madinah), because Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) had written to him: "If you have any need of the land of Sham and its people, then take Abu Dharr out of here, for he has made the people around me restless (because of his asceticism and his stern stance)."
So when Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived (in Madinah), the people began calling out to one another: "This is Abu Dharr, this is Abu Dharr!" I too went out with the other onlookers to see him. He entered the mosque while Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting there. He went to a pillar and prayed two rak'ahs beside it, then came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and greeted him with peace. He neither reviled him nor rebuked him; rather, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) (only) asked: "Where were you on the day the milch camels of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were raided (by the enemy)?" He replied: "I was at the well drawing water."
Then Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), with all his strength and in a very loud voice, recited this verse of the Noble Qur'an: "And those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah, give them tidings of a painful punishment" [Surah al-Tawbah: 34], until he reached the words of Allah: "what you used to hoard (for yourselves)" [Surah al-Tawbah: 35]. After this, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered him (to go away) to al-Rabadhah.
This report is taken from the Musnad of Imam Ahmad bin Mani'.
