وَبِهِ قَالَ اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي : عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، كَانَ كُلَّمَا دَعَا رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ ذَكَرَ مَنَاقِبَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّكَ لَهَا لَأَهْلٌ ، فَإِنْ أَخْطَأَتْكَ فَمَنْ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : إِنْ أَخْطَأَتْنِي فَعُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ .
Imam al-Layth bin Sa'd narrates from Usamah bin Zayd, who narrates through a man from among them (the members of the consultation council), that whenever Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), on that night (of the election of the caliph), called any man from among them (the nominated candidates) for consultation, he would first mention his virtues and merits and then say to him: "Surely you are fully worthy of this office of caliphate; but if this responsibility does not come to you, then who, in your view, deserves it?" He would reply: "If this office does not come to me, then Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) is the most deserving of it."
This narration indicates the lofty status of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and the mutual trust and selflessness of the members of the consultation council on the occasion of electing the caliph; its basis is found in Sahih al-Bukhari.
