Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7684 — from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah, who said

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمُعَلَّى الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ دُحَيْمٍ، ثنا أَبِي ح، وحَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، قَالُوا: ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا عُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كَانَتِ امْرَأَةُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ امْرَأَةً جَمِيلَةً عِطْرِةٌ، تُحِبُّ اللِّبَاسَ، وَالْهَيْأَةَ لِزَوْجِهَا، فَزَارَتْهَا عَائِشَةُ وَهِيَ تَفِلَةٌ قَالَت: مَا حَالُكِ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: إِنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ مِنْهُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ قَدْ تَخَلَّوْا لِلْعِبَادَةِ، وَامْتَنَعُوا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ، وَأَكْلِ اللَّحْمِ وَصَامُوا النَّهَارَ، وَقَامُوا اللَّيْلَ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُرِيَهُ مِنْ حَالِي مَا يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى مَا عِنْدِي لِمَا يُخَلِّي لَهُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ نَعْلَهُ، فَحَمَلَهَا بِالسَّبَّابَةِ مِنْ إِصْبَعِهِ الْيُسْرَى، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ سَرِيعًا حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ حَالِهِمْ، قَالُوا: أَرَدْنَا الْخَيْرَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ: «إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ بِالْحَنِيفِيَّةِ السَّمْحَةِ، وَلَمْ أُبْعَثْ بِالرَّهْبَانِيَّةِ الْبِدْعَةِ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ أَقْوَامًا ابْتَدَعُوا الرَّهْبَانِيَّةَ فَكُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا، أَلَا فَكُلُوا اللَّحْمَ، وَائْتُوا النِّسَاءَ، وَصُومُوا وَأَفْطِرُوا، وَصَلُّوا وَنَامُوا، فَإِنِّي بِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ»
Sulaym bin Amir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The wife of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) was a beautiful, fragrant woman who loved (fine) clothing and adornment for her husband. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) visited her while she was in a neglected state, and she said: What is this state of yours? She said: A group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), among them Ali bin Abi Talib, Abdullah bin Rawahah and Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with them), have devoted themselves solely to worship; they have abstained from women and from eating meat, and they fast by day and stand in prayer by night. So I disliked showing him a state of mine that would draw him to me, because of that to which he has devoted himself. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came in, Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) told him (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) picked up his sandal, holding it with the index finger of his left hand, then went quickly until he reached them, and asked them about their state. They said: We intended good. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have been sent only with the easy and upright pure monotheism (al-hanifiyyah); I have not been sent with innovated monasticism. Listen! Some peoples innovated monasticism, and it was then prescribed for them, but they did not observe it as it ought to be observed. Listen! Eat meat, go to your wives, fast and break your fast, pray and sleep, for this is what I have been commanded."
