Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8304 — Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As, who was

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْخَلَّالُ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ - وَكَانَ شَابًّا -: وَفَدْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدَنِي أَفْضَلَهُمْ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ، وَقَدْ فَضَلْتُهُمْ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَدْ أَمَّرْتُكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ، وَأَنْتَ أَصْغَرُهُمْ، فَإِذَا أَمَمْتَ قَوْمًا فَأُمَّهُمْ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ وَرَاءَكَ الْكَبِيرَ وَالصَّغِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ، وَإِذَا كُنْتَ مُصَدِّقًا فَلَا تَأْخُذِ الشَّافِعَ - وَهِي الْمَاخِضُ - وَلَا الرُّبَّى وَلَا فَحْلَ الْغَنَمِ، وَحَزْرَةُ الرَّجُلِ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنْكَ، وَلَا تَمَسَّ الْقُرْآنَ إِلَّا وَأَنْتَ طَاهِرٌ، واعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْعُمْرَةَ هِي الْحَجُّ الْأَصْغَرُ، وَأَنَّ عُمْرَةً خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، وَحَجَّةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عُمْرَةٍ»
Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a young man at that time, said: We came as a delegation to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) found me the best of them in acquiring the Qur'an, and I had surpassed them all in (memorising) Surah al-Baqarah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have appointed you as leader over your companions, even though you are the youngest of them. So when you lead a people in prayer, lead them according to the weakest of them, for behind you are the old, the young, the weak and those with needs. And when you are a collector (of zakah), do not take the shafi', that is, a pregnant (animal), nor the rubba (one that has recently given birth and is suckling its young), nor the male of the sheep; and a man's favourite (best) property is his more than yours. And do not touch the Qur'an except when you are in a state of ablution. And know that Umrah is the lesser Hajj, and that an Umrah is better than the world and everything in it, and a Hajj is better than an Umrah."
