٣٤١٧٧ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن عاصم عن أبي عثمان أنه (كانت) (١) في يده قناة يمشي عليها، وكان يكثر أن يقول: واللَّه لو أشاء أن تنطق قناتي هذه لنطقت، لو كان عمر بن الخطاب ميزانًا ما كان فيه ميط شعرة.
Hazrat Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Hazrat Abu Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) used to have a stick in his hand. With its help, he would walk and would often say: If Allah wills that my stick speaks, then it will surely speak. He (may Allah have mercy on him) says: If Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) were a scale, then not even the weight of a hair would there be any injustice.
