Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34211 — Reports on the virtue of Uthman bin
٣٤٢١١ - حدثنا حسين بن علي عن زائدة عن كليب بن وائل عن حبيب بن أبي مليكة قال: سأل رجل ابن عمر عن عثمان فقال: شهد بدرًا؟ فقال: لا، فقال: هل شهد بيعة الرضوان؟ فقال: لا، قال: فهل تولى يوم التقى الجمعان؟ قال: نعم، قال: ثم ذهب الرجل، فقيل لابن عمر: إن هذا يزعم أنك (عبت) (١) عثمان، قال: ردوه (عليَّ) (٢)، (قال) (٣): (فردوه) (٤) عليه، فقال (له) (٥): هل عقلت ما قلت لك؟ قال: نعم، قال: سألتني هل شهد عثمان بدرًا فقلت لك: لا، فقال: إن رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال: "اللهم إن عثمان في حاجتك وحاجة رسولك (٦) "، فضرب له (بسهمه) (٧) وسألتني هل شهد بيعة الرضوان، قال: ⦗٤٥⦘ فقلت لك: لا، وإن رسول اللَّه ﷺ بعثه إلى الأحزاب ليوادعونا (ويسالمونا) (٨) فأبوا وإن رسول اللَّه ﷺ بايع له وقال: "اللهم إن عثمان في حاجتك وحاجة رسولك ﷺ (٩) "، ثم مسح بإحدى يديه على الأخرى فبايع له، وسألتني هل كان عثمان تولى يوم التقى الجمعان قال: فقلت: نعم، وإن اللَّه قال: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ إِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسَبُوا وَلَقَدْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ﴾ [آل عمران: ١٥٥]، فاذهب فاجهد عليَّ جهدك (١٠).
Habib bin Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): Was he present at the Battle of Badr? He said: No. Then he asked: Was he present at the Pledge of Ridwan? He said: No! He asked: Did he turn his back and flee on the day the two armies met (the Battle of Uhud)? He said: Yes! The narrator said: Then the man went away, and it was said to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): This man has understood that you have spoken of a fault in Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: Call him back to me. So they brought that person back. Then he said: Have you even understood what I said to you? He said: Yes! He said: You asked me whether Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in the Battle of Badr, and I answered you that he did not. That is because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah, indeed Uthman is on an errand for You and for Your Messenger. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) also assigned him his share of the spoils. And you asked me whether Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was present at the Pledge of Ridwan, and I answered you that he was not. That is because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him to the polytheists so that they would make peace with us, but they refused. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge on his behalf and said: O Allah, indeed Uthman is on an errand for You and for Your Messenger. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) put one of his hands into the other and gave the pledge on his behalf as well. And you asked me whether Sayyiduna Uthman turned his back and fled on the day the two armies met, and I answered you: Yes! And indeed Allah, the Lord of Might, has said: Indeed, those of you who turned back on the day the two armies met, Satan only caused them to slip because of some of what they had earned, and Allah has certainly pardoned them [Al Imran: 155]. So go, and do whatever you want to do against me.
