Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39407 — Reports on Abyssinia, the affair
٣٩٤٠٧ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن عاصم عن ابن سيرين أنه ذكر عنده عثمان بن عفان، قال (رجل) (١): إنهم يسبونه، قال: ويحهم يسبون رجلا دخل على النجاشي في نفر من أصحاب محمد ﷺ فكلهم أعطاه الفتنة غيره، قالوا: وما الفتنة ⦗٤٢٣⦘ التي أعطوها؟ قال: كان لا يدخل عليه أحد إلا أومأ إليه برأسه فأبى عثمان فقال: ما منعك أن تسجد كما سجد أصحابك؟ فقال: ما (كنت) (٢) لأسجد لأحد دون اللَّه (٣) (٤).
It is reported about Ibn Sirin that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) was mentioned in his presence, and a man said: "People revile him." Ibn Sirin said: "Woe to those people, that they revile a man who entered upon al-Najashi together with a group of the Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Every one of them gave in to the trial except him." The people asked: "What was the trial that they gave in to?" Ibn Sirin said: "Everyone who went in to al-Najashi would enter bowing his head. Sayyiduna Uthman refused to do this, so al-Najashi said to him: 'What has prevented you from prostrating as your companions prostrated?' He replied: 'I do not prostrate to anyone except Allah.'"
