Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39859 — Reports on the caliphate and killing
٣٩٨٥٩ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن عبد اللَّه بن سنان قال: قال (عبد اللَّه) (١) حين استخلف عثمان: ما ألونا عن (أعلانا) (٢) ذا فوق (٣).
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sinan that when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed caliph, Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Ma alawna 'an a'lana dha fuq (We did not fall short in choosing the highest of us, a sound arrow with its notch intact; that is, the best among us)."
