حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ : دَخَلَتِ امْرَأَةُ ابْنِ مَظْعُونٍ عَلَى نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَرَأَيْنَهَا سَيِّئَةَ الْهَيْئَةِ ، فَقُلْنَ لَهَا : مَا لَكِ ؟ مَا فِي قُرَيْشٍ رَجُلٌ أَغْنَى مِنْ بَعْلِكِ ؟ قَالَتْ : مَا كُنَّا مِنْهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ : أَمَّا نَهَارُهُ فَصَائِمٌ ، وَأَمَّا لَيْلُهُ فَقَائِمٌ قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَذَكَرْنَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ . قَالَ : فَلَقِيَهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا عُثْمَانُ ، أَمَا لَكَ بِي أُسْوَةٌ ؟ قَالَ : وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي ؟ قَالَ : « أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَقُومُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَتَصُومُ بِالنَّهَارِ ، وَإِنَّ لِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا ، وَإِنَّ لِجَسَدِكَ حَقًّا ، فَصَلِّ وَنَمْ ، وَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ » قَالَ : فَأَتَتْهُمُ الْمَرْأَةُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَطِرَةً كَأَنَّهَا عَرُوسٌ ، فَقُلْنَ لَهَا : مَهْ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَصَابَنَا مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the wife of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They saw her in a dishevelled state and asked her: "What is the matter with you? Yet there is no man in Quraysh richer than your husband!" She replied: "We have no (marital) relationship with him; his day is spent fasting and his night in worship." The narrator said: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and the pure wives mentioned this to him (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: "O Uthman! Do you not have an example in my life?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my father and mother be ransomed for you, what is that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You pray all night and fast during the day, yet your wife has a right over you and your body has a right over you. So pray and also sleep, and fast and also leave off fasting." The narrator said: After this guidance, that woman came to the pure wives again, and she was perfumed and adorned like a bride. They asked (in surprise): "What is this change?" She replied: "We too have been granted (the comfort and joy) that people are granted."
