اُردوEn
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ ، وَمَا إِخَالُهُ يُتَّهَمُ عَلَيْنَا ، قَالَ : أَصَابَ عُثْمَانَ رُعَافٌ سَنَةَ الرُّعَافِ ، حَتَّى تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ الْحَجِّ وَأَوْصَى ، فدخل عليه رجل من قريش ، فقال : استخلف ، قَالَ : وَقَالُوهُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : مَنْ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لَهُ الْأَوَّلُ ، وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : قَالُوا الزُّبَيْرَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، إِنْ كَانَ لَخَيْرَهُمْ مَا عَلِمْتُ ، وَأَحَبَّهُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
It is narrated from Marwan that during the "Year of Nosebleed," blood once flowed profusely from the nose of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) (which is called a nosebleed), to the extent that he could not even go for Hajj and, having lost hope of life, he made his will. During this time, a man from the Quraysh came to him and said, "Appoint someone as your successor (caliph)." He asked, "Is this also the opinion of the people?" He replied, "Yes!" He asked, "Whose opinion is this among the people?" At this, he remained silent. After that, another man came and repeated the words of the first man, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him the same answers. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "Whom do the people want to appoint as caliph?" He said, "Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him)." He said, "Yes! By the One in Whose hand is my soul, to my knowledge, he was the best and the most beloved in the sight of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
