(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا
بِشْرُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبِي ، عَنِ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّ
عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ
عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، قَالَ لَهُ : ابْنَ أَخِي ، أَدْرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : لَا ، وَلَكِنْ خَلَصَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ ، وَالْيَقِينِ مَا يَخْلُصُ إِلَى الْعَذْرَاءِ فِي سِتْرِهَا ، قَالَ : فَتَشَهَّدَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحَقِّ ، فَكُنْتُ مِمَّنْ اسْتَجَابَ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ ، وَآمَنَ بِمَا بُعِثَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ هَاجَرْتُ الْهِجْرَتَيْنِ كَمَا قُلْتُ ، وَنِلْتُ صِهْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَبَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَصَيْتُهُ وَلَا غَشَشْتُهُ ، حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
Ubaidullah bin Adi bin Al-Khiyar says that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "Nephew! Did you meet the Prophet (peace be upon him)?" I replied, "No! But I do have pure information about him and such certainty as a virgin girl has in her veil." Upon this, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), after praising Allah and bearing witness to the two testimonies, said: "Allah Almighty sent Muhammad (peace be upon him) with the truth. I was among those who responded to the call of Allah and His Messenger, and I was also among those who believed in the Shariah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Then I migrated to Abyssinia both times. I also had the honor of being the son-in-law of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and I pledged allegiance at the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace be upon him). By Allah! I never disobeyed him nor deceived him, until Allah called him to Himself."
