Hadith 537

(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، قَالَ : زَعَمَ أَبُو الْمِقْدَامِ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى رِدَائِهِ ، فَأَتَاهُ سَقَّاءَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَضَى بَيْنَهُمَا ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ حَسَنُ الْوَجْهِ ، بِوَجْنَتِهِ نَكَتَاتُ جُدَرِيٍّ ، وَإِذَا شَعْرُهُ قَدْ كَسَا ذِرَاعَيْهِ .
Hasan bin Abi al-Hasan says that once I entered the Prophet’s Mosque, and my eyes suddenly fell upon Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He had made his cloak into a pillow and was reclining against it. Two men came to him arguing, and he settled the matter between them. Then I approached him and looked at him closely; he was a handsome and beautiful man, there were some marks of smallpox on his cheeks, and hair covered his arms.
