اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ ، يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنِّي كَتَمْتُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَرَاهِيَةَ تَفَرُّقِكُمْ عَنِّي ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمُوهُ ، لِيَخْتَارَ امْرُؤٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مَا بَدَا لَهُ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ " .
Abu Salih, who was the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), says: I heard Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) saying on the pulpit during a sermon: O people! Until now, I have not narrated to you a hadith that I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so that you would not separate from me, but now I consider it appropriate to narrate it to you so that everyone may choose what he deems suitable. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Standing guard for one day in the way of Allah is better than standing guard for a thousand days elsewhere.
