حَدِيثُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Hadith of Uthman ibn Abi Al-As from the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Hadith 17897
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ صَلَاتِي ، وَبَيْنَ قِرَاءَتِي . قَالَ : " ذَاكَ شَيْطَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ : خَنْزَبٌ ، فَإِذَا أَنْتَ حَسَسْتَهُ ، فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ ، وَاتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ ثَلَاثًا " . قَالَ : فَفَعَلْتُ ذَاكَ ، فَأَذْهَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنِّي . .
On one occasion, Hazrat Uthman bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! (peace be upon him) Satan comes between me and my prayer and recitation." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The name of that Satan is Khanzab. When you feel this, recite 'A'udhu billah' and spit lightly three times to your left." He says, "I did so, and Allah removed it from me." The previous hadith is narrated through this second chain.
Hadith 17898
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَن سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَن يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، عَن عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ الثَّقَفِيِّ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، حَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Sufyan informed us, from Sa‘id al-Jurayri, from Yazid ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Shikhkhir, from ‘Uthman ibn Abi al-‘As al-Thaqafi, who said: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, the state of the shaytan—” and he mentioned its meaning.
Hadith 17899
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ قَوْمَهُ . قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَمَّ قَوْمًا فَلْيُخَفِّفْ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ الضَّعِيفَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَالْمَرِيضَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ ، فَلْيُصَلِّ كَيْفَ شَاءَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Lead your people in prayer, and when you lead, make the prayer short, because among the people are children, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and those with needs. However, whoever prays alone may pray as he wishes.
Hadith 17900
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَن عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَن أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْنَا عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ لِنَعْرِضَ عَلَيْهِ مُصْحَفًا لَنَا عَلَى مُصْحَفِهِ . فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ الْجُمُعَةُ أَمَرَنَا فَاغْتَسَلْنَا ، ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِطِيبٍ فَتَطَيَّبْنَا ، ثُمَّ جِئْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَجَلَسْنَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ ، فَحَدَّثَنَا عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ . ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ، فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَجَلَسْنَا ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " يَكُونُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَمْصَارٍ مِصْرٌ بِمُلْتَقَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ ، وَمِصْرٌ بِالْحِيرَةِ ، وَمِصْرٌ بِالشَّامِ ، فَيَفْزَعُ النَّاسُ ثَلَاثَ فَزَعَاتٍ ، فَيَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ فِي أَعْرَاضِ النَّاسِ ، فَيُهْزِمُ مَنْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ ، فَأَوَّلُ مِصْرٍ يَرِدُهُ الْمِصْرُ الَّذِي بِمُلْتَقَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ ، فَيَصِيرُ أَهْلُهُ ثَلَاثَ فِرَقٍ فِرْقَةٌ تَقُولُ : نُشَامُّهُ ، نَنْظُرُ مَا هُوَ ، وَفِرْقَةٌ تَلْحَقُ بالْأَعْرَابِ ، وَفِرْقَةٌ تَلْحَقُ بِالْمِصْرِ الَّذِي يَلِيهِمْ ، وَمَعَ الدَّجَّالِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا عَلَيْهِمْ السِّيجَانُ ، وَأَكْثَرُ تَبَعِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنِّسَاءُ ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْمِصْرَ الَّذِي يَلِيهِم فَيَصِيرُ أَهْلُهُ ثَلَاثَ فِرَقٍ ، فِرْقَةٌ تَقُولُ : نُشَامُّهُ وَنَنْظُرُ مَا هُوَ ، وَفِرْقَةٌ تَلْحَقُ بالْأَعْرَابِ ، وَفِرْقَةٌ تَلْحَقُ بِالْمِصْرِ الَّذِي يَلِيهِمْ بِغَرْبِيِّ الشَّامِ . وَيَنْحَازُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى عَقَبَةِ أَفِيقٍ ، فَيَبْعَثُونَ سَرْحًا لَهُمْ ، فَيُصَابُ سَرْحُهُمْ ، فَيَشْتَدُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَتُصِيبُهُمْ مَجَاعَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ ، وَجَهْدٌ شَدِيدٌ ، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيُحْرِقُ وَتَرَ قَوْسِهِ فَيَأْكُلُهُ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّحَرِ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَتَاكُمْ الْغَوْثُ ، ثَلَاثًا ، فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ : إِنَّ هَذَا لَصَوْتُ رَجُلٍ شَبْعَانَ ، وَيَنْزِلُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ أَمِيرُهُمْ : يَا رُوحَ اللَّهِ ، تَقَدَّمْ صَلِّ . فَيَقُولُ : هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ أُمَرَاءُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ، فَيَتَقَدَّمُ أَمِيرُهُمْ فَيُصَلِّي ، فَإِذَا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ، أَخَذَ عِيسَى حَرْبَتَهُ ، فَيَذْهَبُ نَحْوَ الدَّجَّالِ ، فَإِذَا رَآهُ الدَّجَّالُ ، ذَابَ كَمَا يَذُوبُ الرَّصَاصُ ، فَيَضَعُ حَرْبَتَهُ بَيْنَ ثَنْدُوَتِهِ ، فَيَقْتُلُهُ وَيَنْهَزِمُ أَصْحَابُهُ ، فَلَيْسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَيْءٌ يُوَارِي مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الشَّجَرَةَ لَتَقُولُ : يَا مُؤْمِنُ هَذَا كَافِرٌ . وَيَقُولُ الْحَجَرُ : يَا مُؤْمِنُ هَذَا كَافِرٌ " . .
Abu Nadrah says that once on a Friday we came to Hazrat Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) so that we could compare the Mushaf with his Mushaf. When the time for Friday approached, he ordered us and we performed ghusl (ritual bath), then perfume was brought to us, which we applied, then we went to the mosque and sat with a man, who began to narrate to us hadiths about the Dajjal. Meanwhile, Hazrat Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) also arrived, and we stood up out of respect for him. He told us to sit and said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the Muslims will have three cities: one city will be located at the junction of two seas, one in Hira, and one in Sham (Syria). Three times, events of fear and panic will occur among the people, then the Dajjal will emerge and he will defeat the people of the East. Then the first city he will attack will be the one located at the junction of two seas. The people there will be divided into three groups: one group will stand up and say, "Let us go to him and see what he is," the second group will join the villagers, and the third group will move to a nearby city. At that time, there will be seventy thousand people with the Dajjal, who will be wearing green cloaks, and most of his followers will be Jews and women. Then he will turn to the second city, and the people there will also be divided into three groups (as mentioned before). In this way, the Muslims will gather in a valley called Afiq. Then they will send a detachment to confront him, but all of them will be martyred. At that time, the Muslims will be in great hardship, facing severe hunger and extreme distress, to the extent that a man will burn the string of his bow and begin to eat it. While they are in this state, one morning a caller will announce: "O people! Your helper has arrived." The people will say among themselves, "This is the voice of a well-fed man." At that time, near the time of Fajr prayer, Hazrat Isa (Jesus, peace be upon him) will descend. The leader of the Muslims (Imam Mahdi, may Allah be pleased with him) will request him, "O Spirit of Allah! Come forward and lead the prayer." He will reply, "The people of this Ummah are leaders over one another, so their leader should lead the prayer." When Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) finishes the prayer, he will take his spear and set out towards the Dajjal. When the Dajjal sees him, he will begin to melt like lead. Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) will strike his spear between his chest and kill him. His followers will be defeated, and on that day there will be nothing that will hide them behind itself, even the trees will say, "O believer! Here is a disbeliever," and the stones will say, "O believer! Here is a disbeliever." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
Hadith 17901
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَن أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْنَا عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ لِنَعْرِضَ عَلَيْهِ مُصْحَفًا لَنَا عَلَى مُصْحَفِهِ ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَجُنُّ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا " . وَقَالَ : " ذَابَ كَمَا يَذُوبُ الرَّصَاصُ ".
Narrated to us by ‘Affan, narrated to us by Hammad ibn Salamah, narrated to us by ‘Ali ibn Zayd, from Abu Nadrah, who said: We came to ‘Uthman ibn Abi al-‘As to compare our mushaf with his mushaf, and he mentioned its meaning, except that he said: "So on that day, nothing will shield any of them." And he said: "It melted as lead melts."
Hadith 17902
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَن سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، أَنَّ مُطَرِّفًا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ الثَّقَفِيَّ دَعَا لَهُ بِلَبَنٍ لِيَسْقِيَهُ ، قَالَ : مُطَرِّفٌ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ . فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ ، كَجُنَّةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ " .

Hadith 17903
وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " صِيَامٌ حَسَنٌ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ " .

It is narrated from Hazrat Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Every night a caller announces that I will not ask anyone else about My servants. Who is there who will supplicate to Me so that I may accept his supplication? Who is there who will ask of Me so that I may grant him? This announcement continues until the break of dawn, and who is there who will seek forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?

Hadith 17906
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَن سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَن أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ ، عَن مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، اجْعَلْنِي إِمَامَ قَوْمِي . قَالَ : " اقْتَدِ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ وَاتَّخِذْ مُؤَذِّنًا لَا يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that I once submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Appoint me as the imam of my people." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You are the imam of your people. Lead the prayer while considering the weakest among them, and appoint a muezzin who does not take any wage for his call to prayer."
Hadith 17907
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الْهَاشِمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَدِينِيَّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ خُصَيْفَةَ ، عَن عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ السُّلَمِيِّ ، أَنَّ نَافِعَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ أَخَذَهُ وَجَعٌ قَدْ كَادَ يُبْطِلُهُ ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ لَهُ : " ضَعْ يَمِينَكَ عَلَى مَكَانِكَ الَّذِي تَشْتَكِي ، فَامْسَحْ بِهَا سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ " ، وَقُلْ : " أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ ، فِي كُلِّ مَسْحَةٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uthman bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I suffered from such an ailment that brought me close to death.

I did so, and Allah removed my pain.
Hadith 17908
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، عَن ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ يَعْنِي مُحَمَّدًا ، عَنْ عُبَيِدِ اللَّهِ ، أَوْ عُبَدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ : دُعِيَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ إِلَى خِتَانٍ ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يُجِيبَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّا كُنَّا لَا نَأْتِي الْخِتَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا نُدْعَى لَهُ " .
Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Uthman bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) was invited to the circumcision of a child, but he refused to go.

Hadith 17909
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَن أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ ، عَن مُطَرِّفٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ، فَأَمَرَ لِي بِلَبَنِ لِقْحَةٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي صَائِمٌ . فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ كَجُنَّةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ . وَصِيَامٌ حَسَنٌ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uthman bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Fasting is a shield just like you use a shield in the battlefield. The best fast is three days in every month. And the last advice the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me when sending me to Taif was this: O Uthman! Lead the prayer briefly because among the people there are elderly and those in need. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
Hadith 17910
قَالَ : قَالَ : وَكَانَ آخِرُ شَيْءٍ عَهِدَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ قَالَ : " جَوِّزْ فِي صَلَاتِكَ وَاقْدُرْ النَّاسَ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ ، فَإِنَّ مِنْهُمْ الصَّغِيرَ وَالْكَبِيرَ ، وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ " . .
He said: He said: And the last thing the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, entrusted to me was that he said: "Make your prayer light and consider the people according to the weakest among them, for among them are the young, the old, the weak, and those with needs."
Hadith 17911

Yunus narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from al-Jurayri, from Abu al-‘Ala’, from Mutarrif, who said: I entered upon ‘Uthman ibn Abi al-‘As, and he mentioned its meaning.
Hadith 17912
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، وَعَفَّانُ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَامِرٍ اسْتَعْمَلَ كِلَابَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ عَلَى الَأَبْلَةِ ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ فِي أَرْضِهِ ، فَأَتَاهُ عُثْمَانُ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّيْلِ سَاعَةً تُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ : هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ " . قَالَا جَمِيعًا : " وَإِنَّ دَاوُدَ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ : لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَحَدٌ شَيْئًا ، إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ سَاحِرًا أَوْ عَشَّارًا " . فَدَعَا كِلَابٌ بِقُرْقُورٍ ، فَرَكِبَ فِيهِ وَانْحَدَرَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَامِرٍ ، فَقَالَ : دُونَكَ عَمَلَكَ . قَالَ : لِمَ ؟ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا.
Ahsan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Ibn Amir appointed Kilab bin Umayyah as the governor of Aylah. At that time, Hazrat Uthman bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) was on his land. He came to Kilab and said, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that during the night there is an hour in which the gates of the heavens are opened, and a caller announces: 'Is there anyone who asks so that I may give to him? Is there anyone who supplicates so that I may accept his supplication? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness for his sins so that I may forgive him?'" The narrator further says that Dawood once went out at night and said, "Whoever asks Allah for anything, Allah will surely grant it to him, except if he is a magician or a tax collector." Upon hearing this hadith, Kilab called for his mount, rode it, went to Ibn Amir, and said to him, "Take back your position." When he asked the reason, Kilab replied, "Hazrat Uthman bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated such a hadith to us."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ، أَنَّ وَفْدَ ثَقِيفٍ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَنْزَلَهُمْ الْمَسْجِدَ لِيَكُونَ أَرَقَّ لِقُلُوبِهِمْ ، فَاشْتَرَطُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا يُحْشَرُوا وَلَا يُعْشَرُوا وَلَا يُجَبُّوا ، وَلَا يُسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرُهُمْ . قَالَ : فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ لَكُمْ أَنْ لَا تُحْشَرُوا ، وَلَا تُعْشَرُوا ، وَلَا يُسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ غَيْرُكُمْ " . وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا خَيْرَ فِي دِينٍ لَا رُكُوعَ فِيهِ " . قَالَ : وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عَلِّمْنِي الْقُرْآنَ ، وَاجْعَلْنِي إِمَامَ قَوْمِي.
It is narrated from Hazrat Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that a delegation of Banu Thaqif came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) accommodated them in the mosque so that their hearts might soften. They presented these conditions before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for accepting Islam: that they would not participate in jihad, would not give zakat, would not perform prayer, and no outsider would be appointed as their leader. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Your condition is accepted that you will not be called for jihad, zakat will not be taken from you (before a year passes or in case you are not liable), and no outsider will be appointed as your leader. 18075. And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There is no good in that religion in which there is no bowing (prayer). 18076. Hazrat Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Teach me the Qur'an and appoint me as the imam of my people.

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُرَيْمٌ ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا إِذْ شَخَصَ بِبَصَرِهِ ، ثُمَّ صَوَّبَهُ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يُلْزِقَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ شَخَصَ بِبَصَرِهِ فَقَالَ : " أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَضَعَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ بِهَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ سورة النحل آية 90 " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uthman bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), when suddenly his eyes became wide open and he bent down so much that he was about to touch the ground. After a short while, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) raised his eyes and said: Just now, Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said that I should place this verse at such and such place in such and such surah: "Indeed, Allah commands justice, good conduct, and giving to relatives..."
