Hadith 399
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي الْفَارِسِيَّ . قَالَ أَبِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ : وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ : مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ عَمَدْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَنْفَالِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي ، وَإِلَى بَرَاءَةٌ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمِئِينَ ، فَقَرَنْتُمْ بَيْنَهُمَا ، وَلَمْ تَكْتُبُوا ، قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ : بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرًا : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، وَوَضَعْتُمُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ ، مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ مِمَّا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ الزَّمَانُ يُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّوَرِ ذَوَاتِ الْعَدَدِ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْءُ يَدْعُو بَعْضَ مَنْ يَكْتُبُ عِنْدَهُ ، يَقُولُ : " ضَعُوا هَذَا فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا " ، وَيُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَاتُ ، فَيَقُولُ : " ضَعُوا هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا " ، وَيُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَةُ ، فَيَقُولُ : " ضَعُوا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا " ، وَكَانَتْ الْأَنْفَالُ مِنْ أَوَائِلِ مَا أُنْزِلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، وَبَرَاءَةٌ مِنْ آخِرِ الْقُرْآنِ ، فَكَانَتْ قِصَّتُهَا شَبِيهًا بِقِصَّتِهَا ، فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا ، وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا ، فَمِنْ ثَمَّ قَرَنْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا ، وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرًا : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ : وَوَضَعْتُهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ .
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that once I asked Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): What compelled you people to combine Surah Anfal, which is from the Mathani, with Surah Bara’ah, which is from the Mi’in, and not write even a line of “Bismillah” between them, and you counted both among the “Seven Long Surahs”? Why did you do this? Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: When revelation was being sent down to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), sometimes several surahs would be revealed together, and it was the habit of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when any revelation was sent down, he would call one of his scribes and have it written, and would say: Place this in such-and-such surah at such-and-such place. Sometimes several verses would be revealed, and on that occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would indicate that these verses should be placed in this surah, and sometimes only a single verse would be revealed, but even then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would specify its place. Surah Anfal was revealed in the early period of Madinah, while Surah Bara’ah, in terms of revelation, is among the last parts of the Noble Qur’an, and the events and rulings of both are extremely similar to each other. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world and could not clarify to us whether it is a part of it or not. I assumed that Surah Bara’ah is a part of Surah Anfal, so I combined both and did not write the line of “Bismillah” between them, and counted them among the “Seven Long Surahs.”

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، أَنَّ حُمْرَانَ أَخْبَرَهُ ، قَالَ : تَوَضَّأَ عُثْمَانُ عَلَى الْبَلَاطِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَوْلَا آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مَا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ ، سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَصَلَّى ، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا " .
Humran reports that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sat on a stone platform and performed ablution. After that, he said: I am narrating to you a hadith which I heard directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If there were not a verse in the Book of Allah (which contains condemnation for concealing knowledge), I would never have narrated this hadith to you: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then enters the mosque and offers prayer, all his sins will be forgiven until he offers the next prayer."

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدًا يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ حَاجًّا ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ ، قِيلَ لِعَلِيٍّ : " إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَهَى عَنِ التَّمَتُّعِ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِأَصْحَابِهِ : إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ فَارْتَحِلُوا ، فَأَهَلَّ عَلِيٌّ وَأَصْحَابُهُ بِعُمْرَةٍ ، فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُ عُثْمَانُ فِي ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ : أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ التَّمَتُّعِ بِالْعُمْرَةِ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَمَتَّعَ ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى " .
Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with the intention of Hajj. After traveling some distance, someone went to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) has prohibited Hajj Tamattu'. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions: "When he departs, you also set out." Thus, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions donned the Ihram for Umrah. When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) found out, he did not say anything to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this matter. Rather, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) himself asked him, "I have heard that you prohibit Hajj Tamattu'?" He replied, "Yes!" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Did you not hear about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing Hajj Tamattu'?" He replied, "Why not."

Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) himself said that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to a group of young emigrants and said, "Whoever among you is able should get married, for it lowers the gaze and protects the private parts. And whoever is not able, he should fast, for it diminishes desire."

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ : أَنَّهُ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ، وَمَضْمَضَ ، وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ، وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ ، فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ : أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَمَّا أَضْحَكَنِي ؟ فَقَالُوا : مِمَّ ضَحِكْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ قَرِيبًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ كَمَا تَوَضَّأْتُ ، ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي مَا أَضْحَكَنِي ؟ " فَقَالُوا : مَا أَضْحَكَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ ، فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ، حَطَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُلَّ خَطِيئَةٍ أَصَابَهَا بِوَجْهِهِ ، فَإِذَا غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ ، وَإِنْ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ ، وَإِذَا طَهَّرَ قَدَمَيْهِ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ " .
Humran says that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) called for water to perform ablution. He rinsed his mouth, put water in his nose, washed his face three times, washed both arms three times, wiped his head, and also wiped over the upper part of his feet, and then he laughed. Then he asked his companions, "Why do you not ask me the reason for my laughter?" The people said, "O Commander of the Faithful! You tell us why you laughed." He said, "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) call for water in the same way, sit near this place, and perform ablution in the same manner as I did. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also laughed and asked his companions, 'Why do you not ask me the reason for my laughter?' The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! What made you laugh?' He said, 'When a person calls for water to perform ablution and washes his face, Allah forgives all the sins committed by his face. When he washes his arms, the same happens. When he wipes his head, the same happens. And when he cleans his feet, the same happens.'"
Hadith 416
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ رَبَاحٍ قَالَ : زَوَّجَنِي أَهْلِي أَمَةً لَهُمْ رُومِيَّةً ، فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا ، فَوَلَدَتْ لِي غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي ، فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا ، فَوَلَدَتْ لِي غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي ، فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ طَبِنَ لَهَا غُلَامٌ لِأَهْلِي رُومِيٌّ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : يُوحَنَّسُ ، فَرَاطَنَهَا بِلِسَانِهِ ، قَالَ : فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا كَأَنَّهُ وَزَغَةٌ مِنَ الْوَزَغَاتِ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَتْ : هُوَ لِيُوحَنَّسَ ، قَالَ : فَرُفِعْنَا إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ مَهْدِيٌّ : أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ : سَأَلَهُمَا فَاعْتَرَفَا ، فَقَالَ : أَتَرْضَيَانِ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ بَيْنَكُمَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : " فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى أَنَّ : الْوَلَدَ لِلْفِرَاشِ ، وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرَ " . قَالَ مَهْدِيٌّ : وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ : جَلَدَهَا وَجَلَدَهُ ، وَكَانَا مَمْلُوكَيْنِ .
Rabah says that my master married me to his Roman slave girl. I went to her, and a dark-skinned boy like me was born to her. I named him Abdullah. When the opportunity arose again, another dark-skinned boy was born, and I named him Ubaidullah. Coincidentally, my wife became the object of affection for my master's Roman slave, whose name was "Yuhannas." He won her over in his own language, so this time the child that was born resembled the complexion of the Romans. I asked my wife, "What is this?" She said, "This is Yuhannas's child." We presented this matter before Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him. He said, « کہ کیا تم اس» "Are you content that I judge between you with the same decision that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave?" The decision of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is that the child belongs to the owner of the bed, and for the adulterer there are stones.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : أَشْرَفَ عُثْمَانُ مِنَ الْقَصْرِ ، وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ ، فَقَالَ : أَنْشُدُ بِاللَّهِ مَنْ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حِرَاءٍ إِذْ اهْتَزَّ الْجَبَلُ ، فَرَكَلَهُ بِقَدَمِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اسْكُنْ حِرَاءُ ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ ، أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ ، أَوْ شَهِيدٌ " ، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ؟ فَانْتَشَدَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ . قَالَ : أَنْشُدُ بِاللَّهِ مَنْ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ بَيْعَةِ الرِّضْوَانِ ، إِذْ بَعَثَنِي إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، قَالَ : " هَذِهِ يَدِي ، وَهَذِهِ يَدُ عُثْمَانَ " ، فَبَايَعَ لِي ؟ فَانْتَشَدَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ . قَالَ : أَنْشُدُ بِاللَّهِ مَنْ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ يُوَسِّعُ لَنَا بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، بِبَيْتٍ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ؟ " ، فَابْتَعْتُهُ مِنْ مَالِي فَوَسَّعْتُ بِهِ الْمَسْجِدَ ؟ فَانْتَشَدَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ . قَالَ : وَأَنْشُدُ بِاللَّهِ مَنْ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ يُنْفِقُ الْيَوْمَ نَفَقَةً مُتَقَبَّلَةً ؟ " فَجَهَّزْتُ نِصْفَ الْجَيْشِ مِنْ مَالِي ؟ قَالَ : فَانْتَشَدَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ . وَأَنْشُدُ بِاللَّهِ مَنْ شَهِدَ رُومَةَ يُبَاعُ مَاؤُهَا ابْنَ السَّبِيلِ ، فَابْتَعْتُهَا مِنْ مَالِي ، فَأَبَحْتُهَا لِابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ؟ قَالَ : فَانْتَشَدَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ .
Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman says that during the days when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged, once he looked out from the upper chamber of his house and said: I ask those who were present in the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him), by Allah, regarding the "Day of Hira", when Mount Hira began to shake and the Prophet (peace be upon him) struck it with his blessed foot and said: "O Mount Hira! Be still, for there is none upon you except a Prophet, a Siddiq, and two martyrs." Was I present on that occasion? Many people affirmed this for him. Then he said: I ask those who were present in the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him), by Allah, regarding the "Pledge of Ridwan", when the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent me to the polytheists of Makkah and, considering his own hand as my hand, took the pledge to avenge my blood on my behalf? Many people again affirmed this for him. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I ask those who were present in the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him), by Allah, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Who will expand this mosque of ours in exchange for a house in Paradise?" Did I not buy land with my wealth and expand this mosque? People affirmed this for him as well. Then he said: I ask the companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them), by Allah, regarding the "Army of Difficulty" (which is another name for the Battle of Tabuk), when the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Who will spend today? What he gives will be accepted." Did I not provide equipment for half the army with my wealth? People affirmed this for him as well. Then he said: I ask the companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them), by Allah, regarding the "Well of Rumah", whose water was sold even to travelers, did I not buy it with my wealth and dedicate it for travelers as well? Is this not so? People affirmed this for him as well.

Nabiyah bin Wahb says that Umar bin Ubaidullah once asked Sayyiduna Aban bin Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) about this issue: Can a muhrim apply kohl to his eyes? He sent back the reply that he can apply kohl of sabr (aloe), (he should be patient and not apply kohl until he comes out of ihram), because I heard Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate such a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with the intention of Hajj. When he had covered some part of the journey, someone went to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) has prohibited Hajj Tamattu'. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions: "When he departs, you also set out." Thus, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions donned the Ihram for Umrah. When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) found out, he did not say anything to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this matter. Rather, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) himself asked him, "I have heard that you prohibit Hajj Tamattu'?" He replied, "Yes!" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not perform Hajj Tamattu'?" The narrator says: I do not know what reply Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ ، قَالَ : أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ ، إِذْ جَاءَهُ مَوْلَاهُ يَرْفَأُ ، فَقَالَ : هَذَا عُثْمَانُ ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَسَعْدٌ ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ ، قَالَ : وَلَا أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ طَلْحَةَ أَمْ لَا ، يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ عَلَيْكَ ، قَالَ : ائْذَنْ لَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ مَكَثَ سَاعَةً ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : هَذَا الْعَبَّاسُ ، وَعَلِيٌّ ، يَسْتَأْذِنَانِ عَلَيْكَ ، قَالَ : ائْذَنْ لَهُمَا ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْعَبَّاسُ ، قَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، اقْضِ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ هَذَا ، وَهُمَا حِينَئِذٍ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِيمَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ : اقْضِ بَيْنَهُمَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَأَرِحْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ ، فَقَدْ طَالَتْ خُصُومَتُهُمَا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَنْشُدُكُمْ اللَّهَ الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ ، أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا نُورَثُ ، مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ " ؟ قَالُوا : قَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ لَهُمَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَإِنِّي سَأُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ هَذَا الْفَيْءِ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَصَّ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ غَيْرَهُ ، فَقَالَ : وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْهُمْ فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَلا رِكَابٍ سورة الحشر آية 6 ، وَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاصَّةً ، وَاللَّهِ مَا احْتَازَهَا دُونَكُمْ ، وَلَا اسْتَأْثَرَ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ ، لَقَدْ قَسَمَهَا بَيْنَكُمْ ، وَبَثَّهَا فِيكُمْ ، حَتَّى بَقِيَ مِنْهَا هَذَا الْمَالُ ، فَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ مِنْهُ سَنَةً ، ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ مَجْعَلَ مَالِ اللَّهِ ، فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَنَا وَلِيُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَهُ ، أَعْمَلُ فِيهَا بِمَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا .
Malik bin Aws bin Hadthan says that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for me, and while we were sitting, Sayyiduna Umar’s slave, whose name was “Yarfa,” came in and said, “Sayyiduna Uthman, Abdur Rahman, Sa’d, and Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with them) are seeking permission to enter?” He said, “Let them in.” After a short while, the slave came again and said, “Sayyiduna Abbas and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) are seeking permission to enter?” He said, “Let them in as well.” As soon as Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) entered, he said, “O Commander of the Faithful! Decide between me and him.” At that time, their dispute was about the property of Fay’ obtained from Banu Nadir. The people also said, “O Commander of the Faithful! Decide between them and grant each relief from the other, for their dispute is only increasing.” Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “I ask you by Allah, by whose command the heavens and the earth are established, do you know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Inheritance is not established in our property; whatever we leave behind is all charity?’” The people replied in the affirmative. Then he asked the same question to Sayyiduna Abbas and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), and they also affirmed it. After that, he said, “I will inform you of the reality of this. Allah gave this property of Fay’ exclusively to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); no one else was given anything from it, and He said: «وما افاء الله على رسول منهم فما او جفتم عليه من خيل ولا ركا ب» Therefore, this property was specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but by Allah! He did not keep it for himself to the exclusion of you, nor did he prefer himself over you with this property. He distributed this property among you until only a little remained, from which he would provide for his family for a year, and if anything was left over from that, he would distribute it in the way of Allah. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I am responsible and caretaker of his property, and I will follow the same method as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to follow regarding it.”
Hadith 426
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مَنَّاحٍ ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ : أَنَّهُ رَأَى جَنَازَةً فَقَامَ إِلَيْهَا ، وَقَالَ : " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى جَنَازَةً ، فَقَامَ لَهَا " .
Aban bin Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a funeral and stood up, and said: I have also seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) standing at this occasion.
Hadith 427
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَارِظٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا ، وَعُثْمَانَ رضي الله عنهما ، في يوم الفطر والنحر يصليان ، ثم ينصرفان ، فيذكران الناس ، فسمعتهما يقولان : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَوْمِ هَذَيْنِ الْيَوْمَيْنِ " .
Abu Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that on both occasions of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, I had the opportunity to be present with Sayyiduna Uthman and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both). Both of these noble companions would first lead the prayer, and after completing the prayer, they would advise the people. I heard both of them say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on these two days.
Hadith 428
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْجُنْدَعِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حُمْرَانَ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانَ يَتَوَضَّأُ ، فَأَهْرَاقَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا ، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ مِثْلَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ مَعْمَرٍ .
It is narrated from Humran, who was the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), that I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) performing ablution: he poured water over his hands three times, put water into his nose three times, rinsed his mouth three times, and mentioned the complete hadith which has already been mentioned earlier.
Hadith 429
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ : أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : أَلَا أُرِيكُمْ كَيْفَ كَانَ وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالُوا : بَلَى ، " فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ ، فَتَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا ، وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثًا ، وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ، وَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْأُذُنَيْنِ مِنَ الرَّأْسِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قَدْ تَحَرَّيْتُ لَكُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) once said to those present with him, "Shall I not show you how the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed ablution?" The people said, "Why not!" So he called for water, rinsed his mouth three times, put water into his nose three times, washed his face three times, washed both his arms three times each, wiped his head, and washed his feet. Then he said, "Know that the ears are part of the head." Then he said, "I have demonstrated ablution before you exactly as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed it, with great care."
Hadith 430
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ ، عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ تَبَسَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مِمَّا ضَحِكْتُ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا تَوَضَّأْتُ ، ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مِمَّ ضَحِكْتُ ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْنَا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَتَمَّ وُضُوءَهُ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَأَتَمَّ صَلَاتَهُ ، خَرَجَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ كَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ " .
Humran says that once we were with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he called for water and performed ablution, and after finishing he began to smile and said: "Do you know why I am smiling?" Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also performed ablution in the same way as I did, and he also smiled and asked: "Do you know why I am smiling?" We said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "When a servant performs ablution and completes it well, and then starts the prayer and performs it perfectly, then after finishing the prayer, he becomes like the day his mother gave birth to him."
Hadith 431
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ شَقِيقٍ ، يَقُولُ : " كَانَ عُثْمَانُ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ ، وَعَلِيٌّ يلبي بِهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ قَوْلًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ : لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : أَجَلْ ، وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ " ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : فَقُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ : مَا كَانَ خَوْفُهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : لَا أَدْرِي .
Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) used to prevent people from performing Hajj Tamattu', and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give the fatwa of its permissibility. On one occasion, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) must have said something to him, so Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do you even know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it this way, yet you still prevent it?" Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What you say is correct, but we fear (that people will go to their wives at night and in the morning be wet from the water of janabah (major ritual impurity) and then enter into the state of ihram for Hajj)."
Hadith 432
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ : " كَانَ عُثْمَانُ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ ، وَعَلِيٌّ يَأْمُرُ بِهَا ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ لِعَلِيٍّ قَوْلًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : أَجَلْ ، وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ " .
Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) used to prevent people from performing Hajj Tamattu', and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give the fatwa for its permissibility.

Hadith 433
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا كَهْمَسٌ ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ : إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا كَانَ يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ إِلَّا الضِّنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " حَرَسُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ، أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ لَيْلَةٍ يُقَامُ لَيْلُهَا ، وَيُصَامُ نَهَارُهَا " .
Once, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon from the pulpit and said: I am narrating to you a hadith which I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not out of miserliness that I would refrain from conveying it to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Standing guard for one night in the path of Allah is superior to a thousand nights of standing in prayer and fasting during the day.
Hadith 434
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْكَبِيرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever participates in the construction of a mosque for the pleasure of Allah, Allah builds for him a similar house in Paradise.
Hadith 435
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَارِظٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا ، وَعُثْمَانَ يُصَلِّيَانِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَالْأَضْحَى ، ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفَانِ يُذَكِّرَانِ النَّاسَ ، قَالَ : وَسَمِعْتُهُمَا يَقُولَانِ : " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ صِيَامِ هَذَيْنِ الْيَوْمَيْنِ " . قَالَ : قَالَ : وسَمِعْت عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبْقَى مِنْ نُسُكِكُمْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَيْءٌ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ " .

Both of them would first lead the prayer, and after finishing the prayer, they would advise the people. I heard both of them say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on these two days. And I also heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating the meat of the sacrifice after three days.
Hadith 436
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ دَارَةَ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : فَسَمِعَنِي أُمَضْمِضُ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَبَّيْكَ ، قَالَ : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ بِالْمَقَاعِدِ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ ، " فَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا ، وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا ، وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَهَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Muhammad bin Abdullah says that I came to Ibn Darah, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He heard the sound of me rinsing my mouth and called me by name. I replied, "Labbaik." He said, "Shall I not show you the way of ablution (wudu) as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did?" I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) performing ablution while sitting on a bench, in which he rinsed his mouth three times, put water into his nose three times, washed his face three times, washed both arms three times each, wiped his head three times (and according to most narrations, once), and washed his feet. Then he said, "Whoever wants to see the way of ablution of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), let him know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ablution in this manner."
Hadith 437
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَعَفَّانُ ، المعنى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ فِي الدَّارِ ، فَدَخَلَ مَدْخَلًا كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَهُ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَهُ مَنْ عَلَى الْبَلَاطِ ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ ذَلِكَ الْمَدْخَلَ ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُمْ يَتَوَعَّدُونِي بِالْقَتْلِ آنِفًا ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، قَالَ : وَبِمَ يَقْتُلُونَنِي ؟ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ : رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ ، أَوْ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ ، أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا فَيُقْتَلُ بِهَا " ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَحْبَبْتُ أَنَّ لِي بِدِينِي بَدَلًا مُنْذُ هَدَانِي اللَّهُ ، وَلَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا فِي إِسْلَامٍ قَطُّ ، وَلَا قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا ، فَبِمَ يَقْتُلُونَنِي ؟
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah bin Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the days when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged in his house, we were with him. For a short while, he entered a room, and those sitting on the bench could also hear what he was saying. In the same way, once he entered that room, and after a short while, he came out and said, "These people have just now threatened to kill me." We said, "O Leader of the Believers! May Allah suffice you and protect you from them." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "For what crime would these people kill me? When I have heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that it is not lawful to shed the blood of a Muslim except in one of three cases: a man who becomes an apostate after accepting Islam, or a married person who commits adultery, or a murderer who is killed in retaliation for the one he killed. By Allah! Since Allah has guided me, I have never preferred any other religion over this religion. As for Islam, let alone that, even in the days of ignorance I never committed adultery, nor have I killed anyone. Then why do these people want to kill me?"
Hadith 438
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ، قَالَ : إِنِّي لَمَعَ عُثْمَانَ فِي الدَّارِ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ ، وَقَالَ : كُنَّا نَدْخُلُ مَدْخَلًا . . . فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ مِثْلَهُ ، وَقَالَ : قَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ . . . فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ مِثْلَهُ ، أَوْ نَحْوَهُ .
