Hadith 439
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، قَالَ : دَعَا عُثْمَانُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فِيهِمْ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَائِلُكُمْ ، وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَصْدُقُونِي ، نَشَدْتُكُمْ اللَّهَ : أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُؤْثِرُ قُرَيْشًا عَلَى سَائِرِ النَّاسِ ، وَيُؤْثِرُ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ عَلَى سَائِرِ قُرَيْشٍ ؟ فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : لَوْ أَنَّ بِيَدِي مَفَاتِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ لَأَعْطَيْتُهَا بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَى طَلْحَةَ ، وَالزُّبَيْرِ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمَا عَنْهُ ، يَعْنِي عَمَّارًا ؟ أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آخِذًا بِيَدِي نَتَمَشَّى فِي الْبَطْحَاءِ ، حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَعَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُونَ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، الدَّهْرَ هَكَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اصْبِرْ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِآلِ يَاسِرٍ ، وَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ " .
Salim bin Abi Al-Ja'd (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) called some of the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), among whom was Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him), and said: "I want to ask you some questions and have you confirm a few things. I ask you by Allah, do you not know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give preference to the Quraysh over other people, and to Banu Hashim over all of Quraysh?" The people remained silent. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If the keys to Paradise were in my hand, I would give them to Banu Umayyah so that all of them could enter Paradise." (Having kinship ties is a natural thing; this was actually an answer to the question people used to raise against Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding favoritism towards relatives.) After this, he addressed Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Shall I tell you something about him, i.e., Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him)? I was once walking, holding the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), until we reached the valley of Batha, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to his parents, where they were being subjected to various punishments. Ammar's father, upon seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Will we always remain like this?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Be patient,' then he supplicated: 'O Allah! Forgive the family of Yasir.' I too am now being patient."
Hadith 440
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُرَيْثُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي حُمْرَانُ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " كُلُّ شَيْءٍ سِوَى ظِلِّ بَيْتٍ ، وَجِلْفِ الْخُبْزِ ، وَثَوْبٍ يُوَارِي عَوْرَتَهُ ، وَالْمَاءِ ، فَمَا فَضَلَ عَنْ هَذَا فَلَيْسَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ فِيهِ حَقٌّ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A person has no right to anything except the shade of a house, pieces of dry bread, clothing sufficient to cover the private parts, and water."
Hadith 441
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ ذَكَرَهُ حُمَيْدٌ بِصَلَاحٍ ، ذَكَرَ أَنَّ عَمَّهُ أخْبَرَهُ : أَنَّهُ رَأَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْبَابِ الثَّانِي مِنْ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَعَا بِكَتِفٍ فَتَعَرَّقَهَا ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ، وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " جَلَسْتُ مَجْلِسَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَكَلْتُ مَا أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَصَنَعْتُ مَا صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Once, a man saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting near the second gate of the mosque. He ordered the meat of the shoulder and began to eat the meat off the bone. Then, standing just like that, he performed the prayer without renewing his ablution, and said: I sat as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat, I ate what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate, and I did what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did.
Hadith 442
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بِمِنًى ، يَقُولُ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنِّي أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ ، فَلْيُرَابِطْ امْرُؤٌ كَيْفَ شَاءَ " ، هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ؟ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ .
Once during the days of Hajj, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said in the plain of Mina: O people! I will narrate to you a hadith which I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Guarding for one day in the way of Allah is better than a thousand days in ordinary circumstances. Therefore, whoever wishes, let him take part in it as he wills. After saying this, he said: Have I conveyed the message? The people said: Yes! He said: O Allah, bear witness.
Hadith 443
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ يَعْنِي مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبَاهِلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ : أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ صَلَّى بِمِنًى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ، فَأَنْكَرَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنِّي تَأَهَّلْتُ بِمَكَّةَ مُنْذُ قَدِمْتُ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ تَأَهَّلَ فِي بَلَدٍ ، فَلْيُصَلِّ صَلَاةَ الْمُقِيمِ " .
Once during the days of Hajj, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in Mina in four complete rak'ahs instead of shortening the prayer. The people were astonished at this. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O people! I have become a resident after coming to Makkah Mukarramah, and I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever becomes a resident in a city will pray the prayer of a resident."
Hadith 444
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ وَرْدَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : كُنْتُ أَبْتَاعُ التَّمْرَ مِنْ بَطْنٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ : بَنُو قَيْنُقَاعَ ، فَأَبِيعُهُ بِرِبْحٍ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا عُثْمَانُ ، إِذَا اشْتَرَيْتَ فَاكْتَلْ ، وَإِذَا بِعْتَ فَكِلْ " .
Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) delivering a sermon on the pulpit, saying: I used to buy dates from a Jewish family and tribe called Banu Qaynuqa, and after keeping my profit, I would sell them further. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to know of this, he said: "Uthman! When you buy, weigh it, and when you sell, sell it by weighing."
Hadith 445
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ وَرْدَانَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ .
The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
Hadith 446
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ قَالَ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ، لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ شَيْءٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever recites this supplication, nothing will be able to harm him «بسم الله الذى لا يضر مع اسمه شيء فى الارض ولا فى السماء وهو السميع العليم» .
Hadith 447
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الْخَفَّافُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَا يَقُولُهَا عَبْدٌ حَقًّا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ ، إِلَّا حُرِّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ " فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : أَنَا أُحَدِّثُكَ مَا هِيَ ؟ هِيَ كَلِمَةُ الْإِخْلَاصِ الَّتِي أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِهَا مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ ، وَهِيَ كَلِمَةُ التَّقْوَى الَّتِي أَلَاصَ عَلَيْهَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمَّهُ أَبَا طَالِبٍ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ : شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ .
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 once: "I know a word that if any servant says it, believing in it with his heart as truth, the fire of Hell will become forbidden for him." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Shall I tell you what that word is?" That word is sincerity, which Allah made obligatory upon His Prophet and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them). This is the same word of piety that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeatedly presented before his uncle Abu Talib at the time of his death, that is, the testimony of the oneness of Allah.
Hadith 448
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ يَعْنِي الْمُعَلِّمَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، أَنَّ عَطَاءَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ أخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ : أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، قُلْتُ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا جَامَعَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَلَمْ يُمْنِ ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : " يَتَوَضَّأُ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ، وَيَغْسِلُ ذَكَرَهُ " ، وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، وَالزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ ، وَطَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَأُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ ، فَأَمَرُوهُ بِذَلِكَ .
Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) once asked Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that if a man has intercourse with his wife but does not ejaculate, what is the ruling? He replied that he should perform ablution as he does for prayer, and wash his private part, and said that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say this. The narrator says that then I asked the same question to Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Zubair, Sayyiduna Talha, and Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with them), and they also gave the same answer.
Hadith 449
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ ، يَقُولُ : نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَنْ نَشَاءُ سورة الأنعام آية 83 ، قَالَ : بِالْعِلْمِ " ، قُلْتُ : مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ ؟ قَالَ : زَعَمَ ذَاكَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ .
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the meaning of the Quranic verse «نرفع درجات من نشاء» is that through knowledge, We raise the ranks of whomever We wish. I asked, "Who explained this meaning to you?" He replied, "Zaid bin Aslam did."
Hadith 450
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَسَرَّةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ أَشَفَعْتُ أَمْ أَوْتَرْتُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِيَّايَ وَأَنْ يَتَلَعَّبَ بِكُمْ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ ، مَنْ صَلَّى مِنْكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَشَفَعَ أَوْ أَوْتَرَ ، فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ، فَإِنَّهُمَا تَمَامُ صَلَاتِهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I was performing prayer, and I could not tell whether I had prayed an even or odd number of rak‘ahs." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Protect yourself from letting Satan play with you during prayer. If any of you is praying and cannot tell whether it was an even or odd number, then he should perform two prostrations of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw), for with these two, the prayer is completed."
Hadith 451
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ، وَزِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سَوَّارٌ أَبُو عُمَارَةَ الرَّمْلِيّ ، عَنْ مَسَرَّةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ ، قَالَ : صَلَّى بِنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ الْعَصْرَ ، فَانْصَرَفَ إِلَيْنَا بَعْدَ صَلَاتِهِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، فَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ هَاتَيْنِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْنَا ، فَأَعْلَمَنَا أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ عُثْمَانَ ، وَحَدَّثَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . . . فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ نَحْوَهُ .
Maseerah bin Ma’bad says that once Yazid bin Abi Kabshah led us in the Asr prayer. After the prayer, he turned to us and sat down, and said: I prayed with Marwan bin Hakam, and he also performed two prostrations in the same way and turned to us and informed us that he had prayed with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and he narrated this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Hadith 452
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُغِيرَةَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ يَذْكُرُ ، عَنْ مَطَرٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ : أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ ، فَقَالَ : عَلَامَ تَقْتُلُونِي ؟ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ : رَجُلٌ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ ، فَعَلَيْهِ الرَّجْمُ ، أَوْ قَتَلَ عَمْدًا ، فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَوَدُ ، أَوْ ارْتَدَّ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ ، فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَتْلُ " ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ ، وَلَا قَتَلْتُ أَحَدًا فَأُقِيدَ نَفْسِي مِنْهُ ، وَلَا ارْتَدَدْتُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ ، إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that during the days when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged in his house, he looked out at the people and said: "For what crime do you intend to kill me? For I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings 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 become an apostate. As for adultery, not only in Islam, even in the days of ignorance I never committed it, nor have I killed anyone for whom retribution should be taken from me."
Hadith 453
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَبِيلٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْدَادِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ : أَنَّهُ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَبِيَدِهِ عَصَاهُ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : يَا كَعْبُ ، إِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ مَالًا ، فَمَا تَرَى فِيهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنْ كَانَ يَصِلُ فِيهِ حَقَّ اللَّهِ ، فَلَا بَأْسَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَرَفَعَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ عَصَاهُ ، فَضَرَبَ كَعْبًا ، وَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا أُحِبُّ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي هَذَا الْجَبَلَ ذَهَبًا أُنْفِقُهُ وَيُتَقَبَّلُ مِنِّي ، أَذَرُ خَلْفِي مِنْهُ سِتَّ أَوَاقٍ " ، أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ يَا عُثْمَانُ ، أَسَمِعْتَهُ ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
It is narrated from Malik bin Abdullah, may Allah have mercy on him, that once Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari, may Allah be pleased with him, came to Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, seeking permission to enter. He granted him permission. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, had a staff in his hand. Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, asked Sayyiduna Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him: O Ka'b! Abdur Rahman has passed away and left wealth in his inheritance. What is your opinion regarding this matter? He said: If he used to fulfill the rights of Allah through it, then there is no harm. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari, may Allah be pleased with him, began to strike him with his staff and said: I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: If I had gold equal to this mountain, I would not like to leave behind even six uqiyah of it; I would spend it so that it would be accepted. O Uthman! I ask you by Allah, did you also hear this statement? He replied: Yes.

Hani, who was the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), says that when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) would stop at a grave, he would weep so much that his beard would become wet. Someone asked him, "When you mention Paradise and Hell, you do not weep, but at this you weep?" He replied that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The grave is the first stage of the Hereafter; if one is saved there, then the subsequent stages will be easier, and if one is not saved there, then the subsequent stages will be more difficult." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "Of all the scenes I have seen, the scene of the grave is the most terrifying."

It is narrated from Marwan that during the "Year of Nosebleed," blood once flowed profusely from the nose of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) (which is called a nosebleed), to the extent that he could not even go for Hajj and, having lost hope of life, he made his will. During this time, a man from the Quraysh came to him and said, "Appoint someone as your successor (caliph)." He asked, "Is this also the opinion of the people?" He replied, "Yes!" He asked, "Whose opinion is this among the people?" At this, he remained silent. After that, another man came and repeated the words of the first man, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him the same answers. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "Whom do the people want to appoint as caliph?" He said, "Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him)." He said, "Yes! By the One in Whose hand is my soul, to my knowledge, he was the best and the most beloved in the sight of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."

Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) once asked Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that if a man has intercourse with his wife but does not ejaculate, what is the ruling? He replied that he should perform ablution as he does for prayer, and wash his private part, and said that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say this.

Humran reports that once I came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he was sitting on a bench, he performed ablution excellently and said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing ablution in this very place in the best manner, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs ablution like this of mine and comes to the mosque and offers two units of prayer, Allah Almighty will forgive all his previous sins. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: Do not be deceived.

Ubaidullah bin Umair says that I was sitting with Sulaiman bin Ali, when an elder from the Quraysh arrived. Sulaiman said: Look! Seat the Sheikh in a good place because it is the right of the Quraysh. I said: Governor! Shall I narrate to you a hadith that whoever insults the Quraysh, it is as if he insults Allah? He said: Subhan Allah! How excellent, who narrated this to you? I said: Rabee’ah bin Abi Abdur Rahman narrated it to me from Sa’eed bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him), who narrated from Amr bin Uthman, that my father said to me: Son! If you are ever given leadership over any place, honor the Quraysh, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever insults the Quraysh, it is as if he insults Allah.

Ibn Abzi says that when the siege of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) began, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "I have the best kind of camels which I have prepared for you. You can ride them and go to Makkah Mukarramah. Whoever wants to come to you, will come there." But he refused, saying, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that in Makkah Mukarramah, a ram from the Quraysh will spread heresy, whose name will be Abdullah. Upon him will be half the burden of the people's sins. (I do not want to become that ram)."

On one occasion, 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: Guarding for one night in the path of Allah is superior to standing in prayer and fasting during the day for a thousand nights.
Hadith 464

Umar bin Ubaidullah developed an eye ailment while in the state of Ihram. He wanted to apply kohl to his eyes, but Sayyiduna Aban bin Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) forbade him and said that he could apply patience as kohl (i.e., 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).
Hadith 466
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ نُبَيْهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ : أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ ابْنَهُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ ، فَنَهَاهُ أَبَانُ ، وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ حدث عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " الْمُحْرِمُ لَا يَنْكِحُ ، وَلَا يُنْكِحُ " .
Nabiyah bin Wahb says that Umar bin Ubaidullah wanted to marry off his son while in the state of Ihram, so Sayyiduna Aban, may Allah have mercy on him, stopped him and informed him that Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, used to narrate this hadith from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that a person in Ihram should neither marry himself nor arrange the marriage of anyone else.
Hadith 467
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ رَبَاحٍ ، قَالَ : زَوَّجَنِي أَهْلِي أَمَةً لَهُمْ رُومِيَّةً ، وَلَدَتْ لِي غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ ، فَعَلِقَهَا عَبْدٌ رُومِيٌّ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : يُوحَنَّسُ ، فَجَعَلَ يُرَاطِنُهَا بِالرُّومِيَّةِ ، فَحَمَلَتْ ، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ وَلَدَتْ لِي غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي ، فَجَاءَتْ بِغُلَامٍ وَكَأَنَّهُ وَزَغَةٌ مِنَ الْوَزَغَاتِ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ : هُوَ مِنْ يُوحَنَّسَ ، فَسَأَلْتُ يُوحَنَّسَ ، فَاعْتَرَفَ ، فَأَتَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمَا فَسَأَلَهُمَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : سَأَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ ، وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ " ، فَأَلْحَقَهُ بِي ، قَالَ : فَجَلَدَهُمَا ، فَوَلَدَتْ لِي بَعْدُ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ .
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 Yohannes. 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 Yohannes' child." We presented this matter before Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, "Are you content that I judge between you as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) judged?" 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 (i.e., punishment). Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) established the lineage of the child with me and flogged both of them, and after that, another son was born to me from her who was dark-skinned.
Hadith 468
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ فِي الدَّارِ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ ، قَالَ : وَكُنَّا نَدْخُلُ مَدْخَلًا إِذَا دَخَلْنَاهُ سَمِعْنَا كَلَامَ مَنْ عَلَى الْبَلَاطِ ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمًا لِحَاجَةٍ ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا مُنْتَقِعًا لَوْنُهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُمْ لَيَتَوَعَّدُونِي بِالْقَتْلِ آنِفًا ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : وَبِمَ يَقْتُلُونِي ؟ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا فِي إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ : رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ ، أَوْ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ ، أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ " ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ ، وَلَا تَمَنَّيْتُ بَدَلًا بِدِينِي مُنْذُ هَدَانِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَلَا قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا ، فَبِمَ يَقْتُلُونِي ؟ .
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, I was with him. For a short while, when we would enter a room, we could also hear the conversation of those sitting on the watch-post. In this way, once he entered that room, and after a short while, he came out, his color had changed, and he 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 heard the Prophet (peace and blessings 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 religion over this religion. As for Islam, that is a distant matter; even in the days of ignorance, I never committed adultery, nor did I kill anyone. Then why do these people want to kill me?"
Hadith 469
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ . ح وَسُرَيْجٌ ، وَحُسَيْنٌ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ حُسَيْنُ : ابْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، يَقُولُ : مَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ أَوْعَى أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْهُ ، وَلَكِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُهُ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ ، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " ، وَقَالَ حُسَيْنٌ : أَوْعَى صَحَابَتِهِ عَنْهُ .
Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: If I do not narrate many ahadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to you, it is not because I could not remember them, but rather I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever attributes to me something that I did not say, let him take his place in the Hellfire.
Hadith 470
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، 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 تَعَالَى ، 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 (may Allah be pleased with him) saying from 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 every person may choose as he sees fit. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Standing guard for one day in the path of Allah is better than standing guard for a thousand days in other places.
Hadith 471
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ ، يُرِيدُ سَفَرًا أَوْ غَيْرَهُ ، فَقَالَ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ ، اعْتَصَمْتُ بِاللَّهِ ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ، إِلَّا رُزِقَ خَيْرَ ذَلِكَ الْمَخْرَجِ ، وَصُرِفَ عَنْهُ شَرُّ ذَلِكَ الْمَخْرَجِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among the Muslims, when leaving his house—whether intending to travel or otherwise—recites this supplication «بسم الله آمنت بالله ، اعتصمت بالله ، توكلت على الله لاحول ولاقوة الا بالله», then goodness will be granted to him and he will be protected from the evil of his going out."
Hadith 472
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ ، فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ، وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ غَسْلًا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performing ablution; he washed his face three times, washed his hands three times, wiped his head, and washed his feet thoroughly.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَخْرَةَ جَامِعُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ بْنَ أَبَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْبَصْرَةِ ، وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ مَعَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَتَمَّ الْوُضُوءَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَالصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ " .

Yazid bin Moheb narrates that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) offered Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) the position of judge. He replied, "I will neither judge between two people nor will I lead (as an imam). Have you not heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever seeks refuge with Allah is granted complete protection'?" He (Uthman) said, "Why not!" Upon this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "Then I seek refuge with Allah from you appointing me to any position." So Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) left him and said, "Do not tell anyone about this."

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَاه سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ ، حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، هَجِّرُوا فَإِنِّي مُهَجِّرٌ ، فَهَجَّرَ النَّاسُ ، ثُمّ قَالَ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ رِبَاطَ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ مِمَّا سِوَاهُ ، فَلْيُرَابِطْ امْرُؤٌ حَيْثُ شَاءَ " ، هَلْ بَلَّغْتُكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ .
Abu Salih, who was the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), says that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O people! Set out, for I am also about to set out." When the people began to depart, he said: "I have not yet narrated to you a hadith that I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Standing guard for one day in the way of Allah is better than standing guard for a thousand days elsewhere. Therefore, whoever wishes, let him stand guard.' Have I conveyed the message?" The people said: "Yes!" He said: "O Allah, bear witness."

Humran reports that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting on a bench. He called for water and performed ablution thoroughly and well. He then said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ablution in this very place in the best manner, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs ablution like this of mine and then comes to the mosque and offers two units of prayer, Allah Almighty will forgive all his previous sins. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "Do not be deceived."
