Hadith 1842
The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Aban bin Uthman on the authority of Uthman from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a similar manner. This version adds “And he should not make a betrothal”
Hadith 3660
Narrated Zayd ibn Thabit: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: May Allah brighten a man who hears a tradition from us, gets it by heart and passes it on to others. Many a bearer of knowledge conveys it to one who is more versed than he is; and many a bearer of knowledge is not versed in it.
Hadith 5088
حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو مَوْدُودٍ ،
عَمَّنْ سَمِعَ
أَبَانَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ
عُثْمَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَفَّانَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ قَالَ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلَاءٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ ، وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثُ مَرَّاتٍ ، لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلَاءٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ " وقَالَ : فَأَصَابَ أَبَانَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ الْفَالِجُ ، فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي سَمِعَ مِنْهُ الْحَدِيثَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : مَا لَكَ تَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ ، وَلَا كَذَبَ عُثْمَانُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَكِنَّ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي أَصَابَنِي فِيهِ مَا أَصَابَنِي غَضِبْتُ فَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَقُولَهَا .
Narrated Uthman ibn Affan: Aban ibn Uthman said: I heard Uthman ibn Affan (his father) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If anyone says three times: "In the name of Allah, when Whose name is mentioned nothing on Earth or in Heaven can cause harm, and He is the Hearer, the Knower" he will not suffer sudden affliction till the morning, and if anyone says this in the morning, he will not suffer sudden affliction till the evening. Aban was afflicted by some paralysis and when a man who heard the tradition began to look at him, he said to him: Why are you looking at me? I swear by Allah, I did not tell a lie about Uthman, nor did Uthman tell a lie about the Prophet ﷺ, but that day when I was afflicted by it, I became angry and forgot to say them.
Hadith 5089
