Yahya bin Abdur Rahman narrates from his father: He, along with some other people, performed ‘Umrah with Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). A bird was presented to Sayyiduna ‘Uthman, so he told the other people to eat it, but he himself refused to eat it. Sayyiduna ‘Amr bin al-‘As said to him: “Should we eat something which you are not eating?” Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: “My position regarding this is not like yours; it was hunted for me.”
