وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ: لَمَّا حُصِرَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَأُحِيطَ بِدَارِهِ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ عَلَى جَبَلِ حِرَاءَ فَقَالَ: " اسْكُنْ حِرَاءُ، فَمَا عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ "؟ قَالُوا: اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ. قَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ: " مَنْ يُنْفِقُ نَفَقَةً مُتَقَبَّلَةً؟ " وَالنَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُعْسِرُونَ مَجْهُودُونَ، فَجَهَّزْتُ ثُلُثَ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ مِنْ مَالِي؟ قَالُوا: اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رُومَةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا بِثَمَنٍ، فَابْتَعْتُهَا بِمَالِي فَجَعَلْتُهَا لِلْغَنِيِّ وَالْفَقِيرِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ؟ قَالُوا: اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ فِي أَشْيَاءَ عَدَّدَهَا.
Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged and his house was surrounded, he looked out over the people and said: "I adjure you by Allah, do you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the mountain of Hira and said: 'Be still, Hira! For upon you there is none but a Prophet, a Siddiq, or a martyr'?" They answered yes.
Then he said: "I adjure you by Allah, (do you know) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said during the Battle of Tabuk: 'Who will spend an expenditure that will be accepted?' - and the people on that day were in hardship - and I bore the expense of one third of that army from my own wealth?" They answered yes. Then he said: "I adjure you by Allah, (do you know that) at a time when water was bought to be drunk, I bought the well of Rumah and endowed it for everyone - for the rich, the poor and the wayfarer?" They answered yes, and he enumerated a number of things.
