وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أنبأ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ، أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَدِمَ خَيْبَرَ، فَرَأَى فِتْيَةً لُعْسًا ظُرْفًا، فَأَعْجَبَهُ ظَرْفُهُمْ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُمْ، فَقِيلَ: هُمْ مَوَالٍ لِرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، أُمُّهُمْ حُرَّةٌ، مَوْلَاةٌ لِرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، وَأَبُوهُمْ مَمْلُوكٌ لِأَشْجَعَ لِبَعْضِ الْحُرْقَةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَاشْتَرَى أَبَاهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِفِتْيَتِهِ: انْتَسِبُوا إِلِيَّ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتُمُ مَوَالِيَّ، فَقَالَ رَافِعٌ: بَلْ هُمْ مَوَالِيَّ، وُلِدُوا وَأُمُّهُمْ حُرَّةٌ، وَأَبُوهُمْ مَمْلُوكٌ، فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَضَى بِوَلَائِهِمْ لِلزُّبَيْرِ. . هَذَا هُوَ الْمَشْهُورُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَرُوِيَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مُنْقَطِعًا بِخِلَافِهِ..
Yahya bin Abd al-Rahman bin Hatib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Khaybar and saw some bright young men, and their elegance pleased him. He asked about them and was told: They are freedmen of Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him); their mother is a free woman, a freedwoman of Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him), and their father is a slave of the tribe of Ashja'. So al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) bought their father and freed him, then said to the young men: "Trace your affiliation to me, for you are my freedmen." Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Rather, they are my freedmen; they were born while their mother was free and their father was a slave." The two of them brought the dispute to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and he judged in favour of al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him).
This is what is well known from Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him); and something contrary to it has been narrated from al-Zuhri from Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) with a broken (munqati') chain.
