English translation

2683. It was reported from Sa'd, who said: "On the Day of the conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ granted protection to all the people except four men and two women," and he named them. Ibn Abī Sarḥ was one of them. Then he mentioned the Hadīth. He said: 'As for Ibn Abī Sarḥ, he hid himself with 'Uthmān bin 'Affān. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called people to give him their pledge of allegiance, he brought him and made him stand in front of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then he said: 'O Prophet of Allāh! Receive the pledge of allegiance from 'Abdullāh.' He raised his head and looked at him three times, each time refusing him. Then he received pledge after the third time. Then he faced towards his Companions, and said: 'Was there not among you an intelligent man, whom when he saw me not accepting his pledge would stand up and kill him?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! We do not know what is in your soul, why did you not hint to us with your eye?' He said: 'It is not proper for a Prophet to have a treacherous eye.'"[1] (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: 'Abdullāh was a foster-brother of 'Uthmān, and Al-Walīd bin 'Uqbah was 'Uthmān's brother, through his mother, and 'Uthmān imposed the Hadd (of lashes) beating on him for drinking wine.

2683 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: زَعَمَ السُّدِّيُّ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ أَمَّنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ إِلَّا أَرْبَعَةَ نَفَرٍ وَامْرَأَتَيْنِ وَسَمَّاهُمْ. - وَابْنُ أَبِي سَرْحٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ - قَالَ: وَأَمَّا ابْنُ أَبِي سَرْحٍ فَإِنَّهُ اخْتَبَأَ عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، فَلَمَّا دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ إِلَى الْبَيْعَةِ جَاءَ بِهِ حَتَّى أَوْقَفَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ بَايِعْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَأْبَى فَبَايَعَهُ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ: «أَمَا كَانَ فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَشِيدٌ يَقُومُ إِلَى هَذَا حَيْثُ رَآنِي كَفَفْتُ يَدِي عَنْ بَيْعَتِهِ فَيَقْتُلُهُ؟» فَقَالُوا: مَا نَدْرِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ أَلَا أَوْمَأْتَ إِلَيْنَا بِعَيْنِكَ. قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ خَائِنَةُ الْأَعْيُنِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخَا عُثْمَانَ مِنَ الرِّضَاعَةِ، وَكَانَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ أَخَا عُثْمَانَ لِأُمِّهِ، وَضَرَبَهُ عُثْمَانُ الْحَدَّ إِذْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ»
