3872. Narrated 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Adī bin Al-Khiyār that Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abd Yaghūth had said to him, "What prevents you from speaking to your uncle 'Uthmān regarding his brother Al-Walīd bin 'Uqba?" The people were speaking against the latter for what he had done. 'Ubaidullāh said, "So, I kept waiting for 'Uthmān, and when he went out for the Ṣalāt (prayer), I said to him, 'I have got something to say to you as a piece of advice.' 'Uthmān said, 'O man! I seek refuge with Allāh from you.' So, I went away. When I finished my Ṣalāt (prayer), I sat with Al-Miswar and Ibn 'Abd Yaghūth and talked to both of them of what I had said to 'Uthmān and what he had said to me. They said, "Allāh has put you to trial." I set out and when I reached 'Uthmān, he said, 'What is your advice which you mentioned a while ago?' I recited Tashahhud(1) and added, 'Allāh has sent Muḥammad ﷺ and has revealed the Holy Book (i.e., the Qur'an) to him. You (O 'Uthmān!) were amongst those who responded to the call of Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ and had faith in him. And you took part in the first two emigrations (to Ethiopia and to Al-Madīna), and you enjoyed the company of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and learned his As-Sunna and advice. Now the people are talking much about Al-Walīd bin 'Uqba, and so it is your duty to impose on him the legal punishment.' 'Uthmān then said to me, 'O my nephew! Did you ever meet Allāh's Messenger ﷺ?' I said, 'No, but his (teachings) has reached me as it has reached the virgin in her seclusion.' 'Uthmān then recited Tashahhud and said, 'No doubt, Allāh has sent Muḥammad ﷺ with the Truth and has revealed to him His Holy Book (i.e., the Qur'an), and I was amongst those who responded to the call of Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ and I had faith in Muḥammad's Mission, and I had performed the first two emigrations as you have said, and I enjoyed the company of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and gave the Bai'a (pledge) to him. By Allāh, I never disobeyed him and never cheated him till Allāh caused

3872 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الجُعْفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الخِيَارِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ المِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ، وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ، قَالاَ لَهُ: مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ خَالَكَ عُثْمَانَ فِي أَخِيهِ الوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ فِيمَا فَعَلَ بِهِ، قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ: فَانْتَصَبْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً، وَهِيَ نَصِيحَةٌ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا المَرْءُ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ، فَانْصَرَفْتُ، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ الصَّلاَةَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى المِسْوَرِ وَإِلَى ابْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ، فَحَدَّثْتُهُمَا بِالَّذِي قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ، وَقَالَ لِي، فَقَالاَ: قَدْ قَضَيْتَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْكَ، فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ مَعَهُمَا، إِذْ جَاءَنِي رَسُولُ عُثْمَانَ، فَقَالاَ لِي: قَدِ ابْتَلاَكَ اللَّهُ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ : مَا نَصِيحَتُكَ الَّتِي ذَكَرْتَ آنِفًا؟ قَالَ: فَتَشَهَّدْتُ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الكِتَابَ، وَكُنْتَ مِمَّنِ اسْتَجَابَ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَآمَنْتَ بِهِ، وَهَاجَرْتَ الهِجْرَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ، وَصَحِبْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَأَيْتَ هَدْيَهُ، وَقَدْ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ فِي شَأْنِ الوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، فَحَقٌّ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الحَدَّ، فَقَالَ لِي: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، آدْرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لاَ، وَلَكِنْ قَدْ خَلَصَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ مَا خَلَصَ إِلَى العَذْرَاءِ فِي سِتْرِهَا، قَالَ: فَتَشَهَّدَ عُثْمَانُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالحَقِّ، وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الكِتَابَ، وَكُنْتُ مِمَّنِ اسْتَجَابَ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَآمَنْتُ بِمَا بُعِثَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهَاجَرْتُ الهِجْرَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ، كَمَا قُلْتَ: وَصَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَبَايَعْتُهُ، وَاللَّهِ مَا عَصَيْتُهُ وَلاَ غَشَشْتُهُ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ اسْتَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَصَيْتُهُ وَلاَ غَشَشْتُهُ، ثُمَّ اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَصَيْتُهُ وَلاَ غَشَشْتُهُ، ثُمَّ اسْتُخْلِفْتُ، أَفَلَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ مِثْلُ الَّذِي كَانَ لَهُمْ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَمَا هَذِهِ الأَحَادِيثُ الَّتِي تَبْلُغُنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ فَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ شَأْنِ الوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، فَسَنَأْخُذُ فِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِالحَقِّ، قَالَ: فَجَلَدَ الوَلِيدَ أَرْبَعِينَ جَلْدَةً، وَأَمَرَ عَلِيًّا أَنْ يَجْلِدَهُ، وَكَانَ هُوَ يَجْلِدُهُ " وَقَالَ يُونُسُ، وَابْنُ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ: «أَفَلَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الحَقِّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي كَانَ لَهُمْ» قَالَ: أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: {بَلاَءٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ} [البقرة: 49] مَا ابْتُلِيتُمْ بِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةٍ، وَفِي مَوْضِعٍ: البَلاَءُ الِابْتِلاَءُ وَالتَّمْحِيصُ، مَنْ بَلَوْتُهُ وَمَحَّصْتُهُ، أَيِ اسْتَخْرَجْتُ مَا عِنْدَهُ، يَبْلُو: يَخْتَبِرُ. {مُبْتَلِيكُمْ} [البقرة: 249]: مُخْتَبِرُكُمْ. وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ: بَلاَءٌ عَظِيمٌ: النِّعَمُ، وَهِيَ مِنْ أَبْلَيْتُهُ، وَتِلْكَ مِنَ ابْتَلَيْتُهُ
