English translation
[3399] 2 - (...) It was narrated that 'Alqamah said: "I was walking with 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ûd in Minâ when he was met by 'Uthmân bin 'Affân who said: 'Come here, O Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân.' He took him aside, and when 'Abdullâh saw that there was no need for that, he said to me: 'Come here, O 'Alqamah.' So I came. 'Uthmân said to him: 'Shall we not marry you, O Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân, to a young virgin hoping that you might regain some of that which you had in the past?' 'Abdullâh said: 'If you are telling me that...' and he mentioned a Ĥadîth similar to that of Abû Mu'âwiyah (no. 3398).
