Arabic text

3212 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ: «لَقَدْ رَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ التَّبَتُّلَ»، وَلَوْ أَذِنَ لَهُ لَاخْتَصَيْنَا

Commentary

'Uthman bin Ma'zûn was young. He had been extremely devoted to worship. He sought the permission of the Prophet ﷺ to remain preoccupied with worship all the time, and not get involved in the tumult of womenfolk, but Allâh's Messenger ﷺ did not grant him permission.
