- Abu al-Faraj Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Umar ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi narrated to us in Damascus, as did Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn al-Anmati in Egypt, both saying: Abu al-Yaman Zayd ibn al-Hasan al-Kindi narrated to us, saying: Al-Qadi Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Abd al-Baqi al-Ansari narrated to us, saying: Al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Jawhari narrated to us, saying: Abu al-Husayn Muhammad ibn al-Mudhaffar al-Hafiz narrated to us, saying: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Baghandi narrated to us, saying: Abu Nu'aim Ubayd ibn Hisham al-Halabi narrated to us, saying: Al-Fazari narrated to us from Kulaib ibn Wa'il, from Hani ibn Qays, from Habib ibn Abi Mulaykah, who said: I was sitting with Abdullah ibn Umar when a man came to him and said: O Abu Abd al-Rahman, did you witness Uthman at the Bai'at al-Ridwan? He said: No. The man said: Did he witness the Day of Badr? He said: No.
The man said: Was he among those who turned away on the day the two armies met? He said: Yes. So the man left, and it was said to Ibn Umar: This one will go back to his companions and tell them you spoke ill of Uthman. He said: Did he? He said: That is what he says. Ibn Umar replied: Bring me the man. So they brought him. Ibn Umar said: Do you remember what I said to you? He said: Yes. I asked you about this, and you said that, and I asked you about that, and you said this. Ibn Umar said: As for the Bai'at al-Ridwan, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) sent him to the people of Mecca to ask their permission to enter Mecca, but they refused. So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) stood and said: Verily, Uthman is in the service of Allah and the service of His Messenger, and he (Uthman) took the pledge. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) clapped one hand on the other. As for the Day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) stood and said: Indeed, Uthman has gone on an errand for Allah and an errand for His Messenger. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) struck for him a share and did not strike for anyone else who was absent, except for him. Then he recited to him: {Indeed, those who turned back among you on the day the two armies met, it was only Satan who caused them to slip because of some of what they had earned, and Allah had certainly forgiven them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing} (Surah Al-Imran 3:155). Then he said: Go now and strive with all your effort.
