حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا كَهْمَسٌ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ
قَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ: إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا كَانَ يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ إِلَّا الضِّنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: حَرَسُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ لَيْلَةٍ يُقَامُ لَيْلُهَا، وَيُصَامُ نَهَارُهَا.

✧ Uthman b. Affan said while he was delivering a sermon on his pulpit: I am going to tell you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ. Nothing prevented me from telling you except the concern for you. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "Guarding a night in the cause of God is better than a thousand nights in which its night is spent in prayer and its day is spent in fasting."
