حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَصَابَ عُثْمَانَ رُعَافٌ سَنَةَ الرُّعَافِ حَتَّى تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ الْحَجِّ وَأَوْصَى، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالَ: اسْتَخْلِفْ ؟ قَالَ: وَقَالُوهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: مَنْ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لَهُ الْأَوَّلُ، وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ قَالُوا: الزُّبَيْرَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَخَيْرَهُمْ مَا عَلِمْتُ، وَأَحَبَّهُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ.

✧ Uthman suffered a nosebleed in the year of the nosebleeds, so much so that he fell behind from the Hajj and made a will. A man from Quraysh entered upon him and said: Appoint a successor? He said: And did they say that? He said: Yes. He said: Who is he? The man fell silent. Then another man entered upon him and said to him the like of what the first had said, and he replied to him similarly. Uthman said: They said al-Zubayr? He said: Yes. He said: By the One in Whose hand is my soul, he was the best of them as far as I know, and the most beloved of them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
