حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا كَهْمَسٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ
قَالَ عُثْمَانُ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ: إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِهِ إِلَّا الضِّنُّ بِكُمْ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: حَرَسُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ لَيْلَةٍ يُقَامُ لَيْلُهَا، وَيُصَامُ نَهَارُهَا.

✧ Uthman said while delivering a sermon on his pulpit: I shall relate to you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; nothing prevented me from relating it to you except concern for you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Guarding one night in the way of Allah is better than a thousand nights in which one stands in prayer and fasts during the day.
