حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَادَةَ الزُّرَقِيُّ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَعَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَوْمَ حُوصِرَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْجَنَائِزِ، وَلَوْ أُلْقِيَ حَجَرٌ لَمْ يَقَعْ إِلَّا عَلَى رَأْسِ رَجُلٍ، فَرَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ أَشْرَفَ مِنَ الْخَوْخَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي مَقَامَ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَفِيكُمْ طَلْحَةُ ؟ فَسَكَتُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَفِيكُمْ طَلْحَةُ ؟ فَسَكَتُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَفِيكُمْ طَلْحَةُ ؟ [فَسَكَتُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَفِيكُمْ طَلْحَةُ؟] فَقَامَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: أَلَا أَرَاكَ هَاهُنَا ؟ مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّكَ تَكُونُ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ تَسْمَعُ نِدَائِي آخِرَ ثَلَاثِ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ لَا تُجِيبُنِي، أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ يَا طَلْحَةُ، تَذْكُرُ يَوْمَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُكَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا طَلْحَةُ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَمَعَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ رَفِيقٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ مَعَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ هَذَا - يَعْنِينِي - رَفِيقِي مَعِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ ؟ قَالَ طَلْحَةُ: اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ

✧ I witnessed Uthman on the day he was besieged in the place of the funerals. If a stone had been thrown, it would not have fallen except on a man's head. I saw Uthman look out from the small door adjacent to the station of Jibril ﷺ and say: 'O people, is Talhah among you?' They remained silent. Then he said: 'O people, is Talhah among you?' They remained silent. Then he said: 'O people, is Talhah among you?' [They remained silent. Then he said: 'O people, is Talhah among you?'] Talhah b. Ubayd Allah stood up, and Uthman said to him: 'Do I not see you here? I did not think you would be in a group that hears my call three times and then does not answer me. I adjure you by Allah, O Talhah: do you remember the day when you and I were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in such-and-such a place, with no one else from his companions except me and you?' He said: 'Yes.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to you: 'O Talhah, there is no prophet but that he has with him, from his companions, a close friend from his ummah who will be with him in Paradise. And this Uthman b. Affan' – meaning me – 'is my close friend with me in Paradise.' Talhah said: 'O Allah, yes.' Then he left.
