حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ حَدَّثَنَا زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ
سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي كَتَمْتُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَرَاهِيَةَ تَفَرُّقِكُمْ عَنِّي، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِيَ الْآنَ أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمُوهُ؛ لِيَخْتَارَ امْرُؤٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مَا بَدَا لَهُ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ.

✧ I heard Uthman say on the pulpit: 'O people, I have concealed from you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ out of dislike that you would split from me. Now it seems appropriate to tell it to you, so that each man may choose for himself what appears best to him. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Guarding the frontier for one day in the path of Allah is better than a thousand days spent elsewhere."
