Musnad al-Bazzar 4045

Translation

✧ I saw Abu Dharr sitting alone in the mosque, so I seized the opportunity and sat with him. I mentioned ‘Uthman to him, and he said, “I will never say anything about ‘Uthman except good, because of something I witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I used to seek out the private moments of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to learn from him. One day I went and found that he had gone out, so I followed him. He sat in a spot and I sat with him. He said, ‘O Abu Dharr, what brought you?’ I said, ‘Allah and His Messenger.’ Then Abu Bakr came, greeted, and sat to the right of the Prophet ﷺ. He said to him, ‘What brought you, O Abu Bakr?’ He said, ‘Allah and His Messenger.’ Then ‘Umar came and sat to the right of Abu Bakr. He said, ‘O ‘Umar, what brought you?’ He said, ‘Allah and His Messenger.’ Then ‘Uthman came and sat to the right of ‘Umar. He said, ‘O ‘Uthman, what brought you?’ He said, ‘Allah and His Messenger.’ Then the Prophet ﷺ picked up seven pebbles—or nine pebbles—and they glorified Allah in his hand until I heard for them a humming like the humming of bees. Then he put them down and they fell silent. Then they were placed in the hand of Abu Bakr and they glorified Allah in his hand until I heard for them a humming like the humming of bees. Then he put them down and they fell silent. Then he picked them up and placed them in the hand of ‘Umar, and they glorified Allah in his hand until I heard for them a humming like the humming of bees. Then he put them down and they fell silent. Then he picked them up and placed them in the hand of ‘Uthman, and they glorified Allah in his hand until I heard for them a humming like the humming of bees. Then he put them down and they fell silent.”
