حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: نَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: نَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ
يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: كُنْتُ كَتَمْتُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمُوهُ لِيَخْتَارَ امْرُؤٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مَا بَدَا لَهُ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ مِمَّا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ.

✧ He said on the minbar: 'I used to conceal from you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then it occurred to me to narrate it to you so that a man may choose for himself what seems best to him. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Ribat for one day in the path of Allah is better than a thousand days in any other station."'
