حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّارُ، قَالَ: نَا خَلَفُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ، قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ كَثِيرُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ:
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا كَثِيرُ لَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا مَقْتُولًا مِنْ يَوْمِي هَذَا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَنْصُرُكَ اللهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَعَادَ عَلَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: قِيلَ لَكَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ سَهِرْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الصُّبْحِ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ: " يَا عُثْمَانُ، لَا تَحْبِسْنَا فَإِنَّا نَنْتَظِرُكَ " فَقُتِلَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: الْقَائِلُ لِعُثْمَانَ كَثِيرٌ ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى.

✧ I entered upon Uthman while he was besieged. He said: 'O Kathir, I do not think I will be anything but killed this day of mine.' He said: 'I said: "May Allah give you victory over your enemy."' He said: 'Then he repeated to me, and I said to him: "Were you told something about it?" He said: "No, but I stayed awake this night. When it was near dawn, I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and Umar. The Prophet of Allah said: 'O Uthman, do not detain us, for we are waiting for you.'" So he was killed that day of his.' He said: 'I said: "Was the one who said to Uthman, Kathir?" He said: "Yes."
