أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ كَتَمْتُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَرَاهِيَةَ تَفَرُّقِكُمْ عَنِّي ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمُوهُ لِيَخْتَارَ امْرُؤٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مَا بَدَا لَهُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ»

Translation

Chain of narrators
  1. Abū al-Walīd
  2. Layth b. Saʿd
  3. Abū ʿAqīl Zuhrah b. Maʿbad
  4. Abū Ṣāliḥ a freed slave of ʿUthmān

✧ I heard Uthman on the pulpit saying: I had concealed from you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, disliking that you disperse from me. Then it occurred to me to narrate it to you so that each person may choose for himself what seems best to him. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “A day of ribat in the path of Allah is better than a thousand days elsewhere.”
