أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْقَاضِي ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى الْقَاضِي ثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ
أَصَابَ عُثْمَانَ رُعَافٌ سَنَةَ الرُّعَافِ حَتَّى أَوْصَى وَتَخَلَّفَ عَنِ الْحَجِّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَ اسْتَخْلِفْ فَقَالَ «وَقَالُوهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «وَمَنْ هُوَ؟» فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ آخِرُ فَقَالَ اسْتَخْلِفْ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوًا مِمَّا ذَكَرَ الْأَوَّلُ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ «الزُّبَيْرَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ «أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَا خَيْرَهُمْ مَا عَلِمْتُ وَأَحَبَّهُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَلَّمَ»

✧ Uthman suffered a nosebleed in the year of the nosebleeds, so much so that he made a will and stayed behind from the Hajj. A man from Quraysh entered upon us and said, "Appoint a successor." He said, "And they said that?" He replied, "Yes." He said, "And who is he?" The man fell silent. Then another man entered upon him and said, "Appoint a successor," and mentioned something similar to what the first had said. Uthman said, "Az-Zubayr?" He said, "Yes." Uthman said, "Indeed, by the One in whose hand is my soul, if it were not for the best of them, as far as I know, and the most beloved of them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, [I would not say this]."
