قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: ثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ قَالَ:
إِنَّ نَاسًا كَانُوا عِنْدَ فُسْطَاطِ عَائِشَةَ ؓ - أُرَى ذَلِكَ بِمَكَّةَ - فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ عُثْمَانُ ؓ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ؓ: فَمَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا لَعَنَهُ أَوْ سَبَّهَ غَيْرِي، وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ لَعَنَهُ أَوْ سَبَّهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ، فَكَانَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ عَلَى الْكُوفِيِّ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا كُوفِيُّ، أَتَسُبُّنِي ؟ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَهَدَّدُهُ. قَالَ: فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ - يَعْنِي لِلْكُوفِيِّ -: عَلَيْكَ بِطَلْحَةَ. فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُ طَلْحَةُ ؓ حَتَّى أَتَى عُثْمَانَ ؓ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ: وَاللهِ لَأَجْلِدَنَّكَ مِائَةً. قَالَ: طَلْحَةُ: وَاللهِ لَا تَجْلِدُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ زَانِيًا. فَقَالَ: لَأَحْرِمَنَّكَ عَطَاءَكَ، فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ ؓ: يَا كُوفِيُّ، إِنَّ اللهَ يَرْزُقُكَ

✧ Some people were at Aishah's ؓ tent—I think that was in Makkah—and Uthman ؓ passed by them. Abu Said ؓ said: There remained none of the group but cursed or reviled him except me. Among those who cursed or reviled him was a man from Kufah. Uthman ؓ was harsher toward the Kufan than toward others. He said: O Kufan, do you revile me? As if threatening him. He said: Then he went to Madinah, and it was said to him—meaning to the Kufan—: Go to Talhah. Talhah ؓ went with him until he came to Uthman ؓ. Uthman ؓ said: By God, I will flog you a hundred lashes. Talhah said: By God, you will not flog him unless he is an adulterer. He said: I will deprive you of your stipend. Talhah ؓ said: O Kufan, God will provide for you.
