وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْمَعَافِرِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ثَوْرٍ الْفِهْرِيَّ
يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُدَيْسٍ الْبَلَوِيِّ، وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ، فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ تَعَالَى وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ عُثْمَانَ ؓ فَوَقَعَ فِيهِ، قَالَ أَبُو ثَوْرٍ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ ؓ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ ابْنَ عُدَيْسٍ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ: وَمِنْ أَيْنَ وَقَدِ اخْتَبَأْتُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَشْرًا؛ إِنِّي لَرَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، وَزَوَّجَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ابْنَتَهُ ثُمَّ ابْنَتَهُ، وَبَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي فَمَا سَتَرْتُ بِهَا ذَكَرِي، وَلَا تَغَنَّيْتُ، وَلَا تَمَنَّيْتُ، وَلَا شَرِبْتُ خَمْرًا فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ... الْحَدِيثَ

✧ He narrates from Abd al-Rahman b. Udays al-Balawi, who was among those who pledged allegiance under the tree. He ascended the pulpit, praised God Almighty and extolled Him, then mentioned Uthman ؓ and disparaged him. Abu Thawr said: I entered upon Uthman ؓ while he was besieged, and I said: "Ibn Udays said such-and-such." Uthman ؓ said: "From what [fault]? I have taken refuge with God, Mighty and Majestic, ten times: I am the fourth of four in Islam; the Messenger of God ﷺ married me to his daughter, then his daughter; I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of God ﷺ with my hand, and I did not cover my private part with it, nor did I sing, nor did I wish [for what is forbidden], nor did I drink wine in the Jahiliyyah or in Islam..." (the hadith).
