حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ:

لَقِيَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ ؓ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْوَلِيدُ: مَا لِي أَرَاكَ قَدْ جَفَوْتَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانَ ؓ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَبْلِغْهُ عَنِّي أَنِّي لَمْ أَفِرَّ يَوْمَ عَيْنَيْنِ - قَالَ عَاصِمٌ: هُوَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ - وَلَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ بَدْرٍ، وَلَمْ أَتْرُكْ سُنَّةَ عُمَرَ ؓ، فَانْطَلَقَ يُخْبِرُ ذَاكَ عُثْمَانَ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ: أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ " يَوْمَ عَيْنَيْنِ " فَكَيْفَ يُعَيِّرُنِي بِذَنْبٍ قَدْ عَفَا اللهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ.. الْآيَةَ، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ: " إِنِّي تَخَلَّفْتُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ "، كُنْتُ أُمَرِّضُ رُقَيَّةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ، وَقَدْ ضَرَبَ لِي بِسَهْمٍ، وَمَنْ ضَرَبَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَدْ شَهِدَ، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ: " إِنِّي أَتْرُكُ سُنَّةَ عُمَرَ ؓ " فَإِنِّي لَا أُطِيقُهَا أَنَا وَلَا هُوَ. فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ

✧ Abd al-Rahman b. Awf ؓ met al-Walid b. Uqba ؓ, and al-Walid said to him: "Why do I see that you have become distant from the Commander of the Faithful Uthman ؓ?" He said: "Convey to him from me that I did not flee on the day of Aynayn—Asim said: it is the day of Uhud—and I did not stay behind from Badr, and I did not abandon the sunna of Umar ؓ." He went to inform Uthman of that, and Uthman ؓ said: "As for his saying 'the day of Aynayn,' how can he reproach me for a sin from which God Almighty has pardoned [me]? He, Mighty and Majestic, said: 'Those of you who turned back on the day the two hosts met...' [the verse]. As for his saying 'I stayed behind on the day of Badr,' I was nursing Ruqayya, the daughter of the Messenger of God ﷺ, until she died, and he allotted me a share, and whoever the Messenger of God ﷺ allotted a share has indeed participated. As for his saying 'I abandon the sunna of Umar ؓ,' I am not able to bear it, neither I nor he." So I came to him and narrated that to him.
