أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالاَ
كُنَّا مَعَ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ وَكُنَّا إِذَا دَخَلْنَا مَدْخَلاً نَسْمَعُ كَلاَمَ مَنْ بِالْبَلاَطِ فَدَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَتَوَاعَدُونِي بِالْقَتْلِ قُلْنَا يَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَلِمَ يَقْتُلُونِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلاَّ بِإِحْدَى ثَلاَثٍ رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلاَمِهِ أَوْ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلاَ إِسْلاَمٍ وَلاَ تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنَّ لِي بِدِينِي بَدَلاً مُنْذُ هَدَانِي اللَّهُ وَلاَ قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا فَلِمَ يَقْتُلُونَنِي

"We were with 'Uthman when he was under siege and we could hear what was said from Al-Balat. 'Uthman came in one day, then he came out, and said: 'They are threatening to kill me.' We said: 'Allah will suffice you against them.' He said: 'Why would they kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim except in one of three cases: A man who reverts to Kufr after becoming Muslim, or commits adultery after being married, or one who kills a soul unlawfully. By Allah, I did not commit adultery during Jahiliyyah or in Islam, I never wished to follow any other religion since Allah guided me, and I have never killed anyone, so why do they want to kill me?'"
Notes
فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلاَ إِسْلاَمٍ وَلاَ تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنَّ لِي بِدِينِي بَدَلاً مُنْذُ هَدَانِي اللَّهُ وَلاَ قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا فَلِمَ يَقْتُلُونَنِي

رواه حماد بن زيد واختلف عنه فرواه محمد بن عيسى الطباع أبو جعفر عن حماد عن يحيى بن سعيد عن أبي أمامة بن سهل وعبد الله بن عامر بن ربيعة عن عثمان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وغيره يرويه عن حماد عن يحيى عن أبي أمامة بن سهل وحده عن عثمان وحديث عبد الله بن عامر بن ربيعة هو حديث آخر موقوف على عثمان وهم محمد بن عيسى في الجمع بينه وبين أبي أمامة في هذا الحديث
machine translationḤammād b. Zayd narrated it, and there is disagreement about what was reported from him. Muḥammad b. ʿĪsā al-Ṭabbāʿ Abū Jaʿfar narrated it from Ḥammād, from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from Abū Umāmah b. Sahl and ʿAbdullāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah, from ʿUthmān, from the Prophet ﷺ. Others narrate it from Ḥammād, from Yaḥyā, from Abū Umāmah b. Sahl alone, from ʿUthmān. The hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah is a different hadith, a statement of ʿUthmān himself (mawqūf). Muḥammad b. ʿĪsā erred in combining it with Abū Umāmah in this hadith.
in سنن النسائي, p. 4030 - Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
غلط ابن الطباع حديث عبد الله بن عامر غير مرفوع هو موقوف فإن حماد بن سلمة رواه عن يحيى بن سعيد عن أبي أمامة بن سهل عن عثمان موقوف قلت لأبي أيهما أشبه قال لا أعلم أحدا يتابع حماد بن زيد على رفعه قلت فالموقف عندك أشبه قال نعم
machine translationIbn al-Ṭabbāʿ made a mistake. The hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. ʿĀmir is not raised (marfūʿ); it is a statement of the Companion (mawqūf), for Ḥammād b. Salamah narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from Abū Umāmah b. Sahl, from ʿUthmān, as a statement of the Companion (mawqūf). I said to my father: Which of them is more likely correct? He said: I do not know anyone who followed Ḥammād b. Zayd in attributing it to the Prophet. I said: So the mawqūf is more likely correct in your view? He said: Yes.
