حَدَّثَنَا الْمِقْدَامُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ النَّضْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْمَعَافِرِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ثَوْرٍ الْفَهْمِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ؓ قَالَ
«لَقَدِ اخْتَبَأْتُ عِنْدَ رَبِّي عَشْرًا إِنِّي لَرَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَا تَعَنَّيْتُ وَلَا تَمَنَّيْتُ وَلَا وَضَعْتُ يَمِينِي عَلَى فَرْجِي مُنْذُ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا مَرَّتْ عَلَيَّ جُمُعَةٌ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ إِلَّا وَأَنَا أَعْتِقُ فِيهَا رَقَبَةً إِلَّا أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ عِنْدِي فَأَعْتِقَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَلَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ»

✧ "I sought refuge with my Lord for ten days. Indeed, I am the fourth among four in Islam. I have not intended or desired anything, nor have I ever placed my right hand on my private parts since I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Every Friday that has passed since I embraced Islam, I have freed a slave in it, except that if I did not have one, then I would continue to do so afterwards. I have never committed adultery, neither during the period of ignorance nor after embracing Islam."
