Hadith 36:544

Abu Usama narrated to us, from Kahmas, from Abdullah ibn Shaqiq, who said: Haram ibn al-Harith and Usama ibn Harim narrated to me—and they were both companions in military expeditions—and they both narrated it to me, and neither of them was aware that his companion had narrated it to me, from Murra al-Bahzi, who said: While we were with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) one day on one of the paths of Medina, he said: "What will you do during a tribulation that rises in the regions of the earth as if it were the horns of cattle?" They said: "What should we do, O Prophet of Allah?" He said: "You must follow this one and his companions." He said: So I hurried until I turned toward the man and said: "This one, O Prophet of Allah?" He said: "This one." And behold, it was Uthman.

حدثنا أبو أسامة عن كهمس عن عبد الله بن شقيق قال حدثني هرم بن الحارث وأسامة بن حريم قال وكانا يغازيان فحدثاني جميعا ولا يشعر كل واحد منهما أن صاحبه حدثنيه عن مرة البهزي قال بينما نحن مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات يوم في طريق من طرق المدينة فقال كيف تصنعون في فتنة تثور في أقطار الأرض كأنها صياصي بقر قالوا فنصنع ماذا يا نبي الله قال عليكم بهذا وأصحابه قال فأسرعت حتى عطفت على الرجل فقلت هذا يا نبي الله قال هذا فإذا هو عثمان
