And the Narrations of Uthman ibn Affan (RA)
ومن أخبار عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه
Hadith 4:24
Bishr ibn Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamzah narrated to us, my father narrated to me, from al-Zuhri, 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr narrated to me, that 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Adi ibn al-Khiyar informed him: That 'Uthman said to him: "Indeed, Allah sent Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, with the truth. I was among those who responded to Allah and His Messenger, and I believed in that which Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, was sent with. Then I performed the two migrations, and I attained the kinship of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. By Allah, I did not disobey him, nor did I deceive him, until Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, took his soul."
حدثنا بشر بن شعيب بن أبي حمزة، حدثني أبي، عن الزهري، حدثني عروة بن الزبير، أن عبيد الله بن عدي بن الخيار أخبره أن عثمان قال له : إن الله بعث محمدا عليه الصلاة والسلام بالحق، فكنت ممن استجاب لله ولرسوله، وآمن بما بعث به محمدا عليه الصلاة والسلام، ثم هاجرت الهجرتين، ونلت صهر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وبايعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فوالله ما عصيته، ولا غششته، حتى توفاه الله عز وجل .
