Hadith 3:71

Ishaq ibn Isa narrated to us, Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi al-Zinad narrated to us (H), and Surayj and Husayn said: Ibn Abi al-Zinad narrated to us, from his father, from Amir ibn Sa’d—Husayn said: Ibn Abi Waqqas—who said: I heard Uthman ibn Affan saying: "Nothing prevents me from narrating from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, [the fact] that I am not the most retentive of his companions regarding him. But I bear witness that I heard him say: 'Whoever says about me what I have not said, let him take his seat in the Fire.'" Husayn said: "The most retentive of his companions regarding him."

حدثنا إسحاق بن عيسى، حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن أبي الزناد (ح) وسريج وحسين، قالا: حدثنا ابن أبي الزناد، عن أبيه، عن عامر بن سعد - قال حسين: ابن أبي وقاص - قال: سمعت عثمان بن عفان يقول: ما يمنعني أن أحدث عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن لا أكون أوعى أصحابه عنه، ولكني أشهد لسمعته يقول: " من قال علي ما لم أقل فليتبوأ مقعده من النار " . وقال حسين: أوعى صحابته عنه.
