[Machine] While we were with the Prophet of Allah ﷺ on a road in one of the outskirts of the city, he said, "How do you see the fitnah (tribulation) that is erupting in different parts of the Earth, as if it is the hump of a cow?" They asked, "What should we do, O Prophet of Allah?" He said, "Stick to this (meaning me) and my companions, or follow this (meaning Ali) and his companions." So I hurried until I caught up with the man and said, "This, O Prophet of Allah?" He said, "Yes, that is Uthman bin Affan."  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ فِي فِتْنَةٍ تَثُورُ فِي أَقْطَارِ الْأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهَا صَيَاصِي بَقَرٍ؟ قَالُوا نَصْنَعُ مَاذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ؟ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ هَذَاوَأَصْحَابَهُ أَوْ اتَّبِعُوا هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ قَالَ فَأَسْرَعْتُ حَتَّى عَطَفْتُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ قَالَ هَذَا فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ  

[Machine] They both used to raid, then they approached me and each of them did not know that his companion had told me about Murrah Al-Bahzi. He said, while we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of the roads of Al-Madinah, "How do you deal with a turmoil that is spreading throughout the earth as if it were the sting of a bee?" They said, "What should we do, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Hold onto this and its people." So I hurried until I reached the man and said, "Is this him, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Yes." And there was 'Uthman bin 'Affan.  

كَانَا يُغَازِيَانِ فَحَدَّثَانِي وَلَا يَشْعُرُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا أَنَّ صَاحِبَهُ حَدَّثَنِيهِ عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْبَهْزِيِّ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ فِي فِتْنَةٍ تَثُورُ فِي أَقْطَارِ الْأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهَا صَيَاصِي الْبَقَرِ»؟ قَالُوا نَصْنَعُ مَاذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا وَأَصْحَابِهِ» قَالَ فَأَسْرَعْتُ حَتَّى عَطَفْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ قُلْتُ هَذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «هَذَا» فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the way to Medina when he said, "How will you fare during a trial that will encompass the whole world, like the patches of dark night?" We asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what should we do?" He pointed to a man standing before him and said, "Follow this man and his companions." So, I hurried towards him and caught hold of the man. I brought him before the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Is this it, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes." And he was Uthman bin Affan.  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي طَرِيقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ فِي فِتْنَةٍ تَكُونُ فِي أَقْطَارِ الْأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهَا صَيَاصِي بَقَرٍ؟» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ؟ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ «اتَّبِعُوا هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ» فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُسْرِعٌ فَأَخَذْتُ الرَّجُلَ فَعَطَفْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقُلْتُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ وَهُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ  

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the way to Medina, he said, "How do you deal with a turmoil that erupts in different parts of the earth as if it were bubbling up like the waves of the sea?" They asked, "What should we do, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You should do this and follow my companions doing the same." I hurried until I caught up with the man and said, "O Prophet of Allah, who is this?" He said, "This is Uthman ibn Affan."  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي طَرِيقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ بِفِتْنَةٍ تَثُورُ فِي أَقْطَارِ الْأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهَا صَيَاصِي بَقَرٍ؟» قَالُوا فَنَصْنَعُ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا وَأَصْحَابِهِ أَوِ اتَّبَعُوا هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ » وَأَسْرَعْتُ حَتَّى عَطَفْتُ الرَّجُلَ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ هَذَا؟ قَالَ «هَذَا» فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ  

" عَنْ هَرِمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَأُسَامَة بْنِ خُرَيْمٍ، عَنْ مُرَّة الْبَهْزِىِّ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فِى طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ في فِتْنَة تَثُورُ في أَقْطَارِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا كَأَنَّها صياصى هِرٍّ؟ قَالُوا: فَنَصْنَعُ مَاذَا يَا نَبِىَّ الله؟ قَالَ: عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا وأصحَابِهِ فَأَسْرَعْتُ حَتَّى عَطَفْتُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا يَا نَبِىَّ الله؟ ! قَالَ: هَذَا، فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ".
