[Machine] I only listened to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , once. Uthman came to him at noon and I thought that he came to him regarding the matter of women, so jealousy led me to eavesdrop on them. I heard him say, "Indeed, Allah has given you a shirt that my nation wants you to take off. So do not take it off." When I saw Uthman giving them what they asked for except taking off the shirt, I knew that it was from the covenant of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that he had entrusted to him.
مَا اسْتَسْمَعْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا مَرَّةً فَإِنَّ عُثْمَانَ جَاءَهُ فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ جَاءَهُ فِي أَمْرِ النِّسَاءِ فَحَمَلَتْنِي الْغَيْرَةُ عَلَى أَنْ أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ مُلْبِسُكَ قَمِيصًا تُرِيدُكَ أُمَّتِي عَلَى خَلْعِهِ فَلَا تَخْلَعْهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَبْذُلُ لَهُمْ مَا سَأَلُوهُ إِلَّا خَلْعَهُ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِ
