[Machine] "Indeed, one of your children greets you with peace and asks you about Uthman ibn Affan, for people have been insulting him. She said, 'May Allah curse whoever curses him. By Allah, he used to sit near the Prophet ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to lean on his back. Indeed, Gabriel used to reveal the Quran to him, and he used to say to him, 'Write, O Uthaim.' And Allah would not have bestowed such a status except out of His generosity and the honor of His Messenger."  

أحمد:٢٦١٣٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَتْ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ وَأَرْسَلَهَا عَمُّهَا فَقَالَ

إِنَّ أَحَدَ بَنِيكِ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلَامَ وَيَسْأَلُكِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ شَتَمُوهُ؟ فَقَالَتْ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَهُ فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمُسْنِدٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَيَّ وَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ لَيُوحِي إِلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنَ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَقُولُ لَهُ اكْتُبْ يَا عُثَيْمُ فَمَا كَانَ اللهُ لِيُنْزِلَهُ تِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةَ إِلَّا كَرِيمًا عَلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
