ذِكْرُ بَيْعَةِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فِي بَيْعَةِ الرِّضْوَانِ بِضَرْبِهِ ﷺ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى عَنْهُ

[Machine] Who was in charge the day the two armies met? He said, "Yes." The man said, "Allah is the greatest," and then he left. Ibn Umar was asked, "What did you do? Let this man go and inform the people that you belittled Uthman." He said, "Bring him back to me." When he came, he said, "Do you remember what you asked me about?" He said, "I asked you if Uthman participated in the Battle of Badr." I said, "No." He said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him on the day of Badr because he had a need for him and he struck him with an arrow." And he said, "And I asked you if you witnessed the pledge of Ridwan." I said, "No." He said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him on a mission and then he struck his hand with his own hand and said, 'Which of these two hands is better, the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or the hand of Uthman?'" He said, "And I asked you if he was in charge the day the two armies met." I said, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, Allah says, 'Satan made them slip because of some of what they earned. But Allah has already forgiven them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing.' Go and give it your utmost effort."
