“I heard ‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As say: “The last thing that the Prophet ﷺ enjoined on me when he appointed me governor of Ta’if was that he said: “O ‘Uthman! Be tolerable in prayer and estimate the people based upon the weakest among them, for among them are the elderly, the young, the sick, those who live far from the mosque, and those who have pressing needs.”  

ابن ماجة:٩٨٧حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ يَقُولُ كَانَ آخِرَ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ أَمَّرَنِي عَلَى الطَّائِفِ قَالَ لِي يَا عُثْمَانُ تَجَاوَزْ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَاقْدِرِ النَّاسَ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالصَّغِيرَ وَالسَّقِيمَ وَالْبَعِيدَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ

[Machine] The last covenant that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrusted to me was when he appointed me as the leader of the Ta'if. He said to me, "Be fair to the people, as among them are the sick, the elderly, the young, and those in need."  

الطبراني:٨٣٥٧حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا عَارِمٌ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ قَالَ

كَانَ آخِرُ عَهْدٍ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ بَعَثَنِي أَمِيرًا عَلَى الطَّائِفِ فَقَالَ لِي «اقْدِرِ النَّاسَ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ السَّقِيمَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَالصَّغِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ»
