"عَن النّزَّالِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ حُذَيْفَةَ فِى الْبَيْتِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: مَا هَذَا الَّذِى يَبْلُغُنِى عَنْكَ؟ قَالَ: مَا قُلْتَهُ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: أَنْتَ أصْدَقُهُمْ وَأَبَّرُّهُمْ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قُلْتُ لَهُ: أَلَمْ تَقُلْ مَا قُلْتَهُ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى! وَلَكَنْ أَشْتَرِى دِينِى بِبَعْضِهِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ كُلُّهُ".
