السيوطي:٣-١٤٩b –

"عَن ابْنِ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ فَرْقَدٍ عَرَضَ عَلَى ابْنِه التَّزْوِيجَ فَأبى، فَذَكر ذَلِكَ لِعُثْمَانَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: أَلَيْس قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ وَقَدْ تَزَوَّجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَقَدْ تَزَوَّجَ عُمَرُ وَعِنْدَنَا مِنْهُنَّ مَا عِنْدَنَا؟ ! فَقَالَ: يَا أمِيرَ المُوْمِنينَ: مَنْ لَهُ عَمَل مِثْلُ عَمَلِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ وَأَبِى بَكْرٍ وَعُمَر وَمِثْلُ عَمَلِكَ؟ فَلَمَّا قَالَ: وَمِثْلُ عَمَلِكَ قَالَ: كُفَّ، إِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَزَوَّجْ وَإنْ شئْتَ فَلاَ".

[Machine] "Uthman, what is preventing you from getting married? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr, and Umar have all gotten married, and we have women for you to marry. " Umar then said to him, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, who has a similar level of deeds as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr, and Umar, and a similar level of deeds as you?" When he heard this, Uthman said, "Go if you wish, and if you want, get married, and if you want, do not get married."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٠٥٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ فَرْقَدٍ قَدْ عَرَضَ عَلَى ابْنِهِ عَمْرٍو التَّزْوِيجَ قَالَ فَأَبَى قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ

عُثْمَانُ مَا يَمْنَعُكُ مِنَ التَّزْوِيجِ وَقَدْ تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعِنْدَنَا مِنْهُنَّ مَا عِنْدَنَا؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمْرٌو يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَمَنْ لَهُ مِثْلُ عَمَلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمِثْلُ عَمَلِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَمِثْلُ عَمَلِكَ؟ فَلَمَّا قَالَهَا قَالَ انْطَلِقْ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَزَوَّجْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا تَتَزَوَّجْ
