" عَنْ عبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُغَفَّلِ بْنِ يَسارٍ قَالَ: دَخَلَ (رَجُلٌ) (*) عَلَى عُثْمانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ وَهُوَ يَغْرِسُ غِرَاسًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: أَتَغْرِسُ وَهَذِهِ السَّاعَةُ قَدْ جَاءَتْ؟ فَقَالَ: أنْ تَأْتِىَ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُصْلِحينَ خَيْرٌ وأحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أنْ تَأتِيَنِى وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ".  

ابن جرير
