"عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ زَاهِرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّا وَالله قَدْ صَحِبْنَا رسُولَ الله ﷺ فِى السَّفَرِ وَالْحَضَرِ، وَكَانَ يَعُودُ مَرْضَانَا، وَيُشَيِّعُ جَنَائِزَنَا وَيغْزُو مَعَنَا، ويُوَاسِينَا بِالْقَلِيلِ وَالكَثِيرِ، وَإنَّ نَاسًا يُعْلِمُونِى بِهِ عَسَى أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ أَحَدُهُمْ رَآهُ قَطُّ".

I heard Abbad bin Zahir Abu Ruwaʿ say: I heard ‘Uthman ؓ delivering a khutbah in which he said: By Allah, l accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whilst travelling and not traveling; he used to visit our sick, attend our funerals, go out on campaign with us and comfort us with whatever means he could. Some people tell me about him and perhaps none of them ever saw him.  

أحمد:٥٠٤حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبَّادَ بْنَ زَاهِرٍ أَبَا رُوَاعٍ قَالَسَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ

إِنَّا وَاللهِ قَدْ صَحِبْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْحَضَرِ فكَانَ يَعُودُ مَرْضَانَا وَيَتْبَعُ جَنَائِزَنَا وَيَغْزُو مَعَنَا وَيُوَاسِينَا بِالْقَلِيلِ وَالْكَثِيرِ وَإِنَّ نَاسًا يُعْلِّمُونِي بِهِ عَسَى أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ أَحَدُهُمْ رَآهُ قَطُّ
