Uthman receiving the pledge in the valley

suyuti:430-238bAbū Wāʾil > ʿAbdullāh

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "(They satirize) ( ) in this valley toward a man who is receiving the people's pledge of allegiance." So we looked, and there was Uthman ibn Affan.

السيوطي:٤٣٠-٢٣٨bعَنْ أَبِى وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْد اللهِ قَالَ:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «(يَهْجُوُنَ) (~) فِى هَذَا الْوَادِى إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُبَايعُ النَّاسَ»، فَنَظَرَنَا فَإِذَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ.
