that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered the pledge of Ridwan, 'Uthman bin 'Affan was the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the people of Makkah. He said: "So the people gave the pledge." He said: "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed 'Uthman is busy with the affair of Allah and the affair of His Messenger' then he ﷺ put one of his hands on the other. The hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on behalf of 'Uthman, was better than their own hands for themselves.

لَمَّا أُمِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِبَيْعَةِ الرِّضْوَانِ كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَبَايَعَ النَّاسَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ اللَّهِ وَحَاجَةِ رَسُولِهِ فَضَرَبَ بِإِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى فَكَانَتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعُثْمَانَ خَيْرًا مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ
