أَبُو مُحْرِزٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ

[Machine] That Uthman ibn Abi al-As and a group from Thaqeef came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they entered upon him, and said to him, "Protect our goods or our camels for us." He said, "You should wait for me when you leave until I come out from the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "So I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him for a copy of the Quran that he had with him, so he gave it to me and appointed me as their leader, even though I was the youngest among them."  

أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ نَاسٍ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا لَهُ احْفَظْ عَلَيْنَا مَتَاعَنَا أَوْ رِكَابَنَا فَقَالَ عَلَى أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا خَرَجْتُمِ انْتَظَرْتُمُونِي حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ مُصْحَفًا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ وَاسْتَعْمَلَنِي عَلَيْهِمْ وَجَعَلَنِي إِمَامَهُمْ وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمْ»
