حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ
قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِفِنَاءِ بَيْتِهِ بِمَكَّةَ جَالِسٌ، إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ، فَكَشَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَلَا تَجْلِسُ؟
قَالَ: بَلَى، فَجَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُسْتَقْبِلَهُ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُحَدِّثُهُ إِذْ شَخَصَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ: أَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آنِفًا، وَأَنْتَ جَالِسٌ، قَالَ: فَمَا قَالَ لَكَ؟ …
قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ» قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: وَذَلِكَ حِينَ اسْتَقَرَّ الإِيمَانُ فِي قَلْبِي وَأَحْبَبْتُ مُحَمَّدًا
Ibn Abbas told Shahr (ibn Hawshab), “While the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was sitting in the courtyard of his house
in Makka, Uthman ibn Mazun passed by and smiled at the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah
bless him and grant him peace. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said to him, ‘Why don’t you sit down?’
‘I will,’ he said. So
the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sat facing him. While
he was conversing with him, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, stared at the sky and said, ‘A messenger from Allah, Abdullah
came to me just now when you sat sown?’ …
He asked, ‘What did he say to you?’
He said, ‘Allah commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives.
And He forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny. He warns you so that
hopefully you will pay heed.’
(An-Nahl 16:90) Uthman said, ‘That was when
belief was established in my heart and I loved Muhammad.’”
