Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 0, Hadith 113
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “When he was ill, the Messenger of Allah said: ‘I would like to have some of my Companions with me.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Shall we call Abu Bakr for you?’ But he remained silent. We said: ‘Shall we call ‘Umar for you?’ But he remained silent. We said: ‘Shall we call ‘Uthman for you?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ So ‘Uthman came and he spoke to him in private. The Prophet started to speak to him and ‘Uthman’s expression changed.” Qais said: “Abu Sahlah, the freed slave of ‘Uthman, narrated to me that on the Day of the House, ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan said: ‘The Messenger of Allah told me what would come to pass and now I am coming to that day.'”In his narration of the Hadith, ‘Ali (one of the narrators) said (that he said): “And I am going to bear it with patience.” Qais said: “They used to think that that was the Day of the House.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي مَرَضِهِ ” وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ عِنْدِي بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِي ” . قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نَدْعُو لَكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَسَكَتَ قُلْنَا أَلاَ نَدْعُو لَكَ عُمَرَ فَسَكَتَ قُلْنَا أَلاَ نَدْعُو لَكَ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ ” نَعَمْ ” . فَجَاءَ عُثْمَانُ فَخَلاَ بِهِ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُكَلِّمُهُ وَوَجْهُ عُثْمَانَ يَتَغَيَّرُ . قَالَ قَيْسٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَهْلَةَ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ قَالَ يَوْمَ الدَّارِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ عَهْدًا وَأَنَا صَائِرٌ إِلَيْهِ . وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَأَنَا صَابِرٌ عَلَيْهِ . قَالَ قَيْسٌ فَكَانُوا يُرَوْنَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ .
Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 0, Hadith 113
Sahih (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Ibn Majah’s Sunan is an integral part of the six most revered hadith collections in Sunni Islam. Compiled in the 3rd century AH (9th century CE), this volume consists of about 4,000 hadiths that span a vast range of Islamic sciences. Readers will find chapters dedicated to creed, the intricacies of devotional practices, guidelines for ethical behavior, and legal opinions on social conduct. A critical aspect of this collection is that it is often subject to more scrutiny regarding its authenticity. Experts in hadith criticism have pointed out that it contains a number of narrations considered weak or problematic when measured against the rigorous standards of the other five books. Even so, it is an indispensable work for those pursuing advanced Islamic studies.
