Hadith #44953
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَرْطَاةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُنْذِرِ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَوْنٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ هَلْ أَنْتَ مُنْتَهٍ عَمَّا بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ فَاعْتَذَرَ بَعْضَ الْعُذْرِ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَيْحَكَ إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ وَحَفِظْتُ وَلَيْسَ كَمَا سَمِعْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَيُقْتَلُ أَمِيرٌ وَيَنْتَزِي مُنْتَزٍ وَإِنِّي أَنَا الْمَقْتُولُ وَلَيْسَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّمَا قَتَلَ عُمَرَ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّهُ يُجْتَمَعُ عَلَيَّ.
Abu Al-Mughirah told us, Artat told us, meaning Ibn Al-Mundhir, Abu Awn Al-Ansari told me, that Uthman bin Affan, may God be pleased with him, told us On his authority, he said to Ibn Masoud, “Are you desisting from what I learned about you?” He made some excuses, then Othman, may God be pleased with him, said, “Woe to you! I have heard and memorized, but it is not what I heard, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: A prince will be killed and a victor will be seized, and I will be the one killed, not Omar, may God be pleased with him, Omar was killed only one person, and they are gathering together against me.
