حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ أَنَّ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ كَتَبَ مَعِي مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ قَالَ فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَدَفَعْتُ إِلَيْهَا كِتَابَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَتْ فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَنَا وَحَفْصَةُ يَوْمًا مِنْ ذَاكَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُنَا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أَبْعَثُ لَكَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُنَا فَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ أَلَا أُرْسِلُ لَكَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا ثُمَّ دَعَا رَجُلًا فَسَارَّهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَمَا كَانَ إِلَّا أَنْ أَقْبَلَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ بِوَجْهِهِ وَحَدِيثِهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَهُ يَا عُثْمَانُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُقَمِّصَكَ قَمِيصًا فَإِنْ أَرَادُوكَ عَلَى خَلْعِهِ فَلَا تَخْلَعْهُ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَيْنَ كُنْتِ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أُنْسِيتُهُ حَتَّى مَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ.

An-Nu'man ibn Bashir reported: Mu'awiyah sent a letter with me to Aisha. So I came to Aisha and delivered Mu'awiyah's letter to her. She said, "O my son, shall I not tell you something I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" I said, "Yes indeed." She said, "Hafsah and I were once with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said, 'If only we had a man with us to converse with us.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I not send for Abu Bakr for you?' He was silent, then said again, 'If only we had a man with us to converse with us.' Hafsah said, 'Shall I not send for Umar for you?' He was silent, then said, 'No.' Then he called a man and whispered something to him. No sooner had that happened than Uthman arrived, and he turned to him with his face and his conversation, and I heard him say to him, 'O Uthman, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, may clothe you with a garment; if they seek to strip you of it, do not remove it' - three times." I said, "O Mother of the Believers, where were you concerning this hadith [why had you not related it before]?" She said, "O my son, by Allah, I had been made to forget it, so much so that I did not think I had ever heard it."
