The previous hadith is also narrated through another chain of transmission.

Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman says that during the days when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged, once he looked out from the upper chamber of his house and said: I ask those who were present in the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him), by Allah, regarding the "Day of Hira", when Mount Hira began to shake and the Prophet (peace be upon him) struck it with his blessed foot and said: "O Mount Hira! Be still, for there is none upon you except a Prophet, a Siddiq, and two martyrs." Was I present on that occasion? Many people affirmed this for him. Then he said: I ask those who were present in the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him), by Allah, regarding the "Pledge of Ridwan", when the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent me to the polytheists of Makkah and, considering his own hand as my hand, took the pledge to avenge my blood on my behalf? Many people again affirmed this for him. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I ask those who were present in the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him), by Allah, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Who will expand this mosque of ours in exchange for a house in Paradise?" Did I not buy land with my wealth and expand this mosque? People affirmed this for him as well. Then he said: I ask the companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them), by Allah, regarding the "Army of Difficulty" (which is another name for the Battle of Tabuk), when the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Who will spend today? What he gives will be accepted." Did I not provide equipment for half the army with my wealth? People affirmed this for him as well. Then he said: I ask the companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them), by Allah, regarding the "Well of Rumah", whose water was sold even to travelers, did I not buy it with my wealth and dedicate it for travelers as well? Is this not so? People affirmed this for him as well.

Humran narrates that once I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) performing ablution. He first poured water on both his hands, then washed both hands three times, then washed his face three times, rinsed his mouth and put water into his nose, washed his arms including the elbows three times, then wiped his head, and washed his feet including the ankles three times. He then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performing ablution in this manner, after which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs ablution like this of mine and then offers two units of prayer in such a way that he does not let thoughts and distractions enter his heart, Allah Almighty will forgive all his past sins.

Nabiyah bin Wahb says that Umar bin Ubaidullah once asked Sayyiduna Aban bin Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) about this issue: Can a muhrim apply kohl to his eyes? He sent back the reply that he can apply kohl of sabr (aloe), (he should be patient and not apply kohl until he comes out of ihram), because I heard Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate such a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is certain that prayer is true and obligatory will enter Paradise."

Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with the intention of Hajj. When he had covered some part of the journey, someone went to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) has prohibited Hajj Tamattu'. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions: "When he departs, you also set out." Thus, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions donned the Ihram for Umrah. When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) found out, he did not say anything to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this matter. Rather, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) himself asked him, "I have heard that you prohibit Hajj Tamattu'?" He replied, "Yes!" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not perform Hajj Tamattu'?" The narrator says: I do not know what reply Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him.

Malik bin Aws bin Hadthan says that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for me, and while we were sitting, Sayyiduna Umar’s slave, whose name was“Yarfa,”came in and said,“Sayyiduna Uthman, Abdur Rahman, Sa’d, and Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with them) are seeking permission to enter?”He said,“Let them in.”After a short while, the slave came again and said,“Sayyiduna Abbas and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) are seeking permission to enter?”He said,“Let them in as well.”As soon as Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) entered, he said,“O Commander of the Faithful! Decide between me and him.”At that time, their dispute was about the property of Fay’ obtained from Banu Nadir. The people also said,“O Commander of the Faithful! Decide between them and grant each relief from the other, for their dispute is only increasing.”Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“I ask you by Allah, by whose command the heavens and the earth are established, do you know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Inheritance is not established in our property; whatever we leave behind is all charity?’”The people replied in the affirmative. Then he asked the same question to Sayyiduna Abbas and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), and they also affirmed it. After that, he said,“I will inform you of the reality of this. Allah gave this property of Fay’ exclusively to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); no one else was given anything from it, and He said: «وما افاء الله على رسول منهم فما او جفتم عليه من خيل ولا ركا ب» Therefore, this property was specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but by Allah! He did not keep it for himself to the exclusion of you, nor did he prefer himself over you with this property. He distributed this property among you until only a little remained, from which he would provide for his family for a year, and if anything was left over from that, he would distribute it in the way of Allah. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I am responsible and caretaker of his property, and I will follow the same method as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to follow regarding it.”

Aban bin Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a funeral and stood up, and said: I have also seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) standing at this occasion.

Abu Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that on both occasions of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, I had the opportunity to be present with Sayyiduna Uthman and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both). Both of these noble companions would first lead the prayer, and after completing the prayer, they would advise the people. I heard both of them say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on these two days.

It is narrated from Humran, who was the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), that I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) performing ablution: he poured water over his hands three times, put water into his nose three times, rinsed his mouth three times, and mentioned the complete hadith which has already been mentioned earlier.
