Hadith Number: 6392
عن يزيد بن موهب ان عثمان قال لابن عمر: اقض بين الناس، فقال له: لا اقضي بين اثنين ولا اؤم رجلين، اما سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول: ((من عاذ بالله فقد عاذ بمعاذ)) قال عثمان: بلى، قال: فإني اعوذ بالله ان تستعملني، فاعفاه وقال: لا تخبر بهذا احدا
It is narrated from Yazid bin Moheb that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): Decide among the people. He replied: I will neither be a judge between two men nor an imam of two men. O Uthman! Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever seeks refuge with Allah Almighty, he has sought a great refuge? Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, of course. He said: Then I seek refuge with Allah Almighty from you appointing me as an official. So Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) excused him, but said: Do not narrate this hadith to anyone else.
