It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a thousand dinars when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was equipping the Army of Hardship (Jaysh al-Usrah), and Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) poured those dinars into the lap of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began turning those dinars over and saying repeatedly: "Whatever Uthman does after this day will not harm him." The chain of this hadith is sahih, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
