'Abdullah said: Abu Musa al-'Anazi narrated to me, he said: 'Abd al-Samad ibn 'Abd al-Warith narrated to us, he said: Sakan ibn al-Mughirah narrated to me, he said: al-Walid ibn Abi Hisham narrated to me, from Farqad Abu Talhah, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Khabbab al-Sulami, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, went out and urged people on for the Army of Hardship (Tabuk). 'Uthman ibn 'Affan said: "I will provide a hundred camels with their saddle-blankets and packsaddles." He said: Then he urged again, and 'Uthman said: "I will provide another hundred with their saddle-blankets and packsaddles." He said: Then he descended a step from the pulpit, and urged again, and 'Uthman ibn 'Affan said: "I will provide another hundred with their saddle-blankets and packsaddles." He said: I saw the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying with his hand like this, moving it -- and 'Abd al-Samad put out his hand as if in amazement -- "Nothing will harm 'Uthman, whatever he does after this." 'Abdullah said: Abu Musa al-'Anazi narrated to me, he said: 'Uthman ibn 'Umar narrated to us, he said: Sakan ibn al-Mughirah narrated to us, he said: al-Walid ibn Hisham narrated to us, from Abu Talhah, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Khabbab al-Sulami, who said: I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, deliver a sermon urging on the Army of Hardship. And he mentioned it.
