Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَدِّي أَبُو أُمِّي أَبُو حَبِيبَةَ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ الدَّارَ وَعُثْمَانُ مَحْصُورٌ فِيهَا وَأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عُثْمَانَ فِي الْكَلَامِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَقَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّكُمْ تَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً وَاخْتِلَافًا أَوْ قَالَ اخْتِلَافًا وَفِتْنَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ فَمَنْ لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَمِينِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ وَهُوَ يُشِيرُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بِذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Abu Habibah entered the house while Uthman was besieged in it, and he heard Abu Hurayrah seeking Uthman's permission to speak. He gave him permission, so he stood and praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: 'You will face tribulation and disagreement after me.' A man from the people asked: 'Then who should we follow, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Follow the trustworthy one and his companions,' and he was pointing to Uthman by that."
