حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارٍ غَيْرُ مُتَّهَمٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَزِنُوا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى كَادَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يُوَسْوِسَ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ فَكُنْتُ مِنْهُمْ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي الْيَمَانِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 24
'Uthman bin 'Affan narrated that when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) died, some of the Companions of the Prophet ^ grieved for him so much that they were almost unaware of what was going on around them. 'Uthman said: I was one of them... and he narrated a hadeeth similar to that of Abul- Yaman from Shu'aib.
