حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ إِلَی عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ فَجَائَهُ فَقَالَ يَا عُثْمَانُ أَرَغِبْتَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَکِنْ سُنَّتَکَ أَطْلُبُ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَنَامُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ وَأَنْکِحُ النِّسَائَ فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا عُثْمَانُ فَإِنَّ لِأَهْلِکَ عَلَيْکَ حَقًّا وَإِنَّ لِضَيْفِکَ عَلَيْکَ حَقًّا وَإِنَّ لِنَفْسِکَ عَلَيْکَ حَقًّا فَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ وَصَلِّ وَنَمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1369
Narrated Aishah: The Prophet ﷺ called Uthman bin Maz'un. When he came to him, he said: Uthman, did you dislike my practice ? He said: No, by Allah, but I seek your practice. He said: I sleep, I pray, I keep fast, I (sometimes) leave fast, and I marry women. Fear Allah, Uthman, your wife has a right on you, your guest has a right on you, your self has a right on you ; you should keep fast and (sometimes) leave fast, and pray and sleep.
