Sunan Abi Dawud 4641 (Book 42, Hadith 46) #24932
Comparing Uthman to Jesus

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the comparison of Uthman to Jesus and Allah's promise to clear him of those who blaspheme.

'Awf said: I heard al-Hajjaj addressing the people say: The similitude of 'Uthman with Allah is like the similitude of Jesus son of Mary. He then recited the following verse and explained it: "Behold! Allah said: O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehood) of those who blaspheme". He was making a sign with his hand to us and to the people of Syria.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ظَفَرٍ عَبْدُ السَّلاَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَجَّاجَ، يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَثَلَ عُثْمَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ يَقْرَؤُهَا وَيَفُسِّرُهَا ‏{‏ إِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَىَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ‏}‏ يُشِيرُ إِلَيْنَا بِيَدِهِ وَإِلَى أَهْلِ الشَّامِ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, 'Awf recounts a story in which al-Hajjaj compares the Prophet Uthman to Jesus son of Mary. He then recites a verse from the Quran that speaks about Allah's promise to clear Jesus from those who blaspheme him. Al-Hajjaj was making a sign with his hand both towards 'Awf and the people of Syria, indicating that this same promise applies to Prophet Uthman as well. This hadith teaches us that we should not be quick to judge or accuse someone without evidence, as Allah will protect them from any false accusations or slanderous remarks made against them. It also reminds us that we should always strive for justice and fairness in our dealings with others, no matter what their background may be.
