Musnad Ahmad 441 (Book 4, Hadith 38) #34112
Following the Example of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the righteousness of 'Uthman and how he followed the example of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in his actions.

It was narrated that an old man of Thaqeef - Humaid said that he was righteous - said that his paternal uncle told him that he saw 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) sitting at the second door of the mosque of the Messenger of Allah . He called for a shoulder of an animal and ate its meat, then he got up and prayed, without doing wudoo’. Then he said: I sat where the Prophet sat and I ate what the Prophet ate, and I did what the Prophet did.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ ذَكَرَهُ حُمَيْدٌ بِصَلَاحٍ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ عَمَّهُ أخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْبَابِ الثَّانِي مِنْ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَدَعَا بِكَتِفٍ فَتَعَرَّقَهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ ثُمَّ قَالَ جَلَسْتُ مَجْلِسَ النَّبِيِّ وَأَكَلْتُ مَا أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ وَصَنَعْتُ مَا صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ ‏.‏
