428 - 'Abd al-Malik informed me, saying: Ibn Hanbal narrated to us, saying: Hushaym narrated to us, from Mansur, from Ibn Sirin, who said: Na'ilah bint al-Farafisah said: "Whether you kill him or leave him, he used to enliven the night with a single rak'ah in which he would gather the [entire] Qur'an," meaning 'Uthman."
٤٢٨ - أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، قَالَ: ثَنَا ابْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، قَالَ: ثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ نَايِلَةُ بِنْتُ الْفُرَافِصَةِ: «أَنْ تَقْتُلُوهُ، أَوْ تَدَعُوهُ، فَقَدْ كَانَ يُحْيِي اللَّيْلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ يَجْمَعُ فِيهَا الْقُرْآنَ، يَعْنِي عُثْمَانَ»
