حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: مَرَّ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ عَلَى كِلَابِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى مَجْلِسِ الْعَاشِرِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَقَالَ: مَا يُجْلِسُكَ هَاهُنَا؟ قَالَ:، ، اسْتَعْمَلَنِي هَذَا عَلَى هَذَا الْمَكَانِ - يَعْنِي زِيَادًا - فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " كَانَ لِدَاوُدَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ سَاعَةٌ يُوقِظُ فِيهَا أَهْلَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا آلَ دَاوُدَ قُومُوا فَصَلُّوا، فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ سَاعَةٌ يَسْتَجِيبُ اللهُ فِيهَا الدُّعَاءَ، إِلَّا لِسَاحِرٍ أَوْ عَشَّارٍ "، فَرَكِبَ كِلَابُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ سَفِينَتَهُ، فَأَتَى زَيِادًا فَاسْتَعْفَاهُ فَأَعْفَاهُ.

Translation

English translation

Hasan says that once Uthman bin Abi Al-As passed by Kilab bin Umayyah, who was sitting with a collector of ‘ushr in Basra. Uthman asked, "Why are you sitting here?" Kilab replied, "Ziyad has appointed me as the person in charge of this place." He said, "Shall I not tell you a hadith which I heard from the Prophet (ﷺ)?" Kilab said, "Why not?" He said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: Allah’s Prophet, Dawud, used to wake up his family at a specific time of the night and say, 'O family of Dawud, get up and pray, for at this time Allah accepts supplications, except for a magician or a collector of ‘ushr.'" Upon hearing this, Kilab bin Umayyah boarded his boat, went to Ziyad, and resigned. Ziyad accepted his resignation.
