حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سِنَانٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ:، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ: اقْضِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ. فَقَالَ: لَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ، وَلا أَؤُمُّ رَجُلَيْنِ، أَمَا سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: " مَنْ عَاذَ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ عَاذَ بِمَعَاذٍ؟ " قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: بَلَى. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ تَسْتَعْمِلَنِي. فَأَعْفَاهُ، وَقَالَ: لَا تُخْبِرْ بِهَذَا أَحَدًا (٣) .، ،

English translation
It was narrated from Yazeed bin Mawhab that `Uthman (رضي الله عنه) said to Ibn `Umar (رضي الله عنه). Judge between the people. He said:
I will not judge between two people or lead two men in prayer. Did you not hear the Prophet (ﷺ) say, `Whoever seeks refuge with Allah has indeed sought refuge with a powerful one`?`Uthman (رضي الله عنه) said. Yes I did. He said: then I seek refuge with Allah lest you appoint me to some post. So Uthman (رضي الله عنه) let him off and said: Do not tell anyone else about this.
