حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ إِنِّى لأَمْشِى مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ بِمِنًى إِذْ لَقِيَهُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ فَقَالَ هَلُمَّ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ فَاسْتَخْلاَهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ - قَالَ - قَالَ لِى تَعَالَ يَا عَلْقَمَةُ - قَالَ - فَجِئْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ أَلاَ نُزَوِّجُكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ جَارِيَةً بِكْرًا لَعَلَّهُ يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْهَدُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ. فَذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِى مُعَاوِيَةَ.

It was narrated that 'Alqamah said: "I was walking with Abdullah bin Mas'ud in Mina when he was met by Uthman bin Affan who said: 'Come here, O Abu Abdur Rahman,' He took him aside, and when Abdullah saw that there was no need for that, he said to me: 'Come here, O 'Alqamah,' So I came. Uthman said to him: 'Shall we not marry you, O Abu Abdur Rahman, to a young virgin hoping that you might regain some of that which you had in the past?' Abdullah said: 'If you are telling me that..."" and he mentioned a Hadith similar to that of Abu Mu'awiyah (no.3398).
