823 – ʿAbd Allah related to us; my father related to me; Muṣʿab ibn Sallām related to us; ʿUyainah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān related to us, from his father, from ʿUthmān ibn Abī al-ʿĀṣ, who said: “Were it not for Jumuʿah and the congregational prayer, I would have built a chamber on the highest part of this house of mine and would not leave it until I was taken out to my grave.”
٨٢٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَوْلَا الْجُمْعَةُ وَالْجَمَاعَةُ لَبْنَيْتُ فِي أَعْلَى دَارِي هَذِهِ بَيْتًا، فَلَمْ أَخْرُجْ مِنْهُ حَتَّى أَخْرُجَ إِلَى قَبْرِي "
