Narrated Sad: On the day when Mecca was conquered; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave protection to the People except four men and two women and he named them. Ibn Abu Sarh was one of them. He then narrated the tradition. He said: Ibn Abu Sarh hid himself with Uthman Ibn Affan. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called the people to take the oath of allegiance; he brought him and made him stand before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Messenger of Allah; receive the oath of allegiance from him. He raised his head and looked at him thrice; denying him every time. After the third time he received his oath. He then turned to his Companions and said: Is not there any intelligent man among you who would stand to this man when he saw me desisting from receiving the oath of allegiance; and kill him? They replied: We do not know; Messenger of Allah; what lies in your heart; did you not give us an hint with your eye? He said: It is not proper for a Prophet to have a treacherous eye.Abu Dawud said: Abdullah Bin Abi Sarh was the foster brother of Uthman; and Walid Bin Uqbah was his brother by mother; and Uthman inflicted on him hadd punishment when he drank wine.
