Alqama reported: While I was going along with Abdullah bin Masud (RA) in Mina, Uthman bin Affan (RA) happened to meet him and said: Come here, Abu Abdul Rahman (kunya ofAbdullah bin Masud), and he isolated him (from me), and when Abdullah (b. Masud) saw that there was no need (for this privacy), he said to me: Alqama, come on, and so I went there. (Then) Uthman said to him: Abu Abdul Rahman, should we not marry you to a virgin girl that your past may be recalled to your mind? Abdullah said: If you say so, the rest of the hadith is the same as narrated above.
