بَابٌ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ ، وَوَفَاتِهِ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ . 14536 عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَوَالَةَ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ دَوْمَةٍ وَعِنْدَهُ كَاتِبٌ يُمْلِي عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا أَكْتُبُكَ يَا ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ ؟ " . قُلْتُ : لَا أَدْرِي ، مَا خَارَ اللَّهُ لِي وَرَسُولُهُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي ، وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ مَرَّةً : فَأَكَبَّ يُمْلِي عَلَيْهِ - ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَنَكْتُبُكَ يَا ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ ؟ " . قُلْتُ : لَا أَدْرِي ، مَا خَارَ اللَّهُ لِي وَرَسُولُهُ ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي ، وَأَكَبَّ عَلَى كَاتِبِهِ يُمْلِي عَلَيْهِ . قَالَ : فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا فِي الْكِتَابِ عُمَرُ ، فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ لَا يُكْتَبُ إِلَّا فِي خَيْرٍ . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَنَكْتُبُكَ يَا ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ ؟ " . قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ قَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ ، كَيْفَ نَفْعَلُ فِي فِتَنٍ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الْأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهَا صَيَاصِيِّ بَقَرٍ ؟ " . قُلْتُ : لَا أَدْرِي ، مَا خَارَ اللَّهُ لِي وَرَسُولُهُ ، [ قَالَ : وَكَيْفَ تَفْعَلُ فِي أُخْرَى تَخْرُجُ بَعْدَهَا كَأَنَّ الْأُولَى فِيهَا انْتِفَاخَةُ أَرْنَبٍ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا أَدْرِي ، مَا خَارَ اللُّهُ لِي وَرَسُولُهُ ] . قَالَ : " اتَّبِعُوا هَذَا " . وَرَجُلٌ مُقَفٍّ حِينَئِذٍ ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَسَعَيْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَنْكِبِهِ ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قُلْتُ : هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " . فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hawalah (may Allah be pleased with him) states: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in the shade of a tree, and with him was a scribe to whom he was dictating. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Hawalah! Shall I not have something written for you?" I said: "I do not know; whatever Allah and His Messenger choose for me, that will be best for me." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away. The narrator Isma'il once narrated these words: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began dictating to that man. Then he asked: "O Ibn Hawalah! Shall I not have something written for you?" I said: "I do not know; whatever Allah and His Messenger choose for me, that will be right." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from me and kept dictating to the person writing beside him. The narrator says: I looked, and in that writing there was a mention of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and I realised that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would only be mentioned in connection with good. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Ibn Hawalah! Shall I not have something written for you?" I said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Hawalah! What will you do in the time of trials, when they emerge from the corners of the earth like the horns of cattle?" I said: "I do not know! Whatever Allah and His Messenger choose for me (that will be right)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What will you do then, when another trial comes after the first one, and compared to that second trial the first will be as though a rabbit had leapt?" I said: "I do not know; whatever Allah and His Messenger choose for me (that will be right)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Follow this man." At that moment a man was walking away from there. I ran after him, took hold of his shoulder, and turning his face towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I asked: "This one?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Yes!" And that man was Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him).

وَعَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ قَالَ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مُعَسْكِرِينَ مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ عُثْمَانَ ، فَقَامَ مُرَّةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْبَهْزِيُّ فَقَالَ : أَنَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَا قُمْتُ هَذَا الْمَقَامَ . فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ذِكْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَجْلَسَ النَّاسَ قَالَ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جُلُوسٌ إِذْ مَرَّ بِنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ مُتَرَجِّلًا مُعْدِقًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَتَخْرُجَنَّ فِتْنَةٌ مِنْ تَحْتِ رِجْلَيْ - أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمَيْ - هَذَا ، وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدَى " . فَقُمْتُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِمَنْكِبَيْ عُثْمَانَ حَتَّى بَيَّنْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ هَذَا ، وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدَى " .

Jubayr bin Nufayr states: Once we were encamped with Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him); this was after the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Murrah bin Ka'b al-Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: "By Allah! Had I not heard something from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I would not have stood up in this place." When Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) heard that he was mentioning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he made the people sit down. Then Sayyiduna Murrah bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) stated: Once we were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by us; he had combed his hair and gathered it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A trial will soon emerge from beneath the feet (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are) from beneath the two feet of this man, and at that time this man and those who follow him will be upon guidance." The narrator says: I rose, took hold of both shoulders of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), turned him towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: "This man?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! This man, and whoever follows him, will be upon guidance at that time." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hawalah al-Azdi (may Allah be pleased with him), who was near the pulpit, stood up and said: "You are the narrator of this?" He replied: "Yes." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hawalah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! I too was present at that gathering. Had I known that there was someone in this army who would confirm my word, I would have been the first to speak about it." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Murrah bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) was also recorded by al-Tirmidhi.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was "al-Siddiq"; you named him rightly. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was a horn made of iron. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was "Dhu al-Nurayn (the possessor of two lights)"; you named him rightly. He was killed wrongfully, and he was given a double portion of reward.

وَعَنْ حَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَاعِدَةً وَعَائِشَةُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ مَعِي بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِي نَتَحَدَّثُ " . فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : أُرْسِلُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ يَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَكَ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " . قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ : أُرْسِلُ إِلَى عُمَرَ يَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَكَ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، وَلَكِنْ أُرْسِلُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ " .
فَجَاءَ عُثْمَانُ فَدَخَلَ ، فَقَامَتَا فَأَرْخَتَا السِّتْرَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِعُثْمَانَ : " إِنَّكَ مَقْتُولٌ مُسْتَشْهَدٌ ، فَاصْبِرْ صَبَّرَكَ اللَّهُ ، وَلَا تَخْلَعَنَّ قَمِيصًا قَمَّصَكَهُ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَسِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ حَتَّى تَلْقَى اللَّهَ ، وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ " . قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : إِنْ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِي بِالصَّبْرِ ، فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ صَبِّرْهُ " . فَخَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ ، فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " صَبَّرَكَ اللَّهُ ; فَإِنَّكَ سَوْفَ تُسْتَشْهَدُ وَتَمُوتُ وَأَنْتَ صَائِمٌ ، وَتُفْطِرُ مَعِي " .

It is reported about Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Once she and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I wish that one of my Companions were with me, so that we could talk." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Shall I send for Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), so that he may talk with you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Shall I send for Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so that he may talk with you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather I will send for Uthman." Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and as he was coming in, the two women rose and let down the curtain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): "You will be killed and you will be martyred, so be patient - may Allah Almighty grant you patience - and do not take off the shirt that Allah Almighty has clothed you with; that shirt will remain on you for twelve years and six months, until you appear before Allah Almighty, and Allah Almighty will be pleased with you." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It would be fitting if the Prophet of Allah were to supplicate for patience for me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Grant him patience." Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) went out and left, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying: "May Allah Almighty grant you patience; you will drink the cup of martyrdom, and you will die in a state in which you are fasting, and you will break your fast with me."

وَعَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجِسْرِيِّ قَالَ : دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَعِنْدَهَا حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ ، فَقَالَتْ لِي : هَذِهِ حَفْصَةُ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : أَنْشُدُكِ اللَّهَ أَنْ تُصَدِّقِينِي بِكَذِبٍ ، أَوْ تُكَذِّبِينِي بِصِدْقٍ [ قُلْتِهِ ] : تَعْلَمِينَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقُلْتُ لَكِ : أَتَرَيْنَهُ قَدْ قُبِضَ ؟ قُلْتِ : لَا أَدْرِي ، ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ قَالَ : " افْتَحُوا لَهُ الْبَابَ " . ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقُلْتُ لَكِ : أَتَرَيْنَهُ قَدْ قُبِضَ ؟ قُلْتِ : لَا أَدْرِي ، ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ قَالَ : " افْتَحُوا لَهُ الْبَابَ " فَقُلْتُ لَكِ : أَبِي أَوْ أَبُوكِ ؟ قُلْتِ : لَا أَدْرِي ، فَفَتَحْنَا لَهُ الْبَابَ فَإِذَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " ادْنُهْ " . فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَسَارَّهُ بِشَيْءٍ لَا أَدْرِي أَنَا وَأَنْتِ مَا هُوَ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَفَهِمْتَ مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
قَالَ : " ادْنُهْ " . فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَى مِثْلَهَا ، فَسَارَّهُ بِشَيْءٍ لَا نَدْرِي مَا هُوَ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَفَهِمَتْ مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " ادْنُهْ " . فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ إِكْبَابًا شَدِيدًا فَسَارَّهُ بِشَيْءٍ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَفَهِمْتَ مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : [ نَعَمْ ] سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ ، وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي . فَقَالَ لَهُ : " اخْرُجْ " . قَالَ : فَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ - أَوْ قَالَتْ : اللَّهُمَّ صِدْقٌ - .

Abu Abdullah al-Jasri states: I came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and Sayyidah Hafsah bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was also present with her. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to me: "This is Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) turned to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "I ask you by Allah: if I say something false, tell me so, and if I speak the truth, tell me so as well." Then Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her: "Do you know that you and I were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fainted? I asked you: 'Do you think the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has passed away?' You said: 'I do not know.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regained consciousness, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Open the door for him.' Then he fainted again, and I asked you: 'Do you think the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has passed away?' You said: 'I do not know.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regained consciousness, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Open the door for him.' I said to you: 'Does the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mean my father or your father?' You said: 'I do not know.' We opened the door, and there was Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him, he said: 'Come close.' He bent over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said something to him in a whisper; neither I nor you know what it was. Then he raised his head, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Have you understood what I said to you?' He replied: 'Yes.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Come close.' So Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) bent over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a second time in the same way, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said something in a whisper, which we could not find out. Then he raised his head, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Have you understood what I said to you?' He replied: 'Yes.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Come close.' So he bent over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) even more, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said something in a whisper. Then he raised his head, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Have you understood what I said to you?' He replied: 'Yes, my ears have heard it and my heart has preserved it.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: 'Go.'" Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: "Allah knows, it is so" (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are) she said: "O Allah! She has spoken the truth." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The hadith narrated by Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was recorded by Ibn Majah, without this context. Ahmad recorded all of these narrations. Al-Tabarani recorded something similar in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and narrated these additional words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Uthman, Allah Almighty will soon clothe you with a shirt; when the hypocrites seek to make you take it off, do not take it off." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times. Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "O Mother of the Believers! Where were you with regard to this hadith?" She said: "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! I had forgotten it, until that man was killed."
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ عِنْدَ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ أَيْضًا : فَمَا فَجَأَنِي إِلَّا وَعُثْمَانُ جَاثٍ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ قَائِلًا : أَظُلْمًا وَعُدْوَانًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ بِقَتْلِهِ . وَأَحَدُ إِسْنَادَيِ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ حَسَنٌ .
In a narration recorded by al-Tabarani the wording is: At that very moment Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was on his knees, saying: "O Messenger of Allah! Will it be through wrongdoing and aggression?" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: My estimation is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had told him that he would be killed. One of al-Tabarani's chains is hasan (good).
وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ : أَنَّ رَجُلًا بِالْكُوفَةِ شَهِدَ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا ، فَأَخَذَتْهُ الزَّبَانِيَةُ ، فَرَفَعُوهُ إِلَى أَعْلَى ، وَقَالُوا : لَوْلَا أَنْ تَنْهَانَا أَوْ نُهِينَا أَلَّا نَقْتُلَ أَحَدًا لَقَتَلْنَاهُ ، زَعَمَ إِنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا . فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِعَلِيٍّ : وَأَنْتَ تَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ شَهِيدٌ ! ! أَتَذْكُرُ أَنِّي أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَأَعْطَانِي ، وَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَأَعْطَانِي ، وَأَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَأَعْطَانِي ، وَأَتَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَأَعْطَانِي ؟ قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، ادْعُ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُبَارِكَ لِي ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " كَيْفَ لَا يُبَارِكُ لَكَ وَأَعْطَاكَ نَبِيٌّ وَصِدِّيقٌ وَشَهِيدَانِ ، وَأَعْطَاكَ نَبِيٌّ وَصِدِّيقٌ وَشَهِيدَانِ ، وَأَعْطَاكَ نَبِيٌّ وَصِدِّيقٌ وَشَهِيدَانِ ؟ !

Muhammad bin Sirin states: In Kufah there was a man who used to testify that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) had been killed as a martyr. The guards seized him and brought him to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). The people said: "Had you not forbidden us (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are) had we not been forbidden from killing anyone, we would have killed this man. He claims: 'I testify that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was killed as a martyr.'" Then a man said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "You too testify that he was a martyr! Do you remember that I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for something, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave it to me? Then I came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, and he too gave to me. Then I came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, and he too gave to me. Then I came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, and he too gave to me. Then I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah Almighty that He grant me blessing.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'How could you not be granted blessing when a Prophet, a Siddiq and two martyrs have given to you? A Prophet, a Siddiq and two martyrs have given to you; a Prophet, a Siddiq and two martyrs have given to you.'"

وَعَنْ أَسْلَمَ - مَوْلَى عُمَرَ - قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَوْمَ حُوصِرَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْجَنَائِزِ ، وَلَوْ أُلْقِيَ حَجَرٌ لَمْ يَقَعْ إِلَّا عَلَى رَأْسِ رَجُلٍ ، فَرَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ أَشْرَفَ مِنَ الْخَوْخَةِ الَّتِي [ تَلِي ] مَقَامَ جِبْرِيلَ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، أَنَبِيُّكُمْ طَلْحَةُ ؟ فَسَكَتُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، أَفِيكُمْ طَلْحَةُ ؟ فَسَكَتُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، أَفِيكُمْ طَلْحَةُ ؟ فَقَامَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ : أَلَا أَرَاكَ هَاهُنَا ، مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّكَ [ تَكُونُ ] فِي جَمَاعَةِ قَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ نِدَائِي آخِرَ ثَلَاثِ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ لَا تُجِيبُنِي ! ! أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ يَا طَلْحَةُ ، أَتَذْكُرُ يَوْمَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرَكَ قَالَ [ : نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ ] لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا طَلْحَةُ ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا مَعَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ رَفِيقٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ [ مَعَهُ ] فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَإِنَّ عُثْمَانَ هَذَا " - يَعْنِينِي - " رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ " . قَالَ طَلْحَةُ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ .

Aslam, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), states: I was present when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged at the place of the funerals (and there were so many people there that) if a stone had been thrown, it would have landed on someone's head. I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) look out from the small window; this is the window next to the place where Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) used to stand. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O people! Is Talhah among you?" The people remained silent. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O people! Is Talhah among you?" The people remained silent. Then he said: "O people! Is Talhah among you?" Then Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do I not see you here? I did not think that you would be in a group that hears my call and, despite my calling three times, you would not answer me. O Talhah, I ask you by Allah: do you remember when you and I were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at such-and-such a place, and none of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with him except me and you?" Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Yes." (Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) "At that time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to you: 'O Talhah! Every Prophet has, from among his Companions, a companion from his Ummah who will be with him in Paradise, and this Uthman is my companion in Paradise' - the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant me." Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Allah knows, it is so." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) recorded part of this narration with a munqati' (broken) chain.
Abdullah, Abu Ya'la in al-Kabir, and al-Bazzar recorded it. The chain of Abdullah and al-Bazzar contains a narrator, Abu Ubadah al-Zuraqi, who is matruk (abandoned); Abu Ya'la dropped him from the chain. And Allah knows best.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أُمِّهِ قَالَ : خَرَجَتِ الصَّعْبَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ، فَسَمِعْنَاهَا تَقُولُ لِابْنِهَا طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ : إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ قَدِ اشْتَدَّ حَصْرُهُ فَلَوْ كَلَّمْتَ فِيهِ حَتَّى يُرَفَّهَ عَنْهُ . قَالَ : وَطَلْحَةُ يَغْسِلُ أَحَدَ شِقَّيْ رَأْسِهِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهَا ، فَأَدْخَلَتْ يَدَيْهَا فِي كُمِّ دِرْعِهَا ، فَأَخْرَجَتْ ثَدْيَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ : أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا حَمَلْتُكَ وَأَرْضَعْتُكَ إِلَّا فَعَلْتَ ، فَقَامَ وَلَوَى شِقَّيَ شَعْرِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى عَقَدَهُ وَهُوَ مَغْسُولٌ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلِيًّا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي جَنْبِ دَارِهِ ، فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ وَمَعَهُ أُمُّهُ وَأُمُّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ : لَوْ رَفَّهْتَ النَّاسَ عَنْ هَذَا فَقَدِ اشْتَدَّ حَصْرُهُ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ مَا أُحِبُّ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ .

Abdullah bin Abi Rafi' narrates the following statement from his mother: Once al-Sa'bah bint al-Hadrami came out, and we heard her saying to her son Talhah bin Ubaydullah: "The siege of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) has become severe; you should speak about it so that he may be given relief." At that time Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) had washed one side of his head. He did not give her any answer, so she put her hand into her sleeve, brought out her breast and said: "By the carrying of you and the nursing of you that I did, I adjure you to do this without fail." So Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up at once, twisted the hair on that side of his head, which had been washed, and tied it in a knot. Then he went out from there and came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who was sitting outside his house. Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) was there, with his mother, and the mother of Abdullah bin Abi Rafi' was with them. Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It would be appropriate if you tried to keep the people away from this man, for his siege has become severe." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! In this matter I do not like anything that he dislikes."

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ : أَنَّهُ قَالَ حِينَ هَاجَ النَّاسُ فِي أَمْرِ عُثْمَانَ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، لَا تَقْتُلُوا هَذَا الشَّيْخَ وَاسْتَعْتِبُوهُ ; فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ تَقْتُلَ أُمَّةٌ نَبِيَّهَا فَيَصْلُحَ أَمْرُهُمْ حَتَّى يُهْرَاقَ دِمَاءُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنْهُمْ ، وَلَنْ تَقْتُلَ أُمَّةٌ خَلِيفَتَهَا فَيَصْلُحَ أَمْرُهُمْ حَتَّى يُهْرَاقَ دِمَاءُ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنْهُمْ . فَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا فِيمَا قَالَ وَقَتَلُوهُ ، فَجَلَسَ لِعَلِيٍّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ ؟ فَقَالَ : أُرِيدُ أَرْضَ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ : لَا تَأْتِ الْعِرَاقَ وَعَلَيْكَ بِمِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - . فَوَثَبَ بِهِ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَلِيٍّ وَهَمُّوا بِهِ ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ . فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لِابْنِ مَعْقِلٍ : هَذِهِ رَأَسُ الْأَرْبَعِينَ ، وَسَيَكُونُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا صُلْحٌ ، وَلَنْ تَقْتُلَ أُمَّةٌ نَبِيَّهَا إِلَّا قُتِلَ بِهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا ، وَلَنْ تَقْتُلَ أُمَّةٌ خَلِيفَتَهَا إِلَّا قُتِلَ بِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفًا .

It is reported about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the people became agitated over the matter of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "O people! Do not kill this elder; rather, ask him to set matters right. For no nation ever killed its Prophet but that its affairs did not become right until the blood of seventy thousand of them had been shed, and no nation ever killed its Caliph but that its affairs did not become right until the blood of forty thousand of them had been shed." But those people paid no attention to what Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said, and they martyred Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). Once Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on the road and asked: "Where do you intend to go?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "I intend to go to the land of Iraq." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do not go there; rather, stay by the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah." Some of the companions of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to attack him, but Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Leave him, for he is one of us, the People of the House." When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Ibn Ma'qil: "This is the year forty, and at its head there will be a reconciliation. Whenever a nation kills its Prophet, seventy thousand people are killed in exchange for him, and whenever a nation kills its Caliph, forty thousand people are killed in exchange for him."

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ : أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ ، فَدَخَلَ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَمَرَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ مِمَّا يَلِي السَّرِيرَ أَنْ يُوَسِّعَا لَهُ ، فَأَوْسَعَا لَهُ فَجَلَسَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَجَّاجُ : لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ ! أَتَعْلَمُ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَهُ أَبُوكَ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ جَدِّكَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ ؟ قَالَ : فَأَيُّ حَدِيثٍ - رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ - قُرْبَ حَدِيثٍ قَالَ : حَدِيثُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ حِينَ حَصَرُوا عُثْمَانَ . قَالَ : قَدْ عَلِمْتُ ذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثَ .
أَقْبَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ وَعُثْمَانُ مَحْصُورٌ ، فَانْطَلَقَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَوَسَّعُوا لَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ ، فَقَالَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَقَالَ : وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ ، مَا جَاءَ بِكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ ؟ قَالَ : قَدْ جِئْتُ لِأَثْبُتَ حَتَّى أَسْتَشْهِدَ أَوْ يَفْتَحَ اللَّهُ لَكَ ، وَلَا أَرَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ إِلَّا قَاتِلُوكَ ; فَإِنْ يَقْتُلُوكَ فَذَاكَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ وَشَرٌّ لَهُمْ . فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : أَسْأَلُكَ بِالَّذِي لِي عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ لَمَا خَرَجْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، خَيْرٌ يَسُوقُهُ اللَّهُ بِكَ ، وَشَرٌّ يَدْفَعُهُ بِكَ اللَّهُ . فَسَمِعَ وَأَطَاعَ ، فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ اجْتَمَعُوا ، وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَهُمْ بِبَعْضِ مَا يُسَرُّونَ بِهِ ، فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا ; يُبَشِّرُ بِالْجَنَّةِ مَنْ أَطَاعَهُ وَيُنْذِرُ بِالنَّارِ مَنْ عَصَاهُ ، وَأَظْهَرَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ ، ثُمَّ اخْتَارَ لَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ . ثُمَّ اخْتَارَ لَهُ الْمَسَاكِنَ ; فَاخْتَارَ لَهُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَعَلَهَا دَارَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَجَعَلَهَا دَارَ الْإِيمَانِ ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَافِّينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مُذْ قَدِمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى الْيَوْمِ ، وَمَا زَالَ سَيْفُ اللَّهِ مَغْمُودًا عَنْكُمْ مُذْ قَدِمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى الْيَوْمِ .
ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِالْحَقِّ ; فَمَنِ اهْتَدَى فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي بِهُدَى اللَّهِ ، وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ بَعْدَ الْبَيَانِ وَالْحُجَّةِ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْتَلْ نَبِيٌّ فِيمَا مَضَى إِلَّا قُتِلَ بِهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مُقَاتِلٍ كُلُّهُمْ يُقْتَلُ بِهِ ، وَلَا قُتِلَ خَلِيفَةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا قُتِلَ بِهِ خَمْسَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ أَلْفَ مُقَاتِلٍ كُلُّهُمْ يُقْتَلُ بِهِ ، فَلَا تَعْجَلُوا عَلَى هَذَا الشَّيْخِ بِقَتْلٍ ; فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَقْتُلُهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَدُهُ مَقْطُوعَةٌ مَشْلُولَةٌ ، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِوَلَدٍ عَلَى وَالِدٍ حَقٌّ إِلَّا وَلِهَذَا الشَّيْخِ عَلَيْكُمْ مِثْلُهُ .
قَالَ : فَقَالُوا : كَذَبَتِ الْيَهُودُ ، كَذَبَتِ الْيَهُودُ . فَقَالَ : كَذَبْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ وَأَنْتُمْ آثِمُونَ مَا أَنَا بِيَهُودِيٍّ ، وَإِنِّي لَأَحَدُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ بِذَلِكَ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ، وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ : ( قُلْ كَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابِ ) ، وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ الْآيَةَ الْأُخْرَى : ( قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَكَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مِثْلِهِ فَآمَنَ وَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ ) . قَالَ : فَقَامُوا ، فَدَخَلُوا عَلَى عُثْمَانَ فَذَبَحُوهُ كَمَا يُذْبَحُ الْحِلَّانُ .
قَالَ شُعَيْبٌ : فَقُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ : مَا الْحِلَّانُ ؟ قَالَ : الْحَمَلُ .

Abdul Malik bin Umayr states: Muhammad bin Yusuf bin Abdullah bin Salam asked permission to enter upon al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf; permission was given to him, so he came in and gave the greeting of peace. Al-Hajjaj ordered two men who were near the couch to make room for him; the two of them made room for him, and he sat down. Al-Hajjaj said to him: "May Allah bless your father! Do you know that your father narrated a hadith to Abdul Malik bin Marwan from your grandfather Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him)?" He asked: "May Allah Almighty have mercy on you, which hadith was it? Present that hadith." Al-Hajjaj said: "It was the hadith of the people of Egypt, from the time when they had besieged Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)." He said: "I know that hadith." "Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came while Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was under siege. He walked up and came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him); the people made room for him and he went inside. He said: 'O Commander of the Believers! Peace be upon you.' Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'And upon you be peace. O Abdullah bin Salam! What has brought you?' He replied: 'I have come to stand by you until I drink the cup of martyrdom or Allah Almighty grants you victory. My view of these people is that they will kill you; if they kill you, that will be better for you and evil for them.' Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'By the right I have over you, I ask you to go out to them; (perhaps there is) some good which Allah Almighty will bring about through you, or some evil which Allah Almighty will ward off through you.' So he listened and obeyed. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) went out to them. When those people saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him), they gathered together, thinking that he had perhaps brought them some news that would please them. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up to deliver a sermon; after praising and extolling Allah Almighty, he said: 'To proceed: Indeed, Allah Almighty sent Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner; he gave glad tidings of Paradise to whoever obeyed him and warned of punishment whoever disobeyed him. And Allah Almighty made those who followed him prevail over all religions, even though the polytheists disliked it. Then Allah Almighty chose a dwelling place for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): He chose Madinah for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), made it the abode of emigration and made it the abode of faith. By Allah! The angels have continually surrounded Madinah since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came here, and from the time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came here until now, the sword of Allah has remained sheathed with regard to you.' After this, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Indeed, Allah Almighty sent Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with the truth. So whoever is guided is guided only by the guidance of Allah Almighty, and whoever goes astray goes astray only after the clear explanation and the proof. In former times, whenever any Prophet was killed, seventy thousand people were killed in exchange for him, all of them killed in exchange for that Prophet; and whenever any Caliph was killed, thirty-five thousand people were killed in exchange for him, all of them killed in exchange for him. So do not hasten to kill this elder. By Allah! Whoever among you kills him will appear before Allah Almighty on the Day of Resurrection with his hand cut off and paralysed. And know that whatever right a child has over a father, this elder has a like right over you.' The narrator says: The people began saying: 'The Jew has lied! The Jew has lied!' Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'You are lying, by Allah, and you are sinners! I am not a Jew; I am one of the Muslims; Allah Almighty, His Messenger and the believers know this. And this verse of the Qur'an was revealed about me: "Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you, and whoever has knowledge of the Book." And Allah Almighty revealed another verse (about me) as well: "Say: Have you considered, if it is from Allah and you have disbelieved in it, and a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to something like it, and he believed while you were arrogant?"' The narrator says: Those people then rose, went in to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and slaughtered him as a hullan is slaughtered." The narrator Shu'ayb says: I asked Abdul Malik bin Umayr: "What is a hullan?" He replied: "A lamb." The narrator says: Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) had said to Kathir bin al-Salt: "O Kathir! By Allah! Tomorrow I will be killed." Kathir replied: "No, rather Allah Almighty will raise your standing and disgrace your enemy." This exchange took place three times, and each time Kathir said the same. Then he said: "O Commander of the Believers." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah in a dream, and with him were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'O Uthman! Tomorrow you will be with us, and tomorrow you will be martyred.' So, by Allah! I will be martyred." The narrator says: Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) went out to the people; he came before they dispersed and said: "O people of Egypt! O killers of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)! You have killed the Commander of the Believers. By Allah! Covenants have been broken, blood has been shed, wealth has been divided; you will not be given drink."

Al-Hasan states: I lived in the time of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him); in those days I was close to puberty. I heard him delivering a sermon, saying - I was present there - he was saying: "O people! What objection do you have against me?" He said: Every day they would distribute much good (that is, they would distribute wealth). Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) would say: "O people, come to me in the morning; I will give you your stipends." They would come and receive those stipends in abundance. Then it would be said: "O people, come to me in the morning; I will provide you with clothing." Then robes would be brought and distributed among them. Al-Hasan says: Enmity had ended, stipends were flowing, relations among people were good, and good was abundant. There was no believer on the face of the earth who feared another believer; whoever met anyone among the living, that person was his brother, loved him and helped him; and as for trial, it was such that if a sword were drawn against him.

Al-Hasan states: One of the guards of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that a man from the Ansar came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "O my nephew! Go back; you are not my killer." The man said: "How did you come to know this?" Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "On the seventh day after your birth you were brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tahnik for you and supplicated for blessing for you." The narrator says: Then another man from the Ansar came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "O my nephew! Go back; you will not kill me." He asked: "How did you come to know this?" Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Because on the seventh day after your birth you were brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tahnik for you and supplicated for blessing for you." Then Muhammad bin Abi Bakr came in, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You will kill me." He said: "How do you know, you worthless one?" Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Because on the seventh day after your birth you were brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) might perform tahnik for you and supplicate for blessing for you, and you soiled the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with excrement." The narrator says: Then he climbed onto Sayyiduna Uthman's (may Allah be pleased with him) chest and seized Sayyiduna Uthman's (may Allah be pleased with him) beard in his fist. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are about to do this, but remember that it would have grieved your father." Then he plunged the small arrowhead that was in his hand into the throat of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).

He had Ammar flogged, he had Abu Dharr expelled, he reserved the pasture for himself, and you say that we martyred him while he was one who fasted and prayed voluntary prayers?" Masruq said to him: "By Allah! You did neither of two things: either you should have punished him in the same way that you were punished by him, or you should have been patient - and being patient is better for those who are patient." The narrator says: It was as though he had silenced him completely. The narrator says: Al-Sha'bi used to say: "No woman of Hamdan ever gave birth to a child like Masruq."

Imam Malik bin Anas states: When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, his body lay cast on the refuse heap of Banu so-and-so for three days. Then twelve men came there, among them my grandfather Malik bin Abi Amir; besides him there were Huwaytib bin Abdul Uzza, Hakim bin Hizam, Abdullah bin al-Zubayr and A'ishah bint Uthman. They had a lamp in a container with them. They lifted his body and carried it on a door, and his head was knocking against the door, 'taq, taq', until they brought him to al-Baqi'. They disagreed among themselves about his funeral prayer, and Hakim bin Hizam, or perhaps Huwaytib bin Abdul Uzza, led his funeral prayer; this doubt is from the narrator Abdul Rahman. Then they intended to bury him, and a man from Banu Mazin stood up and said: "If you bury him with the Muslims, I will tell the people about it tomorrow." So they carried his body and brought it to the place called Hushsh Kawkab. When they began lowering him into the grave, A'ishah, the daughter of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), began to cry out. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to her: "Be quiet! By Allah! If you do it again, I will strike you between your eyes." When they had buried Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and levelled the earth over him, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to her: "Now cry out as much as you see fit." Imam Malik states: Before this, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) once passed by the place of Hushsh Kawkab and said: "A righteous man will be buried here."

وَعَنْ سَهْمِ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ - وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ قَتْلَ عُثْمَانَ - قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَمْسَيْنَا قُلْتُ : لَئِنْ تَرَكْتُمْ صَاحِبَكُمْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ مَثَّلُوا بِهِ ، فَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَأَمْكَنَّا لَهُ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ ، ثُمَّ حَمَلْنَاهُ ، وَغَشِيَنَا سَوَادٌ مِنْ خَلْفِنَا فَهِبْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى كِدْنَا أَنْ نَتَفَرَّقَ عَنْهُ ، فَنَادَى مُنَادٍ : لَا رَوْعَ عَلَيْكُمْ ، اثْبُتُوا فَإِنَّا جِئْنَا نَشْهَدُهُ مَعَكُمْ .

Sahm bin Hubaysh, who was among those who witnessed the killing of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), states: When evening came, I said: "If you leave your man until morning, they will mutilate him." Then they took him towards Baqi' al-Gharqad; we were able to take him in the depth of the night. We lifted him, and a large dark mass of people came upon us from behind; we became afraid of them, so much so that we almost scattered and left Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). Then a caller called out: "Do not be alarmed; stand firm, for we have come to attend him along with you." Ibn Hubaysh used to say: "By Allah! They were the angels."

وَعَنْ فُلْفُلَةَ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ يَقُولُ : رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي الْمَنَامِ مُتَعَلِّقًا بِالْعَرْشِ ، وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ آخِذًا بِحَقْوَيِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَرَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ آخِذًا بِحَقْوَيْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَرَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ آخِذًا بِحَقْوَيْ عُمَرَ ، وَرَأَيْتُ الدَّمَ يَنْصَبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ . فَحَدَّثَ الْحَسَنَ بِهَذَا [ الْحَدِيثِ ] وَعِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ ، فَقَالُوا : وَمَا رَأَيْتَ عَلِيًّا ؟ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ : مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَرَاهُ آخِذًا بِحَقْوَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ عَلِيٍّ ، وَلَكِنَّهَا رُؤْيَا رَأَيْتُهَا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ : إِنَّكُمْ لَتُحَدِّثُونَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فِي رُؤْيَا رَآهَا ، وَقَدْ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي غَزَاةٍ ، فَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ جَهْدٌ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْكَآبَةَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْفَرَحَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لَا تَغِيبُ الشَّمْسُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِرِزْقٍ " . فَعَلِمَ عُثْمَانُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ سَيَصْدُقَانِ ، فَاشْتَرَى عُثْمَانُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ رَاحِلَةً بِمَا عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ ، فَوَجَّهَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْهَا بِتِسْعَةٍ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " مَا هَذَا ؟ " . قَالُوا : أَهْدَى إِلَيْكَ عُثْمَانُ قَالَ : فَعُرِفَ الْفَرَحُ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْكَآبَةُ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ ، فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رُئِيَ بَيَاضُ إِبِطَيْهِ ، يَدْعُو لِعُثْمَانَ دُعَاءً مَا سَمِعْتُهُ دَعَا لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلَهُ : " اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ عُثْمَانَ اللَّهُمَّ افْعَلْ لِعُثْمَانَ " .

Fulfulah al-Ju'fi states: I heard Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream, clinging to the Throne, and I saw Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) holding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by the waist; I saw Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) holding Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) by the waist; I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) holding Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) by the waist; and then I saw blood pouring down from the sky to the earth." When Imam al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him)
narrated this, some Shi'ah were present with him at that time. They said: "Did you not see Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)?" Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There is nothing I would have loved more than to see Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) holding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by the waist, but the dream is what I have described." Then Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You narrate from Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) a dream that he saw. We were taking part in a military expedition with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the people were struck by severe hardship, until I saw distress on the faces of the Muslims and joy on the faces of the hypocrites. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) observed this situation, he said: 'By Allah! Before the sun sets, Allah Almighty will grant you provision.' Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) knew that the Messenger of Allah speaks the truth, so Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) bought fourteen riding camels together with the food on them, and sent nine of them to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them, he said: 'Where has this come from?' The people told him: 'Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) has sent these to you as a gift.' The narrator says: Then signs of joy appeared on the faces of the Muslims and signs of distress appeared on the faces of the hypocrites. I looked towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and saw that he had raised both his hands so high that the whiteness of his armpits could be seen; he was supplicating for Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) in a way I had never heard him supplicate for anyone before: 'O Allah! Give to Uthman; O Allah! Do this for Uthman.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir in abridged form, and its chain is hasan (good).

وَعَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَيْضًا قَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، رَأَيْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ عَجَبًا فِي مَنَامِي ، رَأَيْتُ الرَّبَّ تَعَالَى فَوْقَ عَرْشِهِ ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى قَامَ عِنْدَ قَائِمَةٍ مِنْ قَوَائِمِ الْعَرْشِ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ فَكَانَ نُبْذَةً ، فَقَالَ : رَبِّ سَلْ عِبَادَكَ فِيمَا قَتَلُونِي ؟ قَالَ : فَانْثَقَبَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِيزَابَانِ مِنْ دَمٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ . قَالَ : فَقِيلَ لِعَلِيٍّ : أَلَا تَرَى مَا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ الْحَسَنُ ؟ قَالَ : يُحَدِّثُ بِمَا رَأَى .
It is reported from Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "O people, last night I saw something astonishing in a dream. I saw my Lord upon His Throne. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and stood beside one of the legs of the Throne. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came and placed his hand on the shoulder of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and placed his hand on the shoulder of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and he was a little to one side. He said: 'O my Lord! Ask Your servants why they killed me.'" Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "Then two spouts of blood began to flow from the sky to the earth." The narrator says: It was said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Have you not noticed what Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) is narrating?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "He has narrated what he saw."
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ : أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ قَالَ : لَا أُقَاتِلُ بَعْدَ رُؤْيَا رَأَيْتُهَا - فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ - إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : وَرَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَى عُمَرَ ، وَرَأَيْتُ دِمَاءً دُونَهُمْ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا هَذَا ؟ قِيلَ : دِمَاءُ عُثْمَانَ يَطْلُبُ اللَّهَ بِهِ .

In one narration the wording is: Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "After the dream I have seen, I will not fight." After this the narrator mentioned the narration as before, and further on it contains these words: "I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) with his hand placed on Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and after them I saw blood. I asked: 'What is this?' I was told: 'This is the blood of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), concerning which he is petitioning Allah Almighty (to take account).'" Abu Ya'la recorded all of these narrations with two chains; one of the two chains contains narrators whom I do not know, and the other chain contains a narrator, Sufyan bin Waki', who is da'if (weak).
وَعَنْ مُسْلِمٍ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ - مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ - : أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ أَعْتَقَ عِشْرِينَ عَبْدًا مَمْلُوكًا ، وَدَعَا بِسَرَاوِيلَ فَشَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَلْبَسْهَا فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ ، وَقَالَ : إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْبَارِحَةَ فِي الْمَنَامِ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ [ وَإِنَّهُمْ ]قَالُوا لِيَ : اصْبِرْ ، فَإِنَّكَ تُفْطِرُ عِنْدَنَا الْقَابِلَةَ . ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمُصْحَفٍ فَنَشَرَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقُتِلَ ، وَهُوَ بَيْنُ يَدَيْهِ .

Muslim Abu Sa'id, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), states: Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) freed twenty slaves. Then he called for trousers and tied them firmly on, although he had never worn trousers, neither in the time of Ignorance nor in the time of Islam. Then he said: "Last night I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream; in the dream I saw Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and they said to me: 'Be patient; today you will break your fast with us.'" Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) called for a copy of the Qur'an and had it placed before him, and when he was martyred, that copy of the Qur'an was in front of him.
Abdullah, and Abu Ya'la in al-Kabir, recorded it, and the narrators of both are thiqat (trustworthy). Various routes of this narration have already passed in the book on trials.

Qatadah states: Sayyiduna al-Zubayr led the funeral prayer of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and buried him; Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) had made his bequest to him.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except that the narrator Qatadah did not witness this event.

Zahdam al-Jarmi states: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) addressed us in a sermon and said: "Had the people not demanded retribution for the blood of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), stones would have been rained down upon them from the sky."

Abdullah bin Sa'id narrates the following statement from his father: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). On his right was Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) and on his left was Muhammad bin Abi Bakr. Meanwhile a man named Ghurab bin so-and-so al-Suda'i came and said: "O Commander of the Believers! What do you say about Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)?" The two men spoke before Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Are you asking about a man who disbelieved in Allah after having believed, and became a hypocrite?" The man said to the two of them: "I did not ask you two, nor did I come to you two." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the man: "I do not say what these two are saying." The two of them said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Then why did we kill him?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "He became your ruler, and in the last days of his rule he did not do some things well; you protested against it, and you did so in the wrong way. By Allah! I hope that Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and I will be as Allah Almighty has said: 'And We shall remove whatever rancour is in their breasts; brothers, on couches facing one another.'"

وَعَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ طَلْقَ بْنَ خُشَافٍ يَقُولُ : وَفَدْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لِنَنْظُرَ فِيمَا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَرَرْنَا بِبَعْضِ آلِ عَلِيٍّ ، وَبَعْضِ آلِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، وَبَعْضِ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهَا ، فَرَدَّتِ السَّلَامَ وَقَالَتْ : مَنِ الرَّجُلُ ؟ قُلْتُ : مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَتْ : وَمِنْ أَيِّ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ ؟ قُلْتُ : مِنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ، فَقَالَتْ : وَمِنْ أَيِّ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : مِنْ بَنِي قَيْسِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ : مِنْ آلِ فُلَانٍ ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فِيمَا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَتْ : قُتِلَ وَاللَّهِ مَظْلُومًا ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَهُ ، أَقَادَ اللَّهُ مِنِ ابْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بِهِ ، وَسَاقَ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَعْيَنَ بْنِ تَيْمٍ هَوَانًا فِي بَيْتِهِ ، وَأَرَاقَ اللَّهُ دِمَاءَ بَنِي بُدَيْلٍ عَلَى ضَلَالِهِ ، وَسَاقَ اللَّهُ إِلَى الْأَشْتَرِ سَهْمًا مِنْ سِهَامِهِ .

Abu al-Aswad states: I heard Talq bin Khushaf say: "We went to Madinah as a delegation to look into why Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred. When we arrived there, we passed by someone from the family of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), someone from the family of Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), and one of the Mothers of the Believers; but I went to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). I greeted her and she returned the greeting. She asked: 'Who are you?' I said: 'I am a man from the people of Basrah.' She asked: 'From which of the people of Basrah?' I replied: 'From the tribe of Bakr bin Wa'il.' She asked: 'From which of the tribe of Bakr bin Wa'il?' I said: 'From Banu Qays bin Tha'labah.' She said: 'From the family of so-and-so?' I said to her: 'O Mother of the Believers! Why was Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), the Commander of the Believers, martyred?' She said: 'By Allah! He was killed wrongfully, and may Allah Almighty curse whoever killed him. May Allah Almighty exact retribution for him from the son of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), may Allah Almighty bring humiliation upon A'yan bin Taym in his own house, may Allah Almighty shed the blood of Banu Budayl on account of their misguidance, and may Allah Almighty send one of His arrows towards al-Ashtar.' (The narrator says:) By Allah! Every single one of those people was struck by the consequence of Sayyidah Aishah's (may Allah be pleased with her) supplication against them."

Alqamah bin Waqqas states: We gathered in the house of Makhramah - this was after the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) - intending to give the pledge of allegiance. Sayyiduna Abu Jahm bin Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We will give the pledge on the condition that nothing becomes an obstacle to retribution (qisas)." Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "As far as the blood of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) is concerned, that will not happen." Sayyiduna Abu Jahm (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, O son of Sumayyah! By Allah! You were given a few lashes and you are to be given retribution for them, while retribution is not to be taken for the blood of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)?" The narrator says: So that day we went back without giving the pledge.

Umayr Rudi states: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed the people in a sermon and said: "O people, if no one were to enter Hell except the one who martyred Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), I would not enter Hell (that is, I am not among those who martyred him); and if no one were to enter Paradise except the one who martyred Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), I would not enter it (that is, I am not among the killers of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him))." The narrator states: When he came down from the pulpit, it was said to him: "You have said something because of which your companions may leave you." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed them in a sermon and said: "O people! Beware! Allah Almighty caused Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) to be martyred, and I am with him." Muhammad bin Sirin states: This is a particular Qurashi way of speaking which has two aspects. Al-Tabarani says: It is as though Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) meant that Allah Almighty caused Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) to be killed, and I too have been killed along with him.

With the same chain it is reported: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed the people in a sermon, and the people interrupted his sermon. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I became weak on the day Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) set out a parable for them: There are three bulls and a lion, and they gather in one place; one bull is black, one is red and one is white. Whenever the lion intends to attack any one of them, all three gather together against the lion and keep it from coming near them. Then the lion says to the black and the red bull: "In this territory of ours, this white bull is bringing disgrace upon us; give me the chance and I will eat it, for my colour and yours are alike, and the colour of you two is like mine." Then the lion attacks it and kills it. Some time after killing it, he says to the black bull: "This red bull is bringing disgrace and shame upon us in this territory of ours; give me the chance to eat it, for my colour is like your colour and your colour is like my colour." Then he attacks the second bull and kills it too. Then he says to the black bull: "Now I will eat you." The black bull says: "Give me the chance to call out something loudly three times." Then the bull says: "Beware! I was eaten on the very day the white bull was eaten! Beware! I was eaten on the very day the white bull was eaten! Beware! I was eaten on the very day the white bull was eaten!" (Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) "Beware! I became weak on the day Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred."
