It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) (during the siege of his house): "Indeed, there is with you in the house a group ready to support and defend you, and Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, grants help and victory through far fewer than them; so grant me permission so that I may fight (these rebels)." At this Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I adjure by Allah any man who sheds his own blood for my sake," or (the narrator is in doubt whether) he said these words: "who sheds any blood for my sake (meaning: I do not want bloodshed on my account)."
[Takhrij: The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic); Imam Ahmad recorded it in his 'Musnad' (no. 532) and Ibn Abi Shaybah in 'al-Musannaf' (no. 32103).]
