Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40452 — Reports on Uthman (may Allah be)
٤٠٤٥٢ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن عبد الملك بن أبي سليمان قال: سمعت أبا ليلى الكندي يقول: رأيت عثمان اطلع على الناس وهو محصور فقال: أيها الناس! لا تقتلوني واستعتبوني، فواللَّه لئن قتلتموني لا تقاتلون جميعا أبدا، ولا تجاهدون عدوا أبدًا، (و) (١) لتختلفن حتى تصيروا هكذا -وشبك بين أصابعه-: ﴿وَيَاقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِي أَنْ يُصِيبَكُمْ مِثْلُ مَا أَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَالِحٍ وَمَا قَوْمُ ⦗٤٠٨⦘ لُوطٍ مِنْكُمْ بِبَعِيدٍ﴾ [هود: ٨٩]، قال: وأرسل إلى عبد اللَّه بن سلام فسأله (فقال) (٢): الكف الكف، فإنه أبلغ لك في الحجة فدخلوا عليه فقتلوه (٣).
It is narrated from Abu Layla al-Kindi that he said: I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) looking out at the people during the siege, and he said: O people! Do not kill me, and ask me to make amends. By Allah, if you kill me, you will never be able to fight together, and you will never be able to wage jihad against an enemy, and discord will break out among you until you become like this. And he interlaced his fingers and recited the verse, meaning: And O my people, let not your dispute with me bring you to the end where there befalls you the like of what befell the people of Nuh, or the people of Hud, or the people of Salih; and the people of Lut are not far from you [Hud: 89]. The narrator said: Sayyiduna Uthman sent a message to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him. He said: Hold back, hold back; this will make your argument all the more conclusive. So those people came upon Sayyiduna Uthman and martyred him.
