Rabi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says: When the (troublemaking) people set out towards Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), I went to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Mada’in. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Whoever separates himself from the congregation and humiliates the leadership will meet Allah in such a state that he will have no status there.”
