إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا

أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلٍ ،
وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ , قَالَا : كُنَّا مَعَ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ ، وَكُنَّا إِذَا دَخَلْنَا مَدْخَلًا نَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ مَنْ بِالْبَلَاطِ ، فَدَخَلَ
عُثْمَانُ يَوْمًا ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ , فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُمْ لَيَتَوَاعَدُونِّي بِالْقَتْلِ . قُلْنَا : يَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ . قَالَ : فَلِمَ يَقْتُلُونِّي ؟ , سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ : رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ ، أَوْ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ ، أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ " ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ ، وَلَا تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنَّ لِي بِدِينِي بَدَلًا مُنْذُ هَدَانِيَ اللَّهُ ، وَلَا قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا فَلِمَ يَقْتُلُونَنِي .
´Abu Umamah bin Sahl and 'Abdullah bin 'Amir bin Rabi'ah said:` "We were with 'Uthman when he was under siege and we could hear what was said from Al-Balat. 'Uthman came in one day, then he came out, and said: 'They are threatening to kill me.' We said: 'Allah will suffice you against them.' He said: 'Why would they kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim except in one of three cases: A man who reverts to Kufr after becoming Muslim, or commits adultery after being married, or one who kills a soul unlawfully. By Allah, I did not commit adultery during Jahiliyyah or in Islam, I never wished to follow any other religion since Allah guided me, and I have never killed anyone, so why do they want to kill me?'"
