Muslims to cause them to fight
among themselves.
Some foolish Muslim believed these
rumors and began to trouble the
Khalif too.
‘Uthman [r] was very patient and
forgiving and did not punish them
because he realised that this was a
plot to cause Muslims to fight
amongst themselves.
He loved all Muslims dearly, even
the foolish among them.
This made the Jews and the hyp-
ocrites more bold and so they tried
to harm him.
One day the most evil of them man-
aged to get into the Khalif’s house
and killed him while he was reciting
the Qur’an.
He was eighty-two years old when
he died.
Such was Sayyiduna ‘Uthman’s [r]
love for Muslims that he would
rather sacrifice his own life but not
retaliate against even the most fool-
ish of Muslims.
