حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُغِيرَةَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ يَذْكُرُ عَنْ مَطَرٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ
أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ فَقَالَ: [عَلَى مَا] تَقْتُلُونِي، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: رَجُلٌ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ الرَّجْمُ، أَوْ قَتَلَ عَمْدًا، فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَوَدُ، أَوِ ارْتَدَّ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَتْلُ. فَوَاللهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ، وَلَا قَتَلْتُ أَحَدًا فَأُقِيدُ نَفْسِي مِنْهُ، وَلَا ارْتَدَدْتُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ، إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

✧ Uthman looked over his companions while he was besieged and said: For what reason do you kill me? For I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The blood of a Muslim man is not lawful except for one of three: a man who commits adultery after being married, upon him is stoning; or one who kills deliberately, upon him is retaliation; or one who apostatizes after his Islam, upon him is execution. By Allah, I did not commit adultery in the Jahiliyyah or in Islam, nor did I kill anyone so that I should give my own life in retaliation for him, nor did I apostatize since I embraced Islam. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.
