The Caliphate of ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān
فَصْلٌ ( مُدَّةُ حِصَارِهِ ؓ ) كَانَتْ مُدَّةُ حَصْرِ عُثْمَانَ، ؓ، فِي دَارِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْمَشْهُورِ. وَقِيلَ: كَانَتْ بِضْعًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. وَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ: كَانَتْ ثِنْتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً. اليوم الذي قتل فيه عثمان ؓ ثُمَّ كَانَ قَتْلُهُ، ؓ، فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ بِلَا خِلَافٍ. قَالَ سَيْفُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ مَشَايِخِهِ: فِي آخِرِ سَاعَةٍ مِنْهَا. وَنَصَّ عَلَيْهِ مُصْعَبٌ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ وَآخَرُونَ. وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: ضَحْوَةً. وَهَذَا أَشْبَهُ. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ لِثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً خَلَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ عَلَى الْمَشْهُورِ. وَقِيلَ: فِي أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ. وَعَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ فَزَعَمَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ فِي أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ - وَعَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ فِي أَوْسَطِ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ - وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: قُتِلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمْعَةِ لِثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً خَلَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ. وَقِيلَ: قُتِلَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ. حَكَاهُ ابْنُ عَسَاكِرَ. وَيُسْتَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِقَوْلِ الشَّاعِرِ: ضَحَّوْا بَأَشْمَطَ عُنْوَانُ السُّجُودِ بِهِ يُقَطِّعُ اللَّيْلَ تَسْبِيحًا وَقُرْآنَا قُلْتُ: وَالْأَوَّلُ هُوَ الْأَشْهَرُ. وَهُوَ أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً خَلَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ، عَلَى الصَّحِيحِ الْمَشْهُورِ. وَقِيلَ: سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَثَلَاثِينَ. قَالَهُ مُصْعَبٌ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ وَطَائِفَةٌ. وَهُوَ غَرِيبٌ. فَكَانَتْ خِلَافَتُهُ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً إِلَّا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا ; لِأَنَّهُ بُويِعَ لَهُ فِي مُسْتَهَلِّ الْمُحَرَّمِ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ. عمر عثمان ؓ فَأَمَّا عُمُرُهُ، ؓ، فَإِنَّهُ جَاوَزَ الثَّمَانِينَ عَلَى الْمَشْهُورِ. فَقِيلَ: إِحْدَى وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. وَقَالَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ: تُوُفِّيَ عَنْ ثِنْتَيْنِ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. وَقَالَ صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ: وَأَشْهُرٍ. وَقِيلَ: أَرْبَعٌ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. وعَنْ قَتَادَةَ: تُوُفِّيَ عُثْمَانُ عَنْ ثَمَانٍ وَثَمَانِينَ أَوْ تِسْعِينَ سَنَةً. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ عَنْهُ: تُوُفِّيَ عَنْ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. وَعَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْكَلْبِيِّ: تُوُفِّيَ عَنْ خَمْسٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً. وَهَذَا غَرِيبٌ جِدًّا. وَأَغْرَبُ مِنْهُ مَا رَوَاهُ سَيْفُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ مَشَايِخِهِ ; وَهُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ وَطَلْحَةُ وَأَبُو عُثْمَانَ وَأَبُو حَارِثَةَ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ، ؓ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَسِتِّينَ سَنَةً. موضع قبر عثمان ؓ وَأَمَّا مَوْضِعُ قَبْرِهِ فَلَا خِلَافَ أَنَّهُ دُفِنَ بِحَشِّ كَوْكَبٍ - شَرْقِيَّ الْبَقِيعِ - وَقَدْ بُنِيَ عَلَيْهِ زَمَانَ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ قُبَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَهِيَ بَاقِيَةٌ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ. قَالَ الْإِمَامُ مَالِكٌ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ، ؓ، كَانَ يَمُرُّ بِمَكَانِ قَبْرِهِ مِنْ حَشِّ كَوْكَبٍ فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ سَيُدْفَنُ هَاهُنَا رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ . تغسيل وتكفين ودفن عثمان ؓ والصلاة عليه وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ ابْنُ جَرِيرٍ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ، ؓ، بَقِيَ بَعْدَ أَنْ قُتِلَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَا يُدْفَنُ. قُلْتُ: وَكَأَنَّهُ اشْتَغَلَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بِمُبَايَعَةِ عَلِيٍّ، ؓ حَتَّى تَمَّتْ. وَقِيلَ: إِنَّهُ مَكَثَ لَيْلَتَيْنِ. وَقِيلَ: بَلْ دُفِنَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ. ثُمَّ كَانَ دَفْنُهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعَشَاءِ خِيفَةً مِنَ الْخَوَارِجِ. وَقِيلَ: بَلِ اسْتُؤْذِنَ فِي ذَلِكَ بَعْضُ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ. فَخَرَجُوا بِهِ فِي نَفَرٍ قَلِيلٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ ; مِنْهُمْ حَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ، وَحُوَيْطِبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى، وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ، وَنِيَارُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ، وَجَبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، وَكَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، وَطَلْحَةُ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَجَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَنِسَائِهِ ; مِنْهُنَّ امْرَأَتَاهُ نَائِلَةُ وَأُمُّ الْبَنِينَ بِنْتُ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ حِصْنٍ، وَصِبْيَانٌ. وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: صَلَّى الزُّبَيْرُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ وَدَفَنَهُ وَكَانَ أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ. وَرَوَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مِنْ طَرِيقِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ فَرُّوخَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ دُفِنَ فِي ثِيَابِهِ بِدِمَائِهِ وَلَمْ يُغَسَّلْ. وَحَمَلَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ خَدَمِهِ بَعْدَ مَا غَسَّلُوهُ وَكَفَّنُوهُ. وَزَعَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُغَسَّلْ وَلَمْ يُكَفَّنْ. وَالصَّحِيحُ الْأَوَّلُ. وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ جُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ. وَقِيلَ: الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ. وَقِيلَ: حَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ. وَقِيلَ: مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ. وَقِيلَ: الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ. وَقَدْ عَارَضَهُ بَعْضُ الْخَوَارِجِ وَأَرَادُوا رَجْمَهُ وَإِلْقَاءَهُ عَنْ سَرِيرِهِ، وَعَزَمُوا عَلَى أَنْ يُدْفَنَ بِمَقْبَرَةِ الْيَهُودِ بِدَيْرِ سَلْعٍ، حَتَّى بَلَغَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَنْ نَهَاهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَحَمَلَ جِنَازَتَهُ حَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ، وَأَبُو جَهْمِ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ، وَنِيَارُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، وَجُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ. وَذَكَرَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وُضِعَ لِيُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ - عِنْدَ مُصَلَّى الْجَنَائِزِ - أَرَادَ بَعْضُ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنْ يَمْنَعَهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْمِ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ: ادْفِنُوهُ فَقَدْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَمَلَائِكَتُهُ. ثُمَّ قَالُوا: لَا يُدْفَنُ فِي الْبَقِيعِ، وَلَكِنِ ادْفِنُوهُ وَرَاءَ الْحَائِطِ. فَدَفَنُوهُ شَرْقِيَّ الْبَقِيعِ تَحْتَ نَخَلَاتٍ هُنَاكَ. وَذَكَرَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ أَنَّ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ ضَابِئٍ نَزَا عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ وَهُوَ مَوْضُوعٌ لِلصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ، فَكَسَرَ ضِلْعًا مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ، وَقَالَ: أَحَبَسْتَ ضَابِئًا حَتَّى مَاتَ فِي السِّجْنِ ؟ وَقَدْ قَتَلَ الْحَجَّاجُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ ضَابِئٍ هَذَا. وَقَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي " التَّارِيخِ ": بسنده عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي. وَمَا أَظُنُّ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي. فَقُلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ أَحَدًا يَقُولُ مَا تَقُولُ. قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَعْطَيْتُ اللَّهَ عَهْدًا إِنْ قَدَرْتُ أَنْ أَلْطِمَ وَجْهَ عُثْمَانَ إِلَّا لَطْمَتُهُ، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ وُضِعَ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَالنَّاسُ يَجِيئُونَ فَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَدَخَلْتُ كَأَنِّي أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتُ خَلْوَةً فَرَفَعْتُ الثَّوْبَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَلَطَمْتُهُ، وَسَجَّيْتُهُ، وَقَدْ يَبِسَتْ يَمِينِي. قَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ: فَرَأَيْتُهَا يَابِسَةً كَأَنَّهَا عُودٌ. دفن عَبْدَي عثمان ؓ ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا بِعَبْدَيْ عُثْمَانَ اللَّذَيْنِ قُتِلَا فِي الدَّارِ ; وَهُمَا صُبَيْحٌ وَنُجَيْحٌ، ؓ، فَدُفِنَا إِلَى جَانِبِهِ بِحَشِّ كَوْكَبٍ. وَقِيلَ: إِنَّ الْخَوَارِجَ لَمْ يُمَكِّنُوا مِنْ دَفْنِهِمَا، بَلْ جَرُّوهُمَا بِأَرْجُلِهِمَا حَتَّى أَلْقَوْهُمَا بِالْبَلَاطِ فَأَكَلَتْهُمَا الْكِلَابُ. اعتناء معاوية بقبر عثمان ؓ وَقَدِ اعْتَنَى مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي أَيَّامِ إِمَارَتِهِ بِقَبْرِ عُثْمَانَ، وَرَفَعَ الْجِدَارَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَقِيعِ، وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَدْفِنُوا مَوْتَاهُمْ حَوْلَهُ حَتَّى اتَّصَلَتْ بِمَقَابِرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ. انتهاب دار عثمان ودار غيره ودار أبي هريرة ؓ وَلَمَّا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ انْتُهِبَتْ دَارُهُ وَدَارُ غَيْرِهِ، وانْتُهِبَتْ دَارُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أُصِبْتُ بِثَلَاثٍ بِمَوْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكُنْتُ صُوَيْحِبَهُ وَذَا يَدٍ مِنْهُ، وَبِقَتْلِ عُثْمَانَ وَالْمِزْوَدِ. قَالُوا: وَمَا الْمِزْوَدُ؟ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ مَخْمَصَةٌ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: "يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، هَلْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، شَيْءٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فِي مِزْوَدٍ، قَالَ: "فَآتِنِي بِهِ"، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهِ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ وَأَخْرَجَ قَبْضَةً، فَبَسَطَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ادْعُ لِي عَشَرَةً، فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ عَشَرَةً فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَأَخْرَجَ قَبْضَةً فَبَسَطَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ادْعُ لِي عَشَرَةً، فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ عَشَرَةً، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، فَمَا زَالَ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَطْعَمَ الْجَيْشَ كُلَّهُ وَشَبِعُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: "خُذْ مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَأَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ وَاقْبِضْ وَلَا تَكُبَّهُ" قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَقَبَضْتُ عَلَى أَكْثَرِ مِمَّا جِئْتُ بِهِ. قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَمَّا أَكَلْتُ، أَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحَيَاةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأَطْعَمْتُ، وَحَيَاةَ عُمَرَ وَأَطْعَمْتُ، وَحَيَاةَ عُثْمَانَ وَأَطْعَمْتُ، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ انْتُهِبَتْ بَيْتِي وَذَهَبَ الْمِزْوَدُ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: لَقَدْ جَهَّزْتُ مِنْهُ خَمْسِينَ وَسْقًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ.
Translation
✧ Section (The Duration of His Siege, ؓ The duration of the siege of ʿUthmān, ؓ, in his house was forty days, according to the well-known opinion. It is said: it was forty-odd days. Al-Shaʿbī said: it was twenty-two nights. The day on which ʿUthmān, ؓ, was killed Then his killing, ؓ, took place on a Friday, without disagreement. Sayf b. ʿUmar reported from his shaykhs: in the last hour of it. Muṣʿab al-Zubayrī and others explicitly stated this. Others said: in the forenoon. And this is more likely. That was on the eighteenth night of Dhū al-Ḥijjah, according to the well-known opinion. It is said: during the days of al-tashrīq. From al-Zuhrī, he said: ʿUthmān was killed, and some people claimed that he was killed during the days of al-tashrīq — and from Abū ʿUthmān, he said: ʿUthmān was killed in the middle of the days of al-tashrīq — and some of them said: he was killed on Friday, on the eighteenth night of Dhū al-Ḥijjah. It is said: he was killed on the Day of Sacrifice. Ibn ʿAsākir related this. This is supported by the poet's saying: They sacrificed a gray-haired man, upon whom the mark of prostration was, Who cut through the night with glorification and Qurʾān. I say: and the first is the most widely known. It is that he was killed on Friday, on the eighteenth night of Dhū al-Ḥijjah, in the year thirty-five, according to the sound and well-known opinion. It is said: in the year thirty-six. Muṣʿab al-Zubayrī and a group said this. And it is rare. Thus his caliphate was twelve years less twelve days; because he was given the oath of allegiance at the beginning of Muḥarram in the year twenty-four. The age of ʿUthmān, ؓ As for his age, ؓ, he exceeded eighty, according to the well-known opinion. It is said: eighty-one years. Al-Wāqidī and more than one said: he died at eighty-two years. Ṣāliḥ b. Kaysān said: and months. It is said: eighty-four years. From Qatādah: ʿUthmān died at eighty-eight or ninety years. In another report from him: he died at eighty-six years. From Hishām b. al-Kalbī: he died at seventy-five years. And this is very rare. And rarer than it is what Sayf b. ʿUmar reported from his shaykhs; they are Muḥammad, Ṭalḥah, Abū ʿUthmān, and Abū Ḥārithah, that they said: ʿUthmān, ؓ, was killed at sixty-three years. The location of ʿUthmān's grave, ؓ As for the location of his grave, there is no disagreement that he was buried in Ḥashsh Kawkab — east of al-Baqīʿ — and a great dome was built over it in the time of the Umayyads, and it remains to this day. Imam Mālik said: It reached me that ʿUthmān, ؓ, used to pass by the place of his grave in Ḥashsh Kawkab and say: A righteous man will be buried here. . The washing, shrouding, burial, and prayer over ʿUthmān, ؓ Ibn Jarīr mentioned that ʿUthmān, ؓ, remained for three days after he was killed without being buried. I say: and it is as though the people were occupied with pledging allegiance to ʿAlī, ؓ, until it was completed. It is said: he remained two nights. It is said: rather, he was buried that same night. Then his burial took place between sunset and nightfall, out of fear of the Kharijites. It is said: rather, permission was sought from some of their leaders for that. So they carried him out with a small group of the Companions; among them were Ḥakīm b. Ḥizām, Ḥuwayṭib b. ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā, Abū al-Jahm b. Ḥudhayfah, Niyār b. Mukram al-Aslamī, Jubayr b. Muṭʿim, Zayd b. Thābit, Kaʿb b. Mālik, Ṭalḥah, al-Zubayr, ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, and a group of his companions and his women; among them his two wives, Nāʾilah and Umm al-Banīn bt. ʿUyaynah b. Ḥiṣn, and children. From Qatādah, he said: al-Zubayr prayed over ʿUthmān and buried him, and he had been made his executor. ʿAbd Allāh reported through the chain of Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Farrūkh, from his father: I witnessed ʿUthmān being buried in his clothes with his blood, and he was not washed. A group of his servants carried him after they had washed him and shrouded him. Some of them claimed that he was not washed or shrouded. The correct one is the first. Jubayr b. Muṭʿim prayed over him. It is said: al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām. It is said: Ḥakīm b. Ḥizām. It is said: Marwān b. al-Ḥakam. It is said: al-Miswar b. Makhramah. Some of the Kharijites opposed him and wanted to stone him and throw him from his bier, and they resolved to bury him in the Jewish cemetery at Dayr Salʿ, until it reached ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, so he sent people to forbid them from that. Ḥakīm b. Ḥizām, Abū Jahm b. Ḥudhayfah, Niyār b. Mukram, and Jubayr b. Muṭʿim carried his bier. Al-Wāqidī mentioned that when he was placed to be prayed over — at the funeral prayer place — some of the Ansar wanted to prevent them from that, so Abū Jahm b. Ḥudhayfah said: Bury him, for God and His angels have prayed over him. Then they said: He will not be buried in al-Baqīʿ, but bury him behind the wall. So they buried him east of al-Baqīʿ, under some palm trees there. Al-Wāqidī mentioned that ʿUmayr b. Ḍābiʾ jumped on his bier while it was placed for the prayer over him, and broke one of his ribs, and said: Did you imprison Ḍābiʾ until he died in prison? Later on, al-Ḥajjāj killed this ʿUmayr b. Ḍābiʾ. Al-Bukhārī said in "al-Tārīkh": with his chain from Muḥammad b. Sīrīn, who said: I was circumambulating the Kaʿbah when a man was saying: O God, forgive me, but I do not think You will forgive me. I said: O servant of God, I have not heard anyone say what you say. He said: I had made a covenant with God that if I could slap the face of ʿUthmān, I would do so. When he was killed and placed on his bier in the house, and people were coming to pray over him, I entered as if to pray over him, and found a moment alone, so I lifted the cloth from his face and slapped him, and covered him, and my right hand became withered. Ibn Sīrīn said: I saw it withered as though it were a stick. The burial of the two servants of ʿUthmān, ؓ Then they brought out the two servants of ʿUthmān who were killed in the house; they were Ṣubayḥ and Nujayḥ, ؓ, and they were buried beside him in Ḥashsh Kawkab. It is said: the Kharijites did not allow their burial, but dragged them by their feet and threw them at al-Balāṭ, and the dogs ate them. Muʿāwiyah's care for the grave of ʿUthmān, ؓ Muʿāwiyah took care of the grave of ʿUthmān during the days of his rule, and raised the wall between it and al-Baqīʿ, and commanded the people to bury their dead around it until it became connected to the Muslim cemeteries. The plundering of the house of ʿUthmān, the house of others, and the house of Abū Hurayrah, ؓ When ʿUthmān, ؓ, was killed, his house and the house of others were plundered, and the house of Abū Hurayrah was plundered. From Abū Hurayrah, he said: I was afflicted with three things with the death of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, when I was his companion and a source of support from him; and with the killing of ʿUthmān; and with the provision bag. They said: And what is the provision bag? He said: We were with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and the people were struck by hunger. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "O Abū Hurayrah, is there anything?" I said: Yes, some dates in a provision bag. He said: "Bring it to me." So I brought it to him, and he put his hand in and took out a handful, and spread it out, then said: "Call ten for me." So I called ten for him, and they ate until they were full. Then he put his hand in and took out a handful and spread it out, then said: "Call ten for me." So I called ten for him, and they ate until they were full. He continued doing that until he fed the entire army and they were full. Then he said to me: "Take what you came with, put your hand in, and grasp, and do not pour it out." Abū Hurayrah said: So I grasped more than what I had come with. Abū Hurayrah said: Shall I not tell you about what I ate? I ate from it during the life of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and the life of Abū Bakr, and I fed others; and during the life of ʿUmar, and I fed others; and during the life of ʿUthmān, and I fed others. When ʿUthmān was killed, my house was plundered and the provision bag went. In another report: I sent out from it fifty loads in the way of God.
