The Messenger's departure
[ إشَاعَةُ مَقْتَلِ عُثْمَانَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَخَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ إلَى مَكَّةَ، فَلَقِيَهُ أَبَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ حِينَ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ، أَوْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا، فَحَمَلَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَجَارَهُ حَتَّى بَلَّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَانْطَلَقَ عُثْمَانُ حَتَّى أَتَى أَبَا سُفْيَانَ وَعُظَمَاءَ قُرَيْشٍ، فَبَلَّغَهُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَرْسَلَهُ بِهِ؛ فَقَالُوا لِعُثْمَانِ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ رِسَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَيْهِمْ: إنْ شِئْتُ أَنْ تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَطُفْ؛ فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ لِأَفْعَلَ حَتَّى يَطُوفَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ. وَاحْتَبَسَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ عِنْدَهَا، فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ قَدْ قُتِلَ
Translation
✧ [The spreading of the report of the killing of ʿUthmān] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿUthmān went forth to Makkah, and Abān b. Saʿīd b. al-ʿĀṣ met him when he entered Makkah, or before he entered it, and carried him in front of him, then granted him protection until he conveyed the message of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ʿUthmān then proceeded until he came to Abū Sufyān and the notables of Quraysh, and conveyed to them what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had sent him with. When he had finished the message of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to them, they said to ʿUthmān, “If you wish to circumambulate the House, then circumambulate.” He said, “I would not do so until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ circumambulates it.” Quraysh detained him with them, and it reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims that ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān had been killed.
