وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ قَالَ:
إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ ثُمَامَةُ، كَانَ عَلَى صَنْعَاءَ، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ خَطَبَ، فَبَكَى بُكَاءً شَدِيدًا، فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ: الْيَوْمَ انْتُزِعَتْ خِلَافَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، وَصَارَتْ مُلْكًا وَجَبْرِيَّةً، مَنْ غَلَبَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ أَكَلَهُ

✧ A man from Quraysh called Thumāmah was over Ṣanʿāʾ. When ʿUthmān ؓ was killed, he delivered a sermon and wept intensely. When he recovered, he said: 'Today the caliphate of prophethood has been wrested from the community of Muḥammad ﷺ and has become kingship and compulsion. Whoever seizes something consumes it.'
