" عن أبى هريرة قال: دخلت على عثمان يوم الدار فقلت: يا أمير المؤمنين: طابٌ أم ضَرْبٌ؟ فقال يا أبا هريرة: أَيَسُرُّكَ أن تقتلَ الناس وإياى؟ (جميعا وإياك) قلت: لا، قال: فوالله إِنَّكَ إِنْ قَتلتَ رجلًا واحدا فكأنما قتل الناس جميعا، فرجعتُ ولم أُقَاتِلْ ".

"From Abū Hurayrah, who said: I entered upon ʿUthmān on the day of the house (siege) and said: O Commander of the Faithful, is it a good state of affairs or fighting? He said: O Abū Hurayrah, would it please you to kill the people and me (along with them)? (in another wording: all of them and you) I said: No. He said: By Allah, if you kill one man, it is as if you had killed all the people. So I returned and did not fight."
