Thread: The sermon which Abdullah Bin Salam delivered in front of those who slew Sayyidina Ut

Baghawi recorded on his own authority the sermon which sayyidina Abdullah bin salam delivered during the
riots prior to Sayyidina Uthmans martyrdom. The words of this sermon are as follows:

" Allah's angels have surrounded your city in order to protect it. They do so ever since Allah's messenger
came to Al-Medina, up to this day. By Allah, if you kill Uthman, then these angels shall leave and they will never
return. By Allah, whichever of you kills Uthman shall be bought before Allah without hands. Understand it well; Allah's sword was in its sheath until now. By Allah, if it is unsheathed, it shall never return to its sheath again, for if a prophet
is killed, seventy thousand men shall be killed in turn, and if any righteous Khalifa is killed, then thirty five thousand men shall be killed in turn. "
(Mazhari)

The aftermath of Sayyidina Uthmans mur der are felt up to this day. Just as the mur derers of Sayyidina Uthman
showed their ingratitude and opposition to Allah's favour and the firm establishment of the true religion of Allah, like wise groups like the Khawarij who opposed the rightly guided caliphs, came into being, and in this connection the tragedy of Sayyidina Hussain Bin Ali's martyrdom took place.
