Taken (from minute 01:08:09) from a lecture that Sheikh ʿAzīz Farḥān gave in Masjid Sālim bin Bakhīt, Dubai, entitled “Sīrah of ʿUthmān” available in Arabic: https://youtu.be/YF0p50zCQOE?si=fwUObmFS_OWSNwhm&t=4089 Translation text: وبعد ذلك حينما رأى عثمان رضي الله عنه أن المسألة تطورت وأن الأمر تفاقم، نام تلك الليلة فرأى رؤيا عجيبة، And after that, when ʿUthmān, may Allah be pleased with him, saw that the matter had developed and the situation had worsened, he slept that night and saw an amazing dream رأى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم وأبا بكرٍ وعمر، فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنت صائم اليوم؟ قال نعم، قال ستفطر معنا، فعلم عثمان رضي الله عنه أنه ميتٌ في هذا اليوم، علم بأنه سيقتل في هذا اليوم رضي الله عنه وأرضاه He saw the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and ʿUmar. the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Are you fasting today?" He said, "Yes." He said, "You will break your fast with us." So ʿUthmān, may Allah be pleased with him, knew that he would die on this day. He knew that he would be killed on this day, may Allah be pleased with him and grant him satisfaction ولذلك أخذ المصحف واحتضنه وأخذ يقرأ رضي الله عنه وأرضاه. ثم دخل عليه رجل أسود سما نفسه بالموت الأسود فقام فخنقه، خنق عثمان رضي الله عنه، ثم ضربه بالسيف وهو يتلو القرآن وطار شيء من دمه على المصحف رضي الله عنه وأرضاه، Therefore, he took the Muṣḥaf and embraced it and began to recite, may Allah be pleased with him and grant him satisfaction. Then a black man entered upon him, who named himself "the black death," so he strangled him—he strangled ʿUthmān, may Allah be pleased with him—then struck him with the sword while he was reciting the Quran, and some of his blood flew onto the Muṣḥaf, may Allah be pleased with him and grant him satisfaction. ولفظ انفاسه الاخيرة شهيداً في سبيل الله رب العالمين. هكذا انتهت حياته رضي الله عنه وقد جاوز الثمانين، وقضاها كلها في طاعة الله سبحانه وعز ولذلك أيها الاخوة هذه الفتنة العظيمة التي كان ضحيتها الخليفة الراشد، كان من أسبابها ذكر مثالبه وذكر معايبه والزيادة فيها And he breathed his last breaths as a shahīd in the path of Allah, the Rabb (Lord) of every created thing. And by this, his life ended, may Allah be pleased with him, after he had surpassed eighty years, where he spent all of it in obedience to Allah, سبحانه وعز Therefore, O brothers, this great fitnah (tribulation), whose victim was the Rightly Guided Caliph, was caused by mentioning his faults and flaws and exaggerating them. أيضا اجتماع هؤلاء الأوباش والرعاع وعدم سماعهم لأكابر الصحابة رضي الله عنهم وأرضاهم وعدم صدورهم عن العلماء الأكابر Also, the gathering of these lowly people and rabbles, their failure to listen to the senior Companions, may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction, and their failure to take guidance from the senior scholars. أيضا الاستجابة لمن كان مندساً بين المسلمين مثل عبد الله بن سبأ وتصديقه في مثل هذه الأحداث كل هذا جرّ على الأمة مثل هذه الويلات ومثل هذا البلاء الذي ما زالت الأمة تصطلي بناره. In addition, responding to those who had infiltrated among the Muslims, such as ʿAbdullah ibn Sabāʾ, and believing him in such events—all of this brought upon the Ummah such calamities and such tribulations, whose fire the Ummah is still burning with. وما زال كثير من المسلمين للأسف الشديد لا يأخذون الدروس ولا العبر من هذه الحادثة العظيمة والتي في واقع الأمر تمثل كارثة من الكوارث و مصيبة من المصائب. And many Muslims, unfortunately, still do not take lessons or heed from this great incident, which, in reality, represents a disaster among disasters and a calamity among calamities. سيرة عثمان بن عفان، سيرة زكية، وحياته حياة نقية مليئة بالعمل والجد والإجتهاد والعبادة والتقرب إلى الله سبحانه وتعالى فَحَرِيٌّ بنا أن نأخذ من هديه وسيرته لأنه تربى على يد النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم The biography of ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffan is a righteous biography, and his life is a pure life, filled with actions, seriousness, striving [in the way of Allah], worship, and drawing nearness to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. So it is befitting for us to take from his guidance and biogra
