Sahih al-Bukhari #3709
Merits of the Helpers in Madinah (Ansaar)
That Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth had said to him,
"What prevents you from speaking to your uncle `Uthman regarding his brother Al-Walid bin `Uqba?"
The people were speaking against the latter for what he had done. 'Ubaidullah said, "So I kept waiting
for `Uthman, and when he went out for the prayer, I said to him, 'I have got something to say to you as
a piece of advice.' `Uthman said, 'O man! I seek Refuge with Allah from you. So I went away. When I
finished my prayer, I sat with Al-Miswar and Ibn 'Abu Yaghutb and talked to both of them of what I
had said to `Uthman and what he had said to me. They said, 'You have done your duty.' So while I
was sitting with them. `Uthman's Messenger came to me. They said, 'Allah has put you to trial."
I set out and when I reached `Uthman, he said, 'What is your advice which you mentioned a while
ago?' I recited Tashahhud and added, 'Allah has sent Muhammad and has revealed the Holy Book (i.e.
Qur'an) to him. You (O `Uthman!) were amongst those who responded to the call of Allah and His
Apostle and had faith in him. And you took part in the first two migrations (to Ethiopia and to
Medina), and you enjoyed the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and learned his traditions and advice. Now
the people are talking much about Al-Walid bin `Uqba and so it is your duty to impose on him the
legal punishment.' `Uthman then said to me, 'O my nephew! Did you ever meet Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?' I
said, 'No, but his knowledge has reached me as it has reached the virgin in her seclusion.'
`Uthman then recited Tashahhud and said, 'No doubt, Allah has sent Muhammad with the Truth and
has revealed to him His Holy Book (i.e. Qur'an) and I was amongst those who responded to the call of
Allah and His Apostle and I had faith in Muhammad's Mission, and I had performed the first two
migrations as you have said, and I enjoyed the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and gave the pledge of
allegiance to him. By Allah, I never disobeyed him and never cheated him till Allah caused him to die.
Then Allah made Abu Bakr Caliph, and by Allah, I was never disobedient to him, nor did I cheat him.
Then `Umar became Caliph, and by Allah, I was never disobedient to him, nor did I cheat him. Then I
became Caliph. Have I not then the same rights over you as they had over me?' I replied in the
affirmative. `Uthman further said, 'The what are these talks which are reaching me from you? As for
what you ha mentioned about Al-Walid bin 'Uqb; Allah willing, I shall give him the leg; punishment
justly. Then `Uthman ordered that Al-Walid be flogged fort lashes. He ordered `Ali to flog him an he
himself flogged him as well."
