Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S92) Aisha's رضي الله عنها force reached Basra, they stopped at a place called al-Hubayrah, which was just outside Basra. They called the leaders of Basra and said we seek the killers of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. Aisha رضي الله عنها wrote a letter to the governor of Koofa, Abu Musa al-Ashari رضي الله عنه, informing him to tell the people to remain inside so no further issues arise. Most of Basra joined Aisha رضي الله عنها to aid them in their quest to avenge Uthmaan رضي الله عنه.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S91) En route Makkah, Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم blamed themselves for what happened to Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. They now planned to find the murderers of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. In Makkah, our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها rallied the troops. Her force was ~3,000. The governor of Makkah, Abdullah Ibn Amir رضي الله عنه, joined her and so did Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم. The force headed for Basra, Iraq. Talha and Zubayr's stance was closer to the truth than Ameer Muawiya's رضي الله عنهم. All the Companions رضي الله عنهم involved were correct in their understanding - some were just closer to truth than others.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S93) Hukaym Ibn Jabla, who was one of the chief rebels, had the noose tightening around his neck. He attacked the force of Aisha رضي الله عنها. Aisha's رضي الله عنها force fought only to defend themselves, they did not want any bloodshed. Hukaym joined forces with the others who were involved in Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه assassination. A battle was fought between them and Aisha's رضي الله عنها force. The Khawaarij were wiped out, all except one of them. The Companions رضي الله عنهم said: we are only here for the killers of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, disengage if you have nothing to do with that. The Messenger ﷺ said the reward is immense for the one who fights against the khawaarij.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S90) Our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها also took the same stance as Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم - that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه had to be avenged immediately. Aisha رضي الله عنها was in Makkah performing Hajj whilst Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه house was being besieged. She رضي الله عنها left Madinah hoping it would cause the fitnah to reduce and also to get her brother Muhammad Ibn Abu Bakr (r.h) out of the fitnah. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم waited ~4 months after Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه martyrdom, giving Ali رضي الله عنه enough time however no decision was made, so they sought permission from Ali رضي الله عنه to leave Madinah and he granted them it. Abdullah Ibn Zubayr رضي الله عنهم also went with them to Makkah

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S89) Talha and Zubayr pledged allegiance to Ali رضي الله عنهم. The Muhajireen and Ansar رضي الله عنهم also pledged. Aisha, Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم told al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays (r.h) to pledge to Ali رضي الله عنه. The problems with trying to get Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه murderers was that there wasn't sufficient witnesses. Also, Ali رضي الله عنه at the time was not able to take the murderers to task. Talha, Zubayr and a group of other Companions رضي الله عنهم went to Ali رضي الله عنه and said revenge must be taken immediately.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S82) During the Khilafat of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه: Uthmaan was ~28 years older than Zubayr رضي الله عنهم. Abdullah Ibn Jafar رضي الله عنهم would take out a loan and use this money for trade. The Messenger ﷺ said whoever takes out a loan, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى is with him until he pays it back. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى will pay it back for him. (Of course, this can only be done as a lawful loan and also not for extravagance). Our mother Maymoonah رضي الله عنها would also do this. The Messenger ﷺ: “Jafar [رضي الله عنه] most resembles my looks and my personality. You, Abdullah [i.e Ibn Jafar رضي الله عنهم], out of all of Allah's سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى creation resemble your father the most”. The Messenger ﷺ once placed Abdullah Ibn Jafar رضي الله عنهم in front of himself ﷺ on his beast of burden, and he ﷺ placed either Hasan or Hussain رضي الله عنهم behind himself ﷺ. What an honour for Abdullah Ibn Jafar! رضي الله عنهم

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S84) During the year of the nose bleeds, an aged Uthmaan رضي الله عنه suffered from a severe nose bleed thus couldn't attend Hajj. He رضي الله عنه wrote his will. When he was asked to appoint a successor he said do the people suggest Zubayr? رضي الله عنه. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه said Zubayr رضي الله عنه is the best amongst us to succeed and the most beloved to the Messenger ﷺ. The fitnah erupts: Uthmaan رضي الله عنه had longest khilafat, lasting around 12 years. The first 6 years were free of problems, but the last 6 years is when the fitnah broke out. Abu Ubaydah رضي الله عنه said that it Umar رضي الله عنه dies, Islam will weaken. He رضي الله عنه said whoever leads after Umar رضي الله عنه will not be able to fill those shoes, even if he follows Umar رضي الله عنه exactly.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S85) The fitnah had spread. Zubayr رضي الله عنه ordered Abdullah Ibn Zubayr رضي الله عنهم to guard Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه house from the rebels. Hasan, Hussain, Abdullah Ibn Umar and Marwaan رضي الله عنهم also rushed their with their swords, but Uthmaan رضي الله عنه didn't give them permission to fight. The day of Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه martyrdom, he told Abdullah Ibn Zubayr رضي الله عنهم to leave and gave him his will and told him to pass it to Zubayr رضي الله عنه.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S86) 4 were injured when defending Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه house. They were: Hasan Ibn Ali, Abdullah Ibn Zubayr, Muhammad Ibn Haatib and Marwaan Ibn Hakam رضي الله عنهم. Zubayr رضي الله عنه himself offered to defend the house of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was martyred whilst reciting the Qur'an, on a Friday, whilst fasting, in Madinah, in the month of Zhul Hijjah. After martyring Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, the rebels went on a looting spree in Madinah. The guards said: “Save yourselves, these wretches are only after worldly gains”. ~1,000 men were part of the force of rebels who sieged Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه house. The ring leaders of this rebellious force were now going to be hunted down.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S87) All those who murdered Uthmaan رضي الله عنه were themselves killed. They also died still believing they were correct in their beliefs. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه reminds Talha رضي الله عنه of a Hadith of the Messenger ﷺ which only they heard. (This is another proof of Prophethood). Upon hearing of Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه martyrdom, Zubayr رضي الله عنه recited Surah [34:54].

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S88) Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه funeral prayer was lead by Zubayr رضي الله عنه according to one report and he also buried him. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه couldn't be buried for 3 days due to the commotion that was occurring. He had to be buried between Maghrib and Isha. Angels (a.s) from the Heavens read his Janazah also, an honour unique for him. Zubayr رضي الله عنه was ~57 years old when Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was martyred. He رضي الله عنه was now processing this and had feelings of anger. Justice needed to be served.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S79) Whenever one of the Muhajireen رضي الله عنهم asked Umar رضي الله عنه to allow them to go for jihad he would say no, you did jihad with the Messenger ﷺ and that is enough. Zubayr رضي الله عنه once asked to go and Umar رضي الله عنه said no, you must stay as you leaving would cause civil war. (On some occasions Umar رضي الله عنه would let the Senior Companions رضي الله عنهم out of Madinah to do jihad). Ali, Uthmaan, Talha, Zubayr, Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqaas and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنهم once gathered and they said that the people want to approach Umar رضي الله عنه to get their needs fulfilled but they're scared of him - they told Abdul Rahman رضي الله عنه to speak to Umar رضي الله عنه.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S81) Haafiz Zhahabi (r.h) said one of the greatest deeds of Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه was that he stepped down from the Khilafat. He said he preferred to be stabbed in the neck with a knife. Zubayr dropped out and voted for Ali. Talha dropped out and voted for Uthmaan. Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqaas dropped out and voted for Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنهم. The decision was difficult, it took Abdul Rahman رضي الله عنه the full 3 days to decide. He رضي الله عنه consulted with everyone, the Muhajireen and Ansar رضي الله عنهم, the wise people etc. Everyone agreed that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was the best amongst them and he should be the Caliph.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S68) Just ~3 months after the farewell Hajj the Messenger ﷺ passed away. Zubayr رضي الله عنه was present at the farewell Hajj. The Messenger ﷺ a few weeks prior gave a beautiful message to the people. He ﷺ said Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه has never failed me, know his status. I ﷺ am well pleased with Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, Ali, Talha, Zubayr and all the earliest Muhaajireen رضي الله عنهم. Do not pain me regarding my Companions and Family رضي الله عنهم lest Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى deals with you. Ali رضي الله عنه said he heard with his own ears that the Messenger ﷺ said Talha and Zubayr will be his (ﷺ) neighbours in Paradise.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S59) The Divine Help: Many things occurred to aid the believers. A man called Nu'aym رضي الله عنه from the Banu Ghatafaan came to the Messenger ﷺ and embraced Islam during the battle. The Messenger ﷺ told Nu'aym رضي الله عنه instructions and he defeated the enemies from within, playing a genius role. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى sent a cold wind which affected the enemies on the outside and He سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى also sent Angels (a.s). With all this combined, Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه decided he was leaving and others followed him. All that was left now was the Banu Qurayzah. Zubayr رضي الله عنه was one of those who pledged to the Messenger ﷺ under the tree when the rumour spread that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was martyred. The Messenger ﷺ said whoever pledged to him on that day will not enter the fire. The treaty of Hudaybeeyah was signed, this was a great win for the Muslims

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S64) The Messenger ﷺ sent Khaatib رضي الله عنه to Makawkis when inviting the world leaders to Islam. Khaatib رضي الله عنه was handsome, he had a handsome body with rough fingers. Khaatib رضي الله عنه was the one who brought back Maria, Sheereen رضي الله عنهم and Dul Dul (gifts from Makawkis). The Messenger ﷺ married Maria, she was the mother of Ibraaheem رضي الله عنهم. Sheereen was Maria's sister, she married either Muhammad Ibn Qais or Hasan Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنهم. Khaatib رضي الله عنه was an archer, present at every battle side by side the Messenger ﷺ. He passed away ~30 A.H, aged ~65, during Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه caliphate, before the fitnah broke out. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه lead his Janazah and he رضي الله عنه was buried in al-Baqee.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S41) The Angels (a.s) that were present at Badr were the best of the Angels. The Muslims (a.s) that were present at Badr were the best of the Muslims. Ubaydah Ibn Sa'eed Ibn al-Aas was a warrior at Badr, he sought a fight. The only thing that was visible was Ubaydah's eyes I.e due to him being covered in armour. Zubayr رضي الله عنه launched with a spear and killed him, piercing through his exposed eye area. The Messenger ﷺ asked for the spear as a memento. It was then passed onto Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan and it ended up with the family of Ali رضي الله عنهم. Abdullah Ibn Zubayr asked for it from the family of Ali رضي الله عنهم and they gave it him, thus it was with him رضي الله عنه ~seventy years after Badr.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S20) Abu Bakr's family رضي الله عنهم had the unique honour of being the only family which had 4 generations that were all Companions رضي الله عنهم of the Messenger ﷺ. They are: Abu Quhafa (the father of Abu Bakr), Abu Bakr, Asmaa bint Abu Bakr and Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (the son of Asmaa, grandson of Abu Bakr) رضي الله عنهم. Another one of Zubayr's رضي الله عنه wives was Umm Kulthoom bint Uqbah رضي الله عنها. She رضي الله عنها was the sister of Uthmaan Ibn Affaan رضي الله عنه. They shared the same mother, Arwa رضي الله عنها (But had different fathers). Thus, Zubayr رضي الله عنه was the brother in law of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. A blessed relationship. Umm Kulthoom bint Uqbah رضي الله عنها embraced Islam in Makkah and migrated.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S27) Zubayr رضي الله عنه was so beloved and trusted he was asked by 7 Companions رضي الله عنهم if he رضي الله عنه could look after their children رضي الله عنهم after they passed away. This includes: Uthmaan, Abdullah Ibn Masood and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنهم. Zubayr رضي الله عنه was one of a kind. The Messenger ﷺ grabbed the tail of Zubayr's رضي الله عنه turban and gave him priceless, tailored advice to spend in the path of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى.

Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S55) - Final session Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه was now in his 90s, he fell ill and passed away from this illness. At ~94 years old, in ~32 A.H, during Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه caliphate, Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه passed away. (There is a difference regarding the exact year, the range is from 30-34 A.H. The strongest view is 32 A.H). Thus passed away the cousin and father in law of the Messenger ﷺ, the father of Umm Habeebah, Yazeed and Muawiya رضي الله عنهم, the one promised Paradise twice upon the loss of his sight, the shaykh and sayed of the Quraysh, the one who saw many miracles, the brave preacher on the plain of Yarmook, the blessed companion of the Messenger ﷺ: Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه performed his رضي الله عنه Janazah and Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه was buried in the blessed graveyard of al-Baqee.

Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S35) Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه being the chief, was chosen to try and fix this matter. He رضي الله عنه went to Madinah to see the Messenger ﷺ. Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه arrives in Madinah and goes to the Messenger ﷺ first. He then goes to his daughter, Umm Habeebah رضي الله عنهم. Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه goes to sit down on the Messenger's ﷺ bedding and Umm Habeebah رضي الله عنهم moves it out of the way. Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه wanted his case to be heard. He decided to go to Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Uthmaan, then Ali رضي الله عنهم. Note the order he رضي الله عنه visited them! Ali رضي الله عنه gives Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه some words to help him in this matter.

Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S29) The Messenger ﷺ camped at Hudaybeeyah. He ﷺ sent Kharraash Ibn Umayyah رضي الله عنه as the first ambassador. The unbelieving Quraysh killed his camel and almost killed him! رضي الله عنه. Umar رضي الله عنه recommended sending Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, as he رضي الله عنه had family in Makkah and would be safer there. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه goes to Makkah. The rumour was spread that he رضي الله عنه had been martyred and thus the famous pledge under the tree was taken. ~1,400 Companions رضي الله عنهم pledged to the Messenger ﷺ. Everyone (رضي الله عنهم) who pledged to the Messenger ﷺ under the tree on that day is free from the fire. اَللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ.

The Prophets (a.s) (S12) Muazh Ibn Amr Ibn al-Jamooh رضي الله عنهم loses his arm at the battle of Badr. He brings it to the Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger ﷺ uses his blessed saliva and reattaches Muazh's رضي الله عنه arm. Muazh Ibn Amr رضي الله عنهم lived on until the Khilafat of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. The Messenger ﷺ performed many miracles even before he ﷺ proclaimed. One example is the story of his (ﷺ) wrestling match With Ruqana رضي الله عنه: Ruqana Ibn Abd Yazeed رضي الله عنه: He رضي الله عنه was from Banu Hashim, thus a cousin of the Messenger ﷺ. He رضي الله عنه was the undefeated wrestler amongst the Quraysh. The Messenger ﷺ defeats Ruqana رضي الله عنه three times without breaking a sweat!

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S38) Ali's رضي الله عنه election to the high post: Madinah was leaderless. Chaos was spread. The time came for Imam Ali رضي الله عنه to become the Khalif. al-Ghaafiqee Ibn Harb, one of the rebel leaders, led Madinah for 5 days upon the martyrdom of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. The rebels searched for a new leader, so they could get the blame off themselves for the crimes they had committed. The Companions رضي الله عنهم approach Ali رضي الله عنه and say you are the most worthy of Khilafat amongst us. Ali رضي الله عنه called for the allegiance to be done in the blessed Masjid. Ali رضي الله عنه later would say the only reason he became Khalif was out of fear that Islam would diminish.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S39) The difficulties in avenging Uthmaan رضي الله عنه: No one could have been singled out as the murderer of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, as many people were involved. There was also not enough witnesses so Ali رضي الله عنه could not make plans to go forward. Talha asked Ali for leadership in Basra, Zubayr asked Ali (رضي الله عنهم) for leadership in Kufa, so they could immediately get vengeance for Uthmaan رضي الله عنه and destroy the Khawarij. Ali رضي الله عنه said he needed time to think about this. Putting it simply; this difference in opinion between how the vengeance of Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه murder should be handled is what caused the civil war to break out between the noble Companions رضي الله عنهم. Today we still discuss this, and these souls are in Firdaus. Our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها very wisely decides to stay in Makkah upon hearing that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was murdered and that rebels were loose in Madinah…

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S40) Talha, Zubayr, Abdullah Ibn Zubayr and Abdullah Ibn Amir, the governor of Makkah, رضي الله عنهم all joined our the force of our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها. By being on Aisha's رضي الله عنها side, Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم did not break their pledge to Ali رضي الله عنه, for ultimately all parties' goal was the same - avenge Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. It was just executed differently. The force was around 3,000. They headed for Basra, as it was neutral land and most of the rebels were in Madinah. The reasoning was as follows; 1) To avenge Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, and get his killers. 2) To show the true colours of the rebels and expose their mischief. 3) To bring peace between the Muslims. 4) to enjoin good and forbid evil. Aisha's رضي الله عنها leading was symbolic: She being our mother رضي الله عنها was a symbol of peace. When the people see her coming they will stand down and realise the matter is serious and needs to be handled.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S41) All of our mothers رضي الله عنهم agreed with Aisha رضي الله عنها that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه needed to be avenged. Her followers were righteous people, Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم said the followers were the best of people. Our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها was the most qualified of the Messenger's ﷺ wives to lead here. The only difference in opinion between our mothers رضي الله عنهم was whether they should go to Madinah or Basra. Although this was a sad time in our history, it boosts our Iman. How? For many words of the Messenger ﷺ were, as always, proven to be true.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S42) The force reaches al-Hubayrah, an area just outside Basra. Messengers were sent calling for the nobles and leaders from the city to help identify the killers of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. The governor of Basra was Uthmaan Ibn Hunayf رضي الله عنه, he was appointed by Ali رضي الله عنه. Our mother Aisha (a.s) elucidates the situation to Uthmaan Ibn Hunayf رضي الله عنه. She رضي الله عنها also sends a letter to Abu Musa al-Ashari رضي الله عنه, who was the governor of Kufa appointed by Ali (a.s). Some people ignorantly claim that nothing good came out of the force that our mother رضي الله عنها gathered. This is false. One of the fruits was such; the killing of Hukaym Ibn Jabala, one of the rebel leaders. All but one of the rebels were wiped out. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم called out: “We are only here for Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه murderers. If you were not involved then stay away”. Such was the nobility of the Companions رضي الله عنهم. The Messenger ﷺ: “The best of mankind are those who kill them [i.e the Khawarij] or are killed by them [i.e the Khawarij]”.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S36) Ali's son, Muhammad Ibn al-Hanafiyah رضي الله عنهم said his father never spoke ill of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. Ali رضي الله عنه: “Whoever speaks ill of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه is like the one who tries to stab someone that is behind him, by stabbing though his own stomach!”. Talha رضي الله عنه was of the last to pledge to Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه said: “Should you want, I will step down”. Talha رضي الله عنه said no, you will lead and gave Uthmaan رضي الله عنه the pledge. The love between Uthmaan, Ali and Talha رضي الله عنهم was such.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S37) Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه Khilafat lasted 12 years. The first 6 were peaceful, the last 6 was when the fitnah began. The mischief mongers were spreading their propaganda, wanting to destroy Islam from within. The rebels were lead by the following; Abdul Rahman Ibn Udays, Malik al-Ashtar and Hukaym Ibn Jabla. When Talha رضي الله عنه heard of Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه martyrdom he made dua for him, and said may the killers perish! He then recited Surah [36:49]. Talha رضي الله عنه said: “Certainly, Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was innocent”. Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه funeral was so packed, if you threw a stone it would certainly land on someone's head (I.e no space was left free). Talha رضي الله عنه was ~63 when Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was martyred. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was ~84.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S35) With Umar's رضي الله عنه passing, Talha رضي الله عنه was around 51 years old. Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه said let us boil it down to three of us. Zubayr رضي الله عنه stepped down and nominated Ali رضي الله عنه. Talha رضي الله عنه stepped down and nominated Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqaas رضي الله عنه stepped down and nominated Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه. The council was long, the decision was difficult. It took Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه three days to decide his decision. Abdul Rahman couldn't sleep and tells his nephew Miswar Ibn Mahrama رضي الله عنهم to summon Zubayr and Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqaas رضي الله عنهم. They discuss for a portion of the night. He then called for Ali, discussed for half the night and then called Uthmaan رضي الله عنهم and discussed till Fajr. The 3 days were up… Everyone gathers in Masjid Nabi ﷺ. The blessed 6 رضي الله عنهم gather near The Messenger's ﷺ pulpit and the senior Companions رضي الله عنهم were at the front. The people were in agreement and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه says to Ali رضي الله عنه that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه shall be the successor.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S28) The Messenger ﷺ: “The best of mankind is the one whose age is long and deeds are bountiful. The worst of mankind is the one whose age is long and his deeds are corrupt”. The third Kalimah, the everlasting deeds… Why was Talha رضي الله عنه the one to have these dreams? Beautifully put; he craved martyrdom at Uhud, but lived on ~35 years afterwards! In those years, the works he did were unfathomable! Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى was giving him something greater than martyrdom, a long life full of piety. اَللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ. Why are we surprised regarding the works of this man, for The Messenger ﷺ said: “Abu Bakr will be in Paradise. Umar will be in Paradise. Uthmaan will be in Paradise. Ali will be in Paradise. Talha will be in Paradise. Zubayr will be in Paradise. Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf will be in Paradise. Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqaas will be in Paradise. Sa'eed Ibn Zayd will be in Paradise. Abu Ubaydah Ibn al-Jarrah will be in Paradise”. (رضي الله عنهم)

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S47) During the reign of the 2 Shaykhs رضي الله عنهم: Whenever Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه needed men of knowledge for a meeting, he'd gather Umar, Uthmaan, Ali, Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf, Muazh Ibn Jabal, Ubayy Ibn Ka'ab & Zayd Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنهم. (Muazh رضي الله عنه even gave fatwa during the lifetime of The Messenger ﷺ). Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه dismisses Khalid Ibn Sa'eed رضي الله عنه and puts in his place Shurahbeel Ibn Hasana رضي الله عنه. Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه informs Shurahbeel رضي الله عنه to consult with 3 excellent men who will yield excellent results; Abu Ubaydah, Muazh Ibn Jabal and Khalid Ibn Sa'eed رضي الله عنهم. Muazh رضي الله عنه seeks permission to participate in Jihad in Shaam. Umar رضي الله عنه doesn't want Muazh رضي الله عنه to go for Jihad, as he was such an ocean of knowledge that the people needed him…

Muazh Ibn Jabal (رضي الله عنه) (S18) The Sunnah of making up missed rakats was introduced by Muazh رضي الله عنه, and The Messenger ﷺ ordered us to follow suit. Now, billions follow - imagine the honour for Muazh! رضي الله عنه The Messenger ﷺ: “The most compassionate of my Ummah, to my Ummah is Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه. The strictest in religious rulings is Umar رضي الله عنه. The truest in Haya is Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. The best reciter of the Qur'an is Ubay Ibn Ka'ab رضي الله عنه. The most learned in inheritance laws is Zayd Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنه. The most learned in matters of Halal and Haram is Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه. Every Ummah has a trustworthy one, this Ummah has Abu Ubaydah رضي الله عنه”. Umar, Ali and Muazh رضي الله عنهم all share the same opinion with regards to a Hadith - such is an honour to be amongst these two great souls.

al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه (S58) Sa'eed Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه once asked for some water, and someone from a dwelling brought it. The person was in debt and was going to sell his house. Sa'eed رضي الله عنه intervened and cleared the man's debt of 4,000 Dirhams! Such was his generosity! When Umar رضي الله عنه was martyred, Sa'eed رضي الله عنه proposed to Umm Kulthoom bint Ali رضي الله عنهم, and gifted her 100,000 Dirhams. Umm Kulthoom and Imam Hassan رضي الله عنهم were happy with this, but Imam Hussain رضي الله عنه didn't want to go through with it. So Sa'eed رضي الله عنه said: “I will never enter anything that Imam Hussain رضي الله عنه dislikes”. Sa'eed رضي الله عنه was the one who lead Imam Hassan's رضي الله عنه janazah! Sa'eed رضي الله عنه was of those who personally defended Ameer ul Mumineen Uthmaan رضي الله عنه when he was besieged - however Sa'eed didn't receive permission to draw his sword.

al-Mugheera ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه (S57) When Sa'eed Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه was previously governor of Kufa, he conquered Tabristan, Jarjaan and settled the uprising in Azerbaijan. He was known for his incredible strength and bravery. Just as one searches for the new moon in Ramadan, people would search for Sa'eed on the battlefield to witness his show. He رضي الله عنه was extremely generous. A man had 4 blood moneys that needed paying, 4 people were suggested; Hasan Ibn Ali, Abdullah Ibn Jafar, Sa'eed Ibn al-Aas and Ubaydallah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم. A man once wept when Sa'eed رضي الله عنه helped him. The man said: “Where will I find a man like you on Earth after your passing?”. Sa'eed رضي الله عنه would put himself in debt just to aid others. Our Messenger ﷺ said whoever is in a [lawful] debt, then Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى is with you. Indeed, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى was with Sa'eed. Sa'eed was just like his first cousin, Uthmaan رضي الله عنهم. He gave without being asked, he never said no. This was the man who Mugheera رضي الله عنه didn't want to lead over the Kufans - imagine how they would treat this noble soul.

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه Session 52 The 5 Signs of the dreaded fitnah... The departing of Abbas (ra) Mugeerah advises Uthmaan (raa), but the latter is well aware of the inevitable.

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S16) During the fitnah in Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه khilafat, our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) went to perform Hajj to leave the chaos. Our mother Umm Habeeba رضي الله عنها being from the same tribe as Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, wanted to help him. She went on her mule to supply some water, however she was stopped by the rebels - they struck her mule and it bolted. Our mother رضي الله عنها was almost killed. These rebels had the audacity to attack their mother… Aisha رضي الله عنها left Madinah to help ease the situation - she called for her brother, Muhammad رضي الله عنه to come with her, but he refused. Aisha رضي الله عنها said: “If the entire Earth was filled with these rebels, Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه finger would be greater!”. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم met with our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) at Makkah - plans were taking place for the vengeance of Uthmaan's assassination. Hafsah رضي الله عنها wanted to go to Busra, however her brother, Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم intervened and she did not proceed.

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S17) Hukaym Ibn Jabalah - one of the chiefs of the khawarij. He initiated a fight against our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها. Our mother instructed her forces not to fight, and to only defend themselves. Aisha رضي الله عنها had rallied an army - it was fit for her to lead as she was the most knowledgeable of the Messenger's ﷺ wives. These rebels tried assassinating Aisha (رضي الله عنها) - they were caught outside her door and executed. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم made the dua: “O Allah (swt), destroy those who killed Uthmaan (رضي الله عنه)”. A battle took place between our mother Aisha's رضي الله عنها forces and the rebels who rallied an army. They were all wiped out, except one. This silences those who claim nothing good came out of Aisha's رضي الله عنها stance. Shortly after this battle, the battle of the camel took place. Shayateens on both sides instigated it - ultimately Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم were martyred. Aisha رضي الله عنها thought due to her status and rights over the believers, that her stance would not end in violence. Aisha رضي الله عنها later grieved over this endeavour. Both sides of this story were in the right - the companions (رضي الله عنهم) were all right in their respective positions. When Ameer Muaviya (رضي الله عنه) became the next caliph, our mother Hafsah رضي الله عنها was ~58 years old.

Hafsah bint Umar (رضي الله عنهم) (S2) Umar رضي الله عنه first went to Uthmaan رضي الله عنه to ask if he wanted to marry Hafsah رضي الله عنها, however he stated he was not ready. Umar رضي الله عنه went to tell the messenger ﷺ of this, to which he ,ﷺ, said: “Hafsah will marry a man better than Uthmaan. Uthmaan will marry a woman better than Hafsah”. (رضي الله عنهم). The blessed marriage took place in 3 A.H, in the month of shabaan. The first time our messenger ﷺ called Umar رضي الله عنه ‘Abu Hafsa' رضي الله عنها was at the battle of Badr!

Haarithah ibn Nu'umaan ibn Nafee Al Nasari (ra) The Messenger ﷺ said, I have grown shy from Haarithah (ra) because of the dwellings he gave up for us (Ibn Sa'd Tabaqat). "The 2 men who were the kindest to their mothers are Uthmaan ibn Afaan (ra) and Haaritha ibn Nu'u'maan (ra). As for Uthmaan (ra), he has not been able to look at his mother since the day he embraced Islaam. Whilst as for Haaritha ibn Nu'u'maan (ra), he would delouse his mother's hair and fed her with his hand. Jibreel (as) speaks of Haaritha (ra), He is from the 80 men who persevered on the Day of Hunayn, their provision and that of their children is in paradise (Ahmed, Musnad).

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 35 The Day of The House The Civil Wars "Uthmaan ibn Affaan Zhul Noorayn (ra) was killed unlawfully and he will thus be given a double reward' (Tabarani).

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 18 The Messenger ﷺ advises 3 Companions (Alee, Abdullah ibn Amr & Uthmaan ibn Mazhoon raa) who asked about how much they should worship... I ﷺ fast and I also take Iftaar I ﷺ offer Salah and I also sleep I ﷺ also marry He who turns away from my Sunnah is not of me ﷺ (Bukhari).
