\"\"<\/a>\u2018Uthmaan bin Mawhab (rahimahullah) narrates the following:<\/p>\n

On one occasion, a person from Egypt arrived in Makkah Mukarramah and performed haj. While in Makkah Mukaaramah, he saw a group of people seated and asked, \u201cWho are these people?\u201d They replied, \u201cThese are the Quraish.\u201d He then asked, \u201cWho is the most learned amongst them?\u201d They replied, \u201cThe most learned among them is Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma).\u201d<\/p>\n

The Egyptian man thus addressed Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) saying, \u201cO Ibnu \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma)! I wish to ask you regarding something, so please answer my questions.\u201d The man thereafter commenced asking his questions. He asked, \u201cDo you know that Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) fled during the Battle of Uhud?\u201d Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) replied, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man next asked, \u201cDo you know that Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was absent during the Battle of Badr?\u201d Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) replied, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, the man asked, \u201cDo you know that Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was absent during the Bay\u2018ah of Ridwaan and did not participate in it?\u201d Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) replied, \u201cYes.\u201d As this Egyptian was biased against Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and had ill feelings for him, he exclaimed, \u201cAllahu Akbar!\u201d in happiness, thinking that Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) supported the stance that he held against Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu). Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) then said to him, \u201cCome, let me explain to you the reality of what you are asking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) then explained:<\/p>\n

As for Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) fleeing during the Battle of Uhud, I bear witness that Allah Ta\u2018ala pardoned him and forgave him, together with the other Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) that fled during the Battle of Uhud (as Allah Ta\u2018ala declared forgiveness in the Qur\u2019aan Majeed for all those who fled during the Battle of Uhud).<\/p>\n

As for Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) not participating in the Battle of Badr, then the reason is that he was married to the respected daughter of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and she was ill. Hence, Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) remained behind on the instruction of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) so that he could attend to her and nurse her. Thus Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said to him, \u201cYou will receive the reward of the one who participated in Badr and you will also receive a share in the booty.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) being absent during the Bay\u2018ah of Ridwaan, then the reason is that there was no person who was more honored in the sight of the people of Makkah Mukarramah then Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu). Hence, Rasululah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) sent him to speak to the people of Makkah (and inform them that the Muslims had only come to perform \u2018umrah and had not come to fight). Had anyone been more honored than Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) would have sent that person instead of him. The Bay\u2018ah of Ridwaan only took place after Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) went to Makkah on the instruction of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) (as the rumor had spread that the people of Makkah had killed Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu)). Since Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was not present for the bay\u2018ah, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) gestured with his own blessed right hand saying, \u201cThis is the hand of Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu).\u201d Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) then placed his blessed right hand on his left hand and pledged allegiance on behalf of Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu).<\/p>\n

Hazrat \u2018Abdullah bin \u2018Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) then addressed the man and said, \u201cGo, and take these answers to your objections against Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) so that you do not harbor ill feelings against him.\u201d<\/p>\n
