Page 4 of 43 1. Introduction This is Answering-Ansar’s refutation of Ansar’s article on ‘Uthman. The gist of its author Nasibi Abu Sulaiman is to absolve the Sahaba of any wrongdoing in the killing of ‘Uthman. He has done his utmost to locate sources that protect the leading companions, for he knows too well that failure to do so, in effect raises serious questions on the Ahl’ul Sunnah’s aqeedah on the justice of the Sahaba. Like his previous articles this is another feeble attempt to protect the Sahaba, and point the finger at other quarters in hope that he can convince his readers that the Shi’a are liars. Yet again Abu Sulaiman has used dishonesty, and yet again his lies shall be exposed. Copyright © 2002-2003 Answering-Ansar.org. • All Rights Reserved

Identifying ‘Uthman’s killers 2.1 Hadhrath Ayesha’s lead role in killing ‘Uthman Many of the books of Ahl’ul Sunnah record that Ayesha had declared ‘Uthman a Nathal that should be killed. Amongst those texts are the following: 1. Manaqib by Khawarzmi, page 117 2. Tadkhirath al Khawwas page 38 3. Asadul Ghaba Volume 3 page 14, "Dhikr Jamal" 4. Al Istiab Volume 2 page 185 5. Al Nahaya Volume 5 page 80 6. Qamus page 500 "lughut Nathal" by Firozabadi 7. Iqd al Fareed Volume 2 page 117 "Dhikr Jamal" 8. Sharh Nahjul Balagha Ibn al Hadeed Volume 2 page 122 9. Shaykh Mudheera page 163 Interestingly Abu Sulaiman seeks to deny that Ayesha had ever used such language against ‘Uthman by deviously quoting as follows: Ansar.org states: This story was narrated by Nasr bin Muzahim. Al-Aqeeli says about Nasr bin Muzahim, “He tends to be a Shi’a, and his narrations are filled with confusions and mistakes.” [Al-Du’afa by Al-Aqeeli, vol.4, p.300, #. 1899]. Al-Thahabi says about him, “A hardcore Rafidhi (Shi’a), and his narrations are not taken as authentic. Abu Khaythamah said, ‘He was a liar.’ Abu Hatim said, ‘Weak narrator, and is not taken as an argument.’ Al-Darqutni said, ‘His narrations are weak.’ ” [Al-Mizan by Al-Thahabi, vol.4, p.253, #. 9046]. “Al-Jowzani said, ‘Nasr was a fake person and far away from truth.’ Salih bin Muhamed said, ‘Nasr bin Muzahim narrated ugly stories from unreliable narrators.’ Al-Hafudh Abi Al- Fath Muhamed bin Al-Hussain said, ‘Nasr bin Muzahim goes excess in his denomination.’” [Tareekh Baghdad by Al-Baghdadi, vol.13, p.283]. We should point out that Abu Sulaiman fails to cite WHICH TEXT contains the name of Nasr bin Muzahim! Ayesha’s takfeer against ‘Uthman is not just restricted to Nasr bin Muzahim the classical Sunni scholars who have narrated from various chains! Sahaba had even reminded Ayesha of her takfeer against ‘Uthman (as we shall prove later)! Ibn Atheer in Nahaya page 80 Volume 5 and Ibn Mansur in Lisan al Arab Volume 11 Chapter "Lughuth Nathal" page 670 both record that: "Nathal is one who has a long beard and Ayesha said kill this Nathal, by Nathal she was referring to ‘Uthman". Lisan al Arab by Ibn Mansur Volume 11 Chapter "Lughuth Nathal" page 670 2.2 Ayesha’s rethink about ‘ Uthman after his death Abu Sulaiman tries to negate Ayesha’s opposition to ‘Uthman by citing the following texts: Copyright © 2002-2003 Answering-Ansar.org. • All Rights Reserved
