“May they perish!”

When Talhah bin ‘Ubaydillaah – radiyallaahu ‘anhu – heard about the murder of ‘Uthmaan, he said, “May Allaah have mercy on ‘Uthmaan. Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji‘oon.”

It was said to him, “The people are regretting it.”

He said: May they perish!”

And he recited the Words of Allaah [which translate as]:

“They await only but a single Sayhah which will sieze them while they are disputing! Then they will not be able to make bequest, nor will they return to their family.”

[Soorah Yaa-Seen: 49-50]


["Al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah": 7/197]
