Abu Muso al-Ash‘ariy aytadi: “Men Madina bog‘laridan birida Payg‘ambar ﷺ bilan birga edim. Shunda bir kishi kelib, eshikni ochishni so‘radi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ dedilar: ‘Unga eshikni och va unga Jannat xushxabarini ber.’ Men eshikni ochdim, va u Abu Bakr ekan. Men unga Payg‘ambar ﷺ aytgan xushxabarni yetkazdim. U Allohga hamd aytdi. Keyin yana bir kishi kelib, eshikni ochishni so‘radi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ dedilar: ‘Unga ham eshikni och va unga Jannat xushxabarini ber.’ Men eshikni ochdim, va u Umar ekan. Men unga Payg‘ambar ﷺ aytgan xushxabarni yetkazdim.

Abū Mūsā al-Ash‘arī  said, “I was with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in one of the gardens in Madinah, then a man came and requested that the door be opened. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ‘Open it for him, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.’ I opened for him, and it turned out to be Abū Bakr, so I gave him the glad tidings of what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had said. He praised Allah, and later another man came and requested that the door be opened. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ‘Open it for him, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.’ I opened for him, and it turned out to be ‘Umar, so I gave him the glad tidings of what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had said.

U (Allohga hamd aytdi), so'ng boshqa bir kishi kelib, eshikni ochishni so'radi. Nabiy ﷺ dedilar: "Unga eshikni oching va unga boshiga tushadigan bir musibat evaziga jannat xushxabarini bering." U ‘Usmon bo'lib chiqdi, shuning uchun men unga Allohning Elchisi ﷺ aytgan gapni xabar qildim. U Allohga hamd aytdi, so'ng dedi: "Yordam faqat Allohdan so'raladi."290 Boshqa rivoyatda Anas ibn Molik aytadi: Nabiy ﷺ Abu Bakr, ‘Umar va ‘Usmon bilan birga Uhud tog'iga chiqqanlarida, tog' ularning ostida silkindi. Nabiy ﷺ uni oyog'i bilan urib dedilar: "Sabot bo'l, Uhud! Sendan boshqa ustingda faqat bir Nabiy, bir siddiq va ikki shahid bor."291 ‘Umar va ‘Usmon ikkalasi ham o'z xalifaliklari davrida qotillik orqali shahid bo'lishdi. Xususan ‘Usmon haqida Nabiy ﷺ batafsilroq aytdilar: "Ey ‘Usmon, Alloh – Qudratli va Ulug' – seni ko'ylak bilan kiyintiradi. Agar munofiqlar uni yechishni talab qilsalar, meni ko'rguningizcha uni yechmang."292 Aynan shu ayblov – ‘Usmon o'sha ko'ylakni kiyishga (ya'ni xalifalikni egallashga) munosib emas, degan gap – g'alayonchilar uning uyini qamal qilib, bosib kirib, uni o'ldirishdan oldin takrorlagan edi.

He praised Allah, and later another man came and requested that the door be opened. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ‘Open it for him, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise due to a calamity that befalls him.’ It turned out to be ‘Uthmān, so I informed him of what the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم had said. He praised Allah, and then he said, ‘Allah is sought for help.’”290 In another narration, Anas ibn Mālik  reported that when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ascended Mount Uḥud along with Abū Bakr, ‘Umar, and ‘Uthmān, the mountain shook beneath them. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم tapped it with his foot and said, “Be firm, Uḥud, for upon you are none other than a Prophet, a ṣiddīq, and two martyrs.”291 Both ‘Umar and ‘Uthmān attained martyrdom by being assassinated during their respective caliphates. With ‘Uthmān in particular, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave further details: “O ‘Uthmān, Allah—the Mighty and Majestic—may garb you in a shirt. If the hypocrites demand that you remove it, do not remove it until you meet me.”292 It was this very accusation, that ‘Uthmān was unfit to “wear that shirt” (i.e., don the caliphate), that the mobs repeated before laying siege to and then storming his house and killing him.
