The position of the senior companions on the killing of Othman (may God be pleased with him)
Abstract
Some history books distorted the companions positions regarding the fitnah of Othmans murder, due to the weak and fabricated narratives mentioned by many historians, and those who follow the events of sedition and other news see that they were woven in a way with hostile tendencies to the correct history, and he feels that the Companions were the ones who were stirring the plot and stirring up strife. ... And unlike the established and weak narratives, the books of the hadiths have preserved for us the authentic narrations in which the Companions of those who supported Othman, those who opposed him, and those who were innocent of his murder, and those who demanded his blood after his killing appear, thus excluding any participation by them in stirring up or provoking sedition.
