The questioner:
What is the meaning of the statement that the caliphate of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was a gap between the two sheikhs and Ali ibn Abi Talib? And is this statement correct?
The Shaykh:
This is a false statement. This is an attack on the caliphate of Uthman. The one who says this is known in his books, and this is an attack on the caliphate of Uthman. It is a Shi'ite stain, the Shi'ite school of thought. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, my honorable brother.
The Shaykh:
(May Allah be pleased with him) his caliphate was a right. The people of the shura (consultation) and those to whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusted the matter while he was pleased with them, and to whom 'Umar entrusted it, chose him and agreed upon it, and the Muslims were pleased with his caliphate. So no one attacks his caliphate except one who is more foolish than his own donkey, as the Shaykh al-Islam said: whoever attacks the caliphate of one of these men is more foolish than his own donkey. Yes.
