What is your opinion of one who invalidates the caliphate of 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and says:
If his caliphate is invalid, the truth is that the one who casts doubt on him has insulted the Muhajireen and the Ansar, and has criticized the Muhajireen and the Ansar. : That the caliphate of 'Ali is a natural extension of the caliphate of the two Shaykhs before him?This is less severe than the one who says: That the caliphate of 'Ali is an extension of the conduct of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him),
Whoever casts doubt on the caliphate of one of the four is more misguided than his own donkey.And we say: How could the Muslims have agreed on the caliphate of 'Uthman and 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) pledged allegiance to him without coercion,
