Question:
If Uthman had not interceded, would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have killed Abdullah ibn Sa'd ibn Abi al-Sara?
Answer:
Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) interceded, and he came repentant; this indicates that there is no harm in accepting the repentance of one who comes repentant and remorseful before the authority can take action against him.
