[Machine] Uthman bin Affan, if we follow your opinion, it is indeed the right path. And if we follow the opinion of the sheikh before you, then he was indeed a person of good judgment.

[Machine] For me, I have seen an opinion in the matter, so if you see fit to follow it, then follow it." Uthman said, "If we were to follow your opinion, indeed it would be right guidance.

[Machine] He said, "I have been stabbed." He continued, "Indeed, I have seen in Al-Jadd (a city) a vision.
