[Machine] Do I not see you asleep? By Allah, I have not slept much in the past three nights. Get up and call Zubair and Sa'd. I called them for him and he consulted them. Then he called me and said, "Call Ali for me." So I called him, and he whispered to him until dawn approached. Then he got up from there eagerly. Abdur Rahman was afraid of Ali, and then he said, "Call Uthman for me." So he whispered to him for a long time until the morning call to prayer separated them. When the people prayed Fajr and gathered, those companions gathered around the pulpit. Abdur Rahman sent messengers to those immigrants and Ansar who were present, and he sent to the governors. They had already pledged allegiance to Umar along with the Hajj. When they gathered, Abdur Rahman stood and said, "O Ali, I have thought about the matter of the people, and I have not seen them treating Uthman with justice. So do not take any action against yourself." And he took Uthman by the hand and said, "I pledge allegiance to you according to the way of Allah and the way of His Messenger, and the two caliphs after him." Abdur Rahman pledged allegiance to him, and the immigrants, the Ansar, the commanders of the armies, and the Muslims all pledged allegiance to him.
