I heard Saʿid bin Zaid saying to the people, "If you but saw me and ʿUmar's sister tied and forced by ʿUmar to leave Islam while he was not yet a Muslim. And if the mountain of Uhud could move from its place for the evil which you people have done to ʿUthman, it would have the right to do that."
أَنَّ أُحُدًا انْقَضَّ لِمَا صَنَعْتُمْ بِعُثْمَانَ لَكَانَ مَحْقُوقًا أَنْ يَنْقَضَّ
I heard Saʿid bin Zaid bin ʿAmr bin Nufail saying in the mosque of Al-Kufa. "By Allah, I have seen myself tied and forced by ʿUmar to leave Islam before ʿUmar himself embraced Islam. And if the mountain of Uhud could move from its place for the evil which you people have done to ʿUthman, then it would have the right to move from its place."
أَنَّ أُحُدًا ارْفَضَّ لِلَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ بِعُثْمَانَ لَكَانَ مَحْقُوقًا أَنْ يَرْفَضَّ
I heard Saʿid bin Zaid saying, "I have seen myself tied and forced by ʿUmar to leave Islam (Before ʿUmar himself embraced Islam). And if the mountain of Uhud were to collapse for the evil which you people had done to ʿUthman, then Uhud would have the right to do so." (See Hadith No. 202, Vol. 5)
لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَإِنَّ عُمَرَ مُوثِقِي عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ وَلَوِ انْقَضَّ أُحُدٌ مِمَّا فَعَلْتُمْ بِعُثْمَانَ كَانَ مَحْقُوقًا أَنْ يَنْقَضَّ
