[Machine] Some of the people said: "Now he claims that you betrayed 'Uthman." He replied: "That is what he says." They told the man to respond to him, so he said: "Did you not understand what I said?" He said: "Yes, I asked you if 'Uthman witnessed the pledge of Ridwan, and you said no. I also asked you if he participated in the Battle of Badr, and you said no. I asked you if he was amongst those whom Satan deceived, and you said yes." He said: "As for the pledge of Ridwan, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and said, 'Indeed, 'Uthman went forth for the sake of Allah and for the sake of His Messenger's need.' He struck him with an arrow that did not harm anyone else. As for those who turned away on the Day the two armies met, it was only Satan who made them slip because of [some of] what they had earned. But Allah has already forgiven them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing."
لَهُ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ إِنَّ هَذَا يَزْعُمُ الْآنَ أَنَّكَ وَقَعْتَ فِي عُثْمَانَ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلَ فَقَالَ عَقَلْتَ مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ شَهِدَ عُثْمَانُ بَيْعَةَ الرِّضْوَانِ؟ قُلْتَ لَا وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ كَانَ مِمَّنِ اسْتَزَلَّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ؟ فَقُلْتَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَمَّا بَيْعَةُ الرِّضْوَانِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ انْطَلَقَ فِي حَاجَةِ اللَّهِ وَحَاجَةِ رَسُولِهِ» فَضَرَبَ لَهُ بِسَهْمٍ وَلَمْ يَضْرِبْ لِأَحَدٍ غَابَ غَيْرَهُ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ إِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسَبُوا وَلَقَدْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ
