[Machine] This statement is incorrect, and I believe its owner either did not know the time in which Uthman was killed, or did not accurately calculate it. This is because there is no dispute among all the people of knowledge that Uthman was killed in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah in the year thirty-five after the Hijrah. A group of them said he was killed on the twelfth night remaining from that month. If Uthman's killing happened in Dhu al-Hijjah and Hudhayfah lived for forty nights after him, then that refers to the year after it.  

هَذَا الْقَوْلَ خَطَأٌ وَأَظُنُّ لِصَاحِبِهِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ الْوَقْتَ الَّذِي قُتِلَ فِيهِ عُثْمَانُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَمْ يُحْسِنْ أَنْ يَحْسِبَ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَا خِلَافَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ السِّيَرِ كُلِّهِمْ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ قُتِلَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ مِنْ سَنَةِ خَمْسٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَقَالَتْ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْهُمْ قُتِلَ لِاثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً بَقِيَتْ مِنْهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ مَقْتَلُ عُثْمَانَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَعَاشَ حُذَيْفَةُ بَعْدَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فَذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا
