[Machine] "We gathered at the house of Makhrama after Uthman was killed. We wanted to take the pledge of allegiance. Abu Jahl bin Hudhaifa said, 'If anyone of you pledges allegiance to us, we will not prevent him from getting revenge.' Ammar bin Yasir said, 'But if it is for the blood of Uthman, then no.' Abu Jahl replied, 'By Allah, O Ibn Sumayyah, we will surely strap him with lashes that have been inflicted on you before, but we will not seek revenge for the blood of Uthman.' So, they left that day without the pledge of allegiance."
