Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-nass Wel-ijtihad Chapter Three Othman and His Followers Interpretations His kindness to his relatives Othman was kind to his relatives[1] (the family of Abul Aass).[2] He loved them too much and preferred them to the all of the umma until he paid attention neither to the blamers nor to the revolters.

He violated many Quranic verdicts and many holy texts of the sacred Sunna of the Prophet (s) and the traditions that had been followed before him in order to satisfy his relatives. Ibn Abul Hadeed said:[3] The prediction of Umar about Othman turned out to be true. Othman made the Umayyads tread on the necks of people. He entrusted them with the emirate of the different countries and gifted them with the wealth of the Muslims.

At his [1] Othman had violated the legal texts in many occasions for the sake of his relatives. We cannot cover them all in this book. They may not be less than the violations of the two previous caliphs together. [2] The Prophet (s) has said: When the family of al-Aass becomes thirty men, they will distribute the wealth of the Muslims among themselves, make people slaves for them and distort the religion of Allah according to their interests.

It has been mentioned by al-Hakim in his Mustadrak, vol.4 p.480, from Imam Ali (s), Abu Tharr, and Abu Saeed al-Khidri and mentioned by ath-Thahabi in Talkhees al-Mustadrak. The prophetic traditions dispraising the family of al-Aass are true and recurrent. The Prophet (s) has declared the reality of those hypocrite people and he has cursed them (that he who would perish might perish by clear proof, and he who would live might live by clear proof).

Al-Hakim mentioned in his Mustadrk many other traditions which sufficed in this concern. Refer to our book Abu Hurayra, p.118-128. [3] Sharh Nahjol Balagha, vol. 1 p.66. days Armenia was conquered. He took all the khums[1] of its booties and gifted it to Marwan. Ibn Abul Hadeed added: Once Abdullah bin Khalid bin Usayd asked Othman for a present.

He gave him four hundred thousand dirhamshe permitted al-Hakam bin Abul Aass to return to Medina after the Prophet (s) had exiled him from it and Abu Bakr and Umar had refused to let him return. He gave him one hundred thousand dirhams.
