The caliph gave him permission and when al-Mughayrah approached the Egyptians' camp, they cried out: "O you one-eyed blind man! Go back, you shameless one! Go back, you wicked fellow!" So al-Mughayrah had to return.

'Uthman summoned 'Amr ibn al-'As and said to him: "Go and meet this group and invite them towards the Book of God and we will meet their wishes."

So 'Ali took his promise and his oath upon God's testimony, which were the strongest he could secure, and then departed. When he faced the Egyptians, they cried out: "Go back, 'Ali!"

So they said: "If this is so, we agree." Then some of the chiefs and dignitaries of Egypt accompanied by 'Ali entered Medina and went to 'Uthman's house. They explained their purpose and reproached the caliph.

'Uthman did not refute any of their objections and admitted all of them, and undertook to remedy them. The Egyptian deputies asked him to express it in writing and give it to them for a greater assurance.
