By Allah, if you give Marwan one hundred dirhams, it will be too much.

By Allah, if you give Marwan one hundred dirhams, it will be too much.” Othman said: “O Ibn Arqam, throw the keys! We will find other than you.” Ibn Abul Hadeed added: “One day Abu Musa brought him (Othman) great wealth from Iraq (as land taxes) and he distributed it all among the Umayyads.

He married his daughter Aa’isha to al-Harith bin al-Hakam and he gave him one hundred thousand dirhams from the treasury after deposing Zayd bin Arqam from the treasury… “…besides these things he committed many other faults that made the Muslims bear grudge against him…such as exiling Abu Dharr to ar-Rabatha (in the desert), beating Abdullah bin Mas’ood until he broke his ribs, appointing doorkeepers (to prevent people from coming to him), deviating from the way of Umar in executing the penalties, judging among people, punishing the transgressors and in being strict to manage the affairs of the citizens.

“And he ended his bad deeds with his letter to Mo’awiya ordering him to kill a group of the Muslims and then many people of Medina with the people who had come from Egypt revolted against him and killed him; yet they had to depose him from the caliphate and not to hasten in killing him…Ameerul Mo'mineen (Imam Ali) was the most innocent of killing him. He had declared that in many of his speeches.

He said: “By Allah, I have not killed Othman and I have not agreed with the people on killing him.” He had said the truth. Blessing be upon him…” In short, all the transgressions of Othman had been narrated by the narrators and mentioned by the historians and the scholars of Hadith. Many of the scholars had considered them as true and fixed events. Refer to the resources to see the clear truth.

[^5] The speech of Imam ‘Ali (as), called ash-Shaqshaqiyya, suffices in showing the reality of this man he said: “…until the third of people (of the caliphs - Othman) came (become the caliph) struttingly… and his relatives came with him gnawing the wealth of Allah as camels gnawing the grass of spring until his weaving turned over him, his deeds finished him off, his retinue failed him…” His prayer in travel A four rak’a prayer is shortened to two rak’as in travel whether in the case of fear or safety according to the Shari’ah .

The legality of “ taqseer or qasr ” [^6] has been proved by the Qur'an, the Sunna and the consensus of the umma.
