Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه
(S86)
4 were injured when defending Uthmaan’s رضي الله عنه house. They were: Hasan Ibn Ali, Abdullah Ibn Zubayr, Muhammad Ibn Haatib and Marwaan Ibn Hakam رضي الله عنهم.
Zubayr رضي الله عنه himself offered to defend the house of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه.
Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was martyred whilst reciting the Qur’an, on a Friday, whilst fasting, in Madinah, in the month of Zhul Hijjah.
After martyring Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, the rebels went on a looting spree in Madinah. The guards said: “Save yourselves, these wretches are only after worldly gains”.
~1,000 men were part of the force of rebels who sieged Uthmaan’s رضي الله عنه house. The ring leaders of this rebellious force were now going to be hunted down.
