Othmân ibn Affân citations

Othman ibn Affan , également connu en français comme Osman, né en 574 et mort en 656, est le beau-fils et un éminent compagnon de Mahomet, prophète de l'islam, ainsi que le troisième calife bien guidé. Né dans un clan mecquois de premier plan, les Omeyyades de la tribu des Quraych, il joue un rôle majeur dans l’histoire de l'islam et est connu pour avoir commandé la compilation du Coran dans sa forme canonique. À la mort du calife Omar ibn al-Khattâb, âgé de 59 ou 60 ans, Othman, âgé de 69 ou 70 ans, lui succède, étant ainsi le deuxième plus âgé à gouverner comme calife.

Othman était marié à Ruqayyah et il épousa aussi Oumm Koulthoum. Ses deux épouses, filles de Mahomet et de Khadija , lui valurent le titre honorifique Dhū al-Nurayn . Par conséquent, il était également le beau-frère du quatrième calife bien-guidé Ali dont la femme Fatima était la plus jeune sœur de ses épouses.

Sous le califat d'Othman, l'empire islamique annexa l'Istakhr en 645 et certaines zones du Khorassan en 651. La conquête de l'Arménie, entamée dans les années 640, fut quant à elle parachevée. Son règne a néanmoins été marqué par de nombreuses manifestations et troubles qui débouchèrent sur un siège de 49 jours à l'issue duquel Othman fut assassiné, jetant ainsi les prémices de la première fitna.

“I have been given a responsibility and I have accepted it. Verily I am a follower (of the Sunnah and not an innovator. I promise you that in addition to following the Book of Allah (Quran) and the Sunnah of His Prophet (Muhammad), I will do three other things: following the example of those who came before me with regard to what you have agreed upon and decided, and what is decided by good people openly, and not interfering with you except when a hadd punishment is required. This world is tempting and it makes itself attractive to people, so that many people, so that many people are inclined towards it. Do not be content with this world and do not put your trust in it, for it is not trustworthy. Understand that these wordly temptations will not go away unless you ignore them.”

“Everything has something to undermine it, and every blessing has something to diminish it. The thing that undermines this religion and diminishes this blessing is those who criticize a great deal and those who stab in the back; they show you what you want to see and they conceal that which you dislike. They are wicked like ostiches.”

Farai'd al-Kalam li'l-Khulafa' al-Kiram, p. 269

“Allah has commanded rulers to be shepherds; He did not command them to be money-collectors. The attitude of the earliest leaders of this Ummah was that of shepherds, not money-collectors. Soon you will find your leaders becoming money-collectors, not shepherds. Once that happens, there will be no more modesty, trustworthiness or honesty. The best way of running the people's affairs is to examine the Muslims' situation, find out what their dues are and give them to them, and take from them what is due from them. Then go to ahl al-dhimmah and give them what is due to them and take from them what is due from them. Then confront the enemy and seek to defeat them by means of sincerity.”
