if we approach the first civil war in islam with the idea that no blame shall be placed on any companion of the prophet for wrongdoing, that none of them are bad and all are good, then how do we make sense of the murder of hazrat usman? because murder is bad. isn't it?
i've read the works of other sunnis who are much more knowledgable then i. but i have to try for myself. if i want to understand what happened.
we know muhammad ibn abubakr was one of those who broke into the house armed with intent to kill, but apparently backed out at the last second. we know the rebel mob elected hazrat ali after the murder. muhammad ibn abubakr was very close to hazrat ali. and several of the rebel leaders became his generals after hazrat ali moved the capitol to kufa in iraq.
