Martyrdom & Subsequent Events

Hazrat Musleh-e-Maud (ra) has also written briefly about his martyrdom and the subsequent events. Hazrat Musleh-e-Maud (ra) writes:

“Medina fell into the hands of these very people [i.e. the rebels]. Furthermore, the acts of these individuals during those days were extremely shocking. They had already martyred Hazrat Uthman (ra), but they even objected to the burial of his body, as a result of which he could not be buried for three days. Eventually, a group of companions took the courage and buried him in the night. Those individuals [i.e. the rebels] hindered their path as well. However, some people threatened to attack them fiercely owing to which they backed off.”
