It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah that when Hazrat Uthman ordered him to leave for Madinah, people gathered around him and said to him, "Stay, we will protect you and nothing undesirable will reach you." Hazrat Abdullah replied, "Indeed, soon there will be some matters and tribulations. I do not wish to be the first among those who open them. They have a right of obedience over me." The narrator states that he sent the people back and left according to the order of Hazrat Uthman.
