It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Huzail that when the news of the martyrdom of Hazrat Uthman came, Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Today, people have come to the edge of Islam. So many stages are there that they have crossed because of this killing." Ibn Abi Huzail said: "By Allah, these people have deviated from the path of moderation to such an extent that there is such a complexity between them and it that neither will they be able to find its guidance nor will they be able to know it."
