Rabi’ bin Hirash says: During the days when people rebelled against Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and set out towards him, I went to the service of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madain during those very nights. He said to me: "Rabi’! What has your people done?" I said: "Which of their actions are you asking about?" He said: "Who are the people that have gone towards Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)?" So I mentioned the names of some of those who had gone. He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever separates from the congregation of Muslims and tries to disgrace the leadership and government, he will meet Allah in such a state that he will have no honor in the sight of Allah."
