Sayyiduna Abu Ja'far Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I went with the Egyptians to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). When they struck him, I ran away. I reached the mosque and there was a man sitting, wearing a black turban, among ten people. He asked: 'What happened?' I said: 'By Allah, the matter is finished.' He said: 'Woe to you, O people of the latter times!' That man was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)."
