Uthman bin Abd al-Rahman narrates from his brother that he said: Your father, Abd al-Rahman bin Uthman, was martyred alongside Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) (in the battle against the Umayyads). Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) gave the order, and he was buried right in the Mosque of the Ka'bah (the Sacred Mosque of Makkah). Then he had horses run over his grave at night so that its trace would be erased (and the enemy could not desecrate his body).
