It is narrated from Amr bin Hanzalah that when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, we went to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) while people were present there. He said: "By Allah! The oppressors of the tribe of Mudar will not leave any believing servant of Allah without killing him or putting him to trial, until Allah and the believers strike them down so thoroughly that they will not be able to defend even the lower end of a watercourse (or an insignificant place)." A man said: "You say this even though you yourself are one of Mudar?" He replied: "I say only what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
