4502. It was narrated that Abū Umāmah bin Saḥl said: "We were with 'Uthmān when he was besieged in the house. In the house there was an entrance, where whoever entered it, he could hear the words of those who were in Al-Balāt. 'Uthmān entered it, then he came out to us, and his color had changed. He said: 'They were threatening to kill me just now.' We said: 'Allāh will suffice you against them, O Commander of the Believers.' He said: 'Why would they kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim except in three cases: Kufr after accepting Islam, Zinā after getting married, or murder." By Allāh, I did not commit Zinā during Jāhiliyyah nor during Islam, nor would I like to have another religion (instead of Islam) since Allāh guided me, and I have not killed anyone, so why would they kill me?"'" (Saḥīḥ)
Abū Dāwud said: 'Uthmān and Abū Bakr (may Allāh be pleased with them) both gave up Khamr during Jāhiliyyah.
