112. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "O 'Uthmân, if Allâh places you in authority over this matter (as the caliph) some day and the hypocrites want to rid you of the garment with which Allâh has clothed you (i.e., the position of caliph), do not take it off." He said that three times. (One of the narrators) Nu'mân said: "I said to 'Aishah: 'What kept you from telling the people that?' She said: 'I was made to forget it.'" (Sahih)
112 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا عُثْمَانُ، إِنْ وَلَّاكَ اللَّهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ يَوْمًا، فَأَرَادَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ أَنْ تَخْلَعَ قَمِيصَكَ الَّذِي قَمَّصَكَ اللَّهُ، فَلَا تَخْلَعْهُ» ، يَقُولُ: ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، قَالَ النُّعْمَانُ: فَقُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ: مَا مَنَعَكِ أَنْ تُعْلِمِي النَّاسَ بِهَذَا؟ قَالَتْ: أُنْسِيتُهُ

a. The Hadith foretells an impending trial or affliction for 'Uthmân ﷺ that happened exactly as was foretold by the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. This is a proof of the veracity of his prophethood. b. It also shows that 'Uthmân ﷺ was the rightful ruler (caliph) of the believers. c. When the ruler of a country is running his administration, it is unlawful to unleash a campaign of distrust and strife, on flimsy grounds, against him unless he is really found guilty of promoting infidelity and unbelief and weakening the foundations of Islam. d. The tradition is explicit on the point that the adversaries of 'Uthmân ﷺ were all hypocrites.
