Khalifa of uthman and Ali (ra)

[Ibn_uzair]

Assalamu'alikum wa rahmatullah wa barakat...</p>

This is my firt post on this forum...Insha Allah I'll learn a lot from u..</p>

I have an expose this thursday on the khilafa of uthmaan(ra)..I just dnt know how to abord some sensible points like:</p>

1) The critics that some sahaba made about uthmaan.</p>

What should be our position regarding some sahaba which were with the rebels against uthmaan for eg Muhammad ibn abu bakr who was in the room when the rebels assasinated uthmaan.</p>

These events really confuse me..</p>

What have the scholars says regarding such issues..?</p>

R we allowed to critisized muhammad ibn abu bakr ?</p>

I'm sure some1 will ask such questions when doing my exposé.</p>

If u have any documents analyzing the khalifa of uthman and Ali..send it to me via mail: ibn_uzair@yahoo.co.in. This will be very helpful.</p>

Actually*******I read the book: The glorious caliphate : by Athar Hussein (India). </p>

I really want to know the position of ulama ahlus-sunnah on these issues coz i dnt want to misgiude people..</p>

Jazak Allah khair</p>
