Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S16) During the fitnah in Uthmaan’s رضي الله عنه khilafat, our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) went to perform Hajj to leave the chaos. Our mother Umm Habeeba رضي الله عنها being from the same tribe as Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, wanted to help him. She went on her mule to supply some water, however she was stopped by the rebels - they struck her mule and it bolted. Our mother رضي الله عنها was almost killed. These rebels had the audacity to attack their mother… Aisha رضي الله عنها left Madinah to help ease the situation - she called for her brother, Muhammad رضي الله عنه to come with her, but he refused. Aisha رضي الله عنها said: “If the entire Earth was filled with these rebels, Uthmaan’s رضي الله عنه finger would be greater!”. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم met with our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) at Makkah - plans were taking place for the vengeance of Uthmaan’s assassination. Hafsah رضي الله عنها wanted to go to Busra, however her brother, Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم intervened and she did not proceed.
