Here is the audio of al-Hajuri trying to explain the issue. Recall that al-Hajuri explicitly stated in his book the following, "And the participation of some of the Sahaabah in the killing of Uthmaan (radiallaahu anhu)..." and in what follows look at how he blatantly tries to say that this means other than what it actually does mean!
In this audio al-Hajuri, following the way of Abu al-Hasan al-Ma'ribee, when he tried to wriggle out of his slander of the Companions, starts to tell his story, saying:
I say: This saying that I say that the Companions participated in the killing of Uthmaan, this occurred becase Ibn Katheer and a group of the people of knowledge mentioned that Muhammad bin Abi Bakr al-Siddeeq (radiallaahu anhu), and specifically this one only, then they mentioned this, and we investigated the issue and found that within (the matter) are (reports) whose chains are not established and we said, it was in the context of the investigation, not that we actually affirm that they participated in the killing of Uthmaan, however in the context of the research, in accordance with what was mentioned by Ibn Katheer in al-Bidaayah wal-Nihaayah and Ibn Sa'd in al-Tabaqaat, then when Shaykh al-Islaam indicated that the chains of narration are not established, we did not say this except upon the (basis of) the apparentness of statements. As for it being said that we speak with this, then never, refuge is from Allaah, the Companions did not participate in the killing of Uthmaan, rather the Khawaarij killed him.
As you will see from further below, al-Hajuri has blatantly lied without any shame, it is as clear as daylight that he has lied. Al-Hajuri's attempts to cover this matter up has been followed up by some of the people of knowledge and students of knowledge, here we will summarize the essential points from what has been written in exposing al-Hajuri the Mubtadi' and Muhdith:
ONE: As for al-Hajuri's claim regarding Ibn Katheer, then Ibn Katheer states about Muhammad bin Abi Bakr's birth and age:Ibn Katheer said (al-Bidaayah 7/353):
محمد بن أبي بكر الصديق ولد في حياة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في حجة الوداع تحت الشجرة عند الحرم وأمه أسماء بنت عميس، ولما احتضر الصديق أوصى أن تغسله فغسلته، ثم لما انقضت عدتها تزوجها علي فنشأ في حجره، فلما صارت إليه الخلافة استنابه على بلاد مصر بعد قيس بن سعد بن عبادة كما قدمنا، فلما كانت هذه السنة بعث معاوية عمرو بن العاص فاستلب منه بلاد مصر وقتل محمد بن أبي بكر كما تقدم، وله من العمر دون الثلاثين، رحمه الله ورضي عنه
And in al-Baa'ith al-Hatheeth (p. 187), Ibn Katheer said:
ولقد عدّوا فيهم محمد بن أبي بكر الصديق وإنما وُلِد عند الشجرة وقت الإحرام بحجة الوداع فلم يدرك من حياته صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا نحواً من مائة يوم ولم يذكروا أنه أُحْضِر عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا رآه
In the above two passages, Ibn Katheer establishes that Muhammad bin Abi Bakr was born during the farewell pilgrimage and that he was present for a hundred days prior to the passing away of the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and that it is not mentioned by (the historians, muhadditheen) that he was brought before or actually met the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam).
TWO: The second issue is that Ibn Katheer himself after mentioning what some of the historians mentioned that Muhammad bin Abi Bakr participated in the killing of Uthmaan (radiallaahu anhu) he actually exonerates Muhammad bin Abi Bakr from this claim. He said in al-Bidaayah (7/185):
ويُروى أن محمد بن أبي بكر طعنه بمشاقص في أذنه حتى دخلت في حلقه والصحيح أن الذي فعل ذلك غيره وأنه استحى ورجع حين قال له عثمان لقد أخذت بلحية كان أبوك يكرمها فتذمم من ذاك وغطى وجهه ورجع وحاجز دونه فلم يفد وكان أمر الله قدراً مقدورا
In the above passage, Ibn Katheer says, that
It is reported that Muhammad bin Abi Bakr stabbed him with a spear in his ear which penetrated his throat. And what is correct is that the one who did this was other than him (Muhammad) and that he became embarassed and returned when Uthmaan said to him, "You have taken hold of a beard which your father used to honour," so he would blame himself regarding that...And in fact a page earlier (7/184), Ibn Katheer said:
قال سيف بن عمر التميمي رحمه الله: عن العيص بن القاسم، عن رجل، عن خنساء مولاة أسامة بن زيد - وكانت تكون مع نائلة بنت الفرافصة امرأة عثمان -: أنها كانت في الدار، ودخل محمد بن أبي بكر وأخذ بلحيته وأهوى بمشاقص معه فيجأ بها في حلقه .فقال: مهلا يا ابن أخي، فوالله لقد أخذت مأخذا ما كان أبوك ليأخذ به، فتركه وانصرف مستحييا نادما، فاستقبله القوم على باب الصفة فردهم طويلا حتى غلبوه فدخلوا، وخرج محمد راجعا.
In which there occurs:
Sayf bin Umar al-Tameemi (rahimahullaah) said: From al-Ayd bin al-Qasim, from a man, from Khansaa', the mawlaah of Usamah bin Zayd - and she was with Naa'ilah bin al-Qaraafisah, the wife of Uthmaan: That she was in the house and Muhammad bin Abi Bakr entered and took hold of his beard and brought a spear that was with him to his (Uthmaan's) throat, so he (Uthmaan) said, "O son of my brother, by Allaah, you have taken a position that you father would not have taken" so he (Muhammad) left him and turned away ashamed and remorseful. Then some people came to him at the doorway so he repelled them for a long while until they overcame him and entered, and Muhammad left (the house) returning back...This establishes that al-Hajuri, after slandering the name of the Companions (with his false accusation), then went on fabricate a lie against Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) claiming that he affirmed this matter when Ibn Katheer said nothing of the sort. It is clear that al-Hajuri affirms false and baseless things, then when he is caught out, he ascribes them spuriously to others as a means of escape from criticism. This is an example of a devious, treacherous individual.
THREE: The context in which al-Hajuri made his claim "... the participation of some of the Sahaabah in the killing of Uthmaan (radiallaahu anhu)...", this was mentioned by al-Hajuri as one in a around twenty mistakes that al-Hajuri says the Companions fell into and through which he was establishing that they are not infallible from error, and he was using this to set the stage to allow his accusation against Uthmaan (radiallaahu anhu) that he made a bid'ah into the deen of Islaam through sanctioning the second aadhaan for Jumu'ah. After mentioning all of these twenty or so examples, al-Hajuri said:
وكل هذه الأدلة التي أشرنا إليها لم نذكر منها شيئا غير صحيح , وهي قليل من كثير من الحالات التي حصلت للصحابة رضوان الله عليهم , وهي برهان جلي أن أفرادهم غير معصومين عن كبار الخطايا وصغارها , سواء في ذلك عثمان رضي الله عنه أو غيره
And all of these evidences which we have pointed to, we have not mentioned anything except that which is saheeh (authentic), and these are just some of many situations which occurred from the Companions (may the pleasure of Allaah be with them), and they are a clear evidence that as individuals they are not infallible from making grave mistakes or minor ones, whether that is regarding Uthmaan (radiallaahu anhu) or other than him.This clearly falsifies the claim of al-Hajuri above that he only mentioned the "apparentness" (whatever that means) "of statements" and not that he actually believes in this. This is a clear falsification and an attempt to conceal his mistake and throw it instead onto Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah), free is Ibn Katheer from the slander of al-Hajuri. This quote also shows that al-Hajuri believed firmly that the Companions participated in the murder of Uthmaan, and that he is a calculated liar who does not feel ashamed of accusing great Scholars like Ibn Katheer of originating the foolish things that arise from himself, from Allaah is the refuge!
Now, there is more to this issue than the above and inshaa'Allaah we may take it up in another installment of this series.
