When Amir al-mu'minin learnt that the Umayyads blamed him for killing `Uthman, he said:

Pearl of Wisdom

in his will to his son after he had been struck by Ibn Muljam, 'Know that Mu'awiya will oppose you just as he opposed me, and in conciliating and making peace with him, you will be following in the footsteps of your grandfather (AS) when he conciliated with the Bani Qamra and the Bani Ashja' tribes ... and if instead you wish to fight your enemy, know that you will not find any from among your followers who will be loyal to you anymore than those loyal to your father.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Nahjal-Sa'dda, v. 2, p. 742

Sermon 74 When Amir al-mu'minin learnt that the Umayyads blamed him for killing `Uthman, he said:

Umayyads's knowledge about me did not desist them from accusing me, nor did my precedence (in accepting Islam) keep off these ignorant people from blaming me. Allah's admonitions are more eloquent than my tongue. I am the contester against those who break away from Faith and the opposer of those who entertain doubts. Uncertainties should be placed before Qur'an, the Book of Allah (for clarification). Certainly, people will be recompensed according to what they have in their hearts.
