Hejaz622-arIn their own words 10
, No one does a good deed but Allah will make it show on him.
If our hearts were truly pure, we would never have our fill of the words of your Lord.
No one conceals something in his heart, but Allah causes it to be seen on his face or in a slip of the tongue.

Uthman ibn Affan was a second cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad, a senior companion present at the faith's founding. In 644, at roughly seventy years old, he was elected caliph by a committee of trustees - the oldest person to hold the position. His reign pushed the Caliphate deep into Persia, reaching Khurasan and Transoxiana in the east and Ifriqiya and Iberia in the west. He centralized administration and oversaw rapid economic expansion. But discontent grew in his final years, hardening into armed revolt. In 656, rebels besieged his residence and killed him inside it. Sunni tradition counts him among the four rightly-guided caliphs.
