Usman Did Not Accept The Counsel of Imam Ali (asws) Imam Ali (asws) went to Usman and warned him about the horrible consequences of continuing his present policies. Imam Ali (asws) said, “I tell you, for Allah’s sake, let yourself not be a murdered leader of this community. It has been said that a leader of this community will be killed, after which the doors of bloodshed and murder will remain open until the Day of Resurrection.” But Marwan and the Umayyad companions rejected Imam Ali’s advice. After Imam Ali’s departure, Usman ordered people to gather in the mosque. He went to the pulpit and, instead of pacifying the people, he antagonised them further. The result was as Caliph Umar predicted: Usman was killed by insurgents. Unlike Abu Bakr and Umar, who followed Imam Ali’s advice, Usman rejected his warning and suffered the consequences.
