| Once Aisha went to Uthman and asked for her share of inheritance of Prophet (after so many years passed from the death of Prophet). Uthman refrained to give Aisha any money by reminding her that she was one those who testified and encouraged Abu-Bakr to refrain to pay the share of inheritance of Fatima. So if Fatima did not have any share of inheritance, then why should she? Aisha became extremely angry at Uthman, and came out saying: “Kill this old fool (Na’thal), for he is unbeliever.”<ref>Ibn Athir, ''History'' vol. 3 p. 206. Also found in Lisan al-Arab, v14, p141; al-Iqd al-Farid, v4, p290; Sharh Ibn Abi al-Hadid, v16, pp 220-223.</ref>

| When the situation became extremely grave, Uthman ordered Marwan ibn al-Hakam and Abdurrahman ibn Attab ibn Usayd to try to persuade Aisha to stop campaigning against him. They went to her while she was preparing to leave for pilgrimage, and they told her: “We pray that you stay in Medina, and that Allah may save this man (Uthman) through you.” Aisha said: “I have prepared my means of transportation and vowed to perform the pilgrimage. By God, I shall not honour your request... I wish he (Uthman) was in one of my sacks so that I could carry him. I would then throw him into the sea.”<ref>Al-Baladhuri, ''Ansab al-Ashraf'' part 1 vol. 4 p. 75.</ref>
