Assassination of Uthman

656 murder of the third Rashidun caliph in Medina

Uthman ibn Affan, the third Rashidun caliph, who ruled from 644 to 656, was assassinated at the end of a siege upon his house in 656. This was initially a protest but escalated into a siege following the death of a protester. The protesters-turned-rebels had demanded a new caliph, which Uthman refused. On 17 June 656 protestors set the house on fire, made their way inside, and killed him.
