Hazrat Usman’s (R.A.) martyrdom occurred in 35 AH (656 CE), triggering the First Fitna. The siege lasted 40 days after protests over governance and nepotism accusations. His death while fasting (despite having water) is commemorated annually by some Muslims. The Maqbara al-Shuhada in Medina marks his burial site. This pivotal event led to Hazrat Ali’s (R.A.) caliphate and the Battle of the Camel.
