Crossword-Solution: OTHMAN 6 letters, 4 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 11

Two years after the death of Mahomet, the sacred volume was collected and published by his friend and successor Abubeker: the work was revised by the caliph Othman, in the thirtieth year of the Hegira; and the various editions of the Koran assert the same miraculous privilege of a uniform and incorruptible text.

Their desertion enhanced the merit of Abubeker, Othman, and the faithful companions who devoted their lives and fortunes; and Mahomet displayed his banner at the head of ten thousand horse and twenty thousand foot.

They respect the memory of Abubeker, Omar, Othman, and Ali, the holy and legitimate successors of the prophet.

The feeble temper and declining age of Othman were incapable of sustaining the weight of conquest and empire.

Forsaken by those who had abused his simplicity, the hopeless and venerable caliph expected the approach of death: the brother of Ayesha marched at the head of the assassins; and Othman, with the Koran in his lap, was pierced with a multitude of wounds.
