Sunan Ibn Majah 112 (Book) #37014
Steadfastness in Authority

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised 'Uthman to remain steadfast in his position as caliph, even if the hypocrites tried to remove him from it.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah said: "O 'Uthman, if Allah places you in authority over this matter (as the caliph) some day and the hypocrites want to rid you of the garment with which Allah has clothed you (ie, the position of caliph), do not take it off". He said that three times. (One of the narrators) Nu'man said: "I said to 'Aishah: 'What kept you from telling the people that?' She said: 'I was made to forget it'."
