🔴 Uthman, the Third Caliph, Was Not Quraishi and Had No Arab Lineage

✍️ By: Mostafa Amiri

▪️ Abi al-As, the great-grandfather of Caliph Uthman and son of Umayya, is reported to have been of Roman origin, not Arab. Uthman’s ancestors were Roman slaves from Sepphoris, not Arabs:

📜 "The sons of Abi al-As were foreigners from the people of Sepphoris." (Tabari, Tarikh al-Tabari, Vol. 5, p. 157)

▪️ Banu Umayyah had no Arab ancestry, as Imam Ali emphasized in Nahj al-Balagha:
"The pureborn is not like the outsider who attached himself."

▪️ Some historians, due to Uthman’s status, avoided discussing the lineage of Banu Umayyah:
📜 "If there were no other reason to avoid discussing Banu Umayyah’s lineage except for Uthman’s position, that alone would be enough justification." (Suhaili, Al-Rawd al-Unuf, Vol. 3, p. 65)
