How Uthman (RA) Became 3rd Caliph – Did Ali Refuse Bay’ah?

Detailed refutation of claims: Hazrat Umar (RA) formed a 6-member Shura of top Ṣaḥābah. Abdur Rahman bin Auf (RA) consulted all of Madinah – overwhelming majority wanted Uthman (RA).

Authentic evidence proves full unity & Ali’s open-hearted acceptance.
