Due to Imam Ali's (a) influence among the rebels, Uthman asked him several times for help. In the beginning of the revolt, Uthman asked the Imam (a) to mediate between him and the rebels. Also, when his house was besieged, he asked Imam Ali (a) for help. In response, the Imam (a) tasked his son [[al-Hasan (a)]] to guard Uthman's house, and al-Hasan (a) got injured while fulfilling this task. When the rebels blocked the passage of water and food to Uthman's house, he asked some Companions including [[Imam Ali (a)]] for help. | Due to Imam Ali's (a) influence among the rebels, Uthman asked him several times for help.

On the side of the rebels, although they did not obey Imam Ali (a) all the time, they accepted the Imam's mediation at the beginning. The Imam (a) rebuked the rebels vehemently when they blocked the passage of water and food to Uthman's house, and said that their action was far from the actions of believers and that even non-believers would not do such a thing. | On the side of the rebels, although they did not obey Imam Ali (a) all the time, they accepted the Imam's mediation at the beginning.
