Hadith 6077
`A'isha reported the Prophet as saying, "Perhaps God will clothe you with a shirt, `Uthman, and if the people want you to take it off, do not take it off for them[*]." *Mirqat, 5:558, interprets this as referring to the Caliphate which he is told not to resign even though the people should wish him to abdicate. Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying the tradition contains a long story.
