He regarded three Talaaqs (divorces) in one sitting to be three. When a person issued a thousand Talaaqs at once, Hadhrat Uthmaan (RA) said that the woman is separated with three Talaaqs. [Fat'hul Qadeer Vol.3 Pg.330, Zaadul Ma'aad Vol.2 Pg.259].

Although there was a period of discord between Hadhrat Uthmaan (RA) and Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Mas'ood (RA), the two were eventually reconciled. A testimony to this reconciliation was when Hadhrat Uthmaan (RA) led the Janaazah (funeral) salaah when Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Mas'ood (RA) passed away.

Hadhrat Uthmaan (RA) was opposed to liberal thinking and believed that the Muslims owed their prosperity to the fact that they followed in the footsteps of their predecessors. He once mentioned, "You people have achieved what you have because of emulation. Never let the world sway you from your affairs." [Tareekh Ibn Jareer, Vol.5 Pg.45]

When he was appointed as the Khaleefa, an undertaking was taken from him that he would strictly follow Hadhrat Abu Bakr (RA) and Hadhrat Umar (RA) and would not change what they implemented. When Hadhrat Ali (RA) became Khaleefa after Hadhrat Uthmaan (RA), he also did not change anything that his predecessors had implemented. These illustrious personalities saw nothing wrong in emulating the ways of their predecessors.

Haafidh Ibn Hazam (A.R) writes, "Thereafter Hadhrat Ali (RA) assumed the post of Khilaafah. He neither altered a single law implemented by Hadhrat Abu Bakr (RA) Hadhrat Umar (RA) or Hadhrat Uthmaan (RA), nor did he annul any of the pacts they made." [Al-Fasl, Vol.4 Pg.97] Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Umar (RA) stated that Hadhrat Uthmaan (RA) had never committed any major sin as far as they knew. [Kitaabut Tamheed wal Bayaa, Pg. 184/5 - Beirut print]
