Hadith-e-Ammar: Application Of The Word "The Baaghi Jamat"
Take the example, if a doctor failed to save some patient due to his negligence it is said that the doctor killed him. The reality is that the doctor actually didn’t kill him but caused his death. In the hadith when the prophet said that a rebellious people would kill him, it means that they would cause his death. Since the only rebellious people who deserve this title were the only ones who rebelled against the caliph Usman and killed him. This is the rule stated by Ghamidi saheb that verb is used for cause of action, not the actual action.
