Warash, Uthman's servant

Warash, servant of Uthman, whom al-Mas'udi mentions in the report of the siege of Uthman ².

al-Mas'udi reports that some of those returning from the army of the people of Egypt confronted him at Hasma, while he was riding a camel coming from Medina. They asked him, and he showed a letter to Ibn Abi Sarh, governor of Egypt. In it there was an order to cut off the hand of such a man and to kill such a man, and it listed more than those in the army ².

al-Mas'udi reports that the people learned that the letter was in Marwan's hand, so they returned and besieged Uthman ².

This is al-Mas'udi's report, and it needs an additional source.
