After the body of Uthman had been in the house for three days, Na'ila approached some of his supporters to assist in his burial, but only about a dozen people responded, including [[Marwan I|Marwan]], [[Zayd ibn Thabit]], Huwatib bin Alfarah, [[Jubayr ibn Mut'im]], Abu Jahm bin Hudaifa, Hakim bin Hazam and Niyar bin Mukarram.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.islamicgoodsdirect.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/1427 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928200549/http://www.islamicgoodsdirect.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/1427 |url-status=dead |title=Hazrat Usman |archive-date=28 September 2007}}</ref> The body was lifted at dusk, and because of the blockade, no coffin could be procured. The body was not washed. Thus, Uthman was carried to the graveyard in the clothes that he was wearing at the time of his assassination.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.writerinislam.blogspot.com/2005/11/uthman-ibn-affan-man-with-two-lights.html |title=Uthman ibn Affan - The Man With Two Lights (Part Two) |first=Amatullah |last=A. |date=29 November 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071109144132/http://www.writerinislam.blogspot.com/2005/11/uthman-ibn-affan-man-with-two-lights.html |archive-date=9 November 2007}}</ref>

Na'ila followed the funeral with a lamp, but, in order to maintain secrecy, the lamp had to be extinguished. Na'ila was accompanied by some women, including Uthman's daughter.<ref name="Tabari15">Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, ''Tarikh al-Rasul wa'l-Muluk'', translated by Humphreys, R. S.
