3rd caliph H. Usman ra was son in Law of prophet Muhammad saw .
He was the third Caliph after Muhammad's death, and was killed by the Umayyads.
The third Rightful Caliph of Islam Hazrat Usman (May Allah Karim be pleased with him) married two daughters of The beloved Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him). Their names are: Hazrat Kasoom (RAU), and Hazrat Ruqyya (RAU).
The rebels assaisinated him while he was reciting the holy Qur'an. He was about 80 years at that time. He was the third Rightful Caliph.
The first four Caliphs are all informed by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that they are promised by God to among ten prophet Muhammad companions who to be accepted the God Paradise in their 2nd life. Also, the four have close relations to prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) married the daughter of each of the first two Caliphs. The third Caliph married the daughter of prophet Muhammad and when this daughter died he married the other daughter. The fourth prophet married Fatima (may God be pleased with her) the youngest daughter of the prophet.
The third Caliph Uthman Ibn Affan.
No daughter of the holy Prophet (SAW) became the wife of two Khalifas, rather two daughters (Hazrat Ruqqayya and Hazrat Kalsoom) of the holy Prophet (SAW) became the wife (one after another) of third Rashidoon Caliph Hazrat Usman Ghani rau.

No. Islam didn't split into two groups at the death of the Prophet SAW. It split into two political groups when the rebels mercilessly martyred the third Rightful Caliph Hazrat Usman RAU. The religious division came much later.
After the death of the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (SAW), the Muslims carried the message of Islam to different parts of the world. During the reign of The Second Rightful caliph, Hazrat Omar (RAU), the Muslims conquered almost one-third of the world and succeeded in establishing the Muslim Empire.
Madinah was the first city in which the proper Islamic state was developed. It was the city where Prophet Muhammad was able to demonstrate the laws of Islam in full. Moreover, Madinah today contains the tomb of Prophet Muhammad and also the third most sacred mosque in Islam. Correction - the SECOND most sacred. First is the Kaaba in Mecca, second the prophet's mosque in Madinah, and third the Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
He was not killed by a single person. he was killed by a large group of Muslims together. after some times of starting his power he became a coppupted King. he took his relatives in governmental positions and he was eating too much and... so people hated him and finally killed him toghether. then people asked Imam Ali a.s. to get power so Talha and Zubair and Aisha who wished to get power accused Ali a.s. for killing of Uthman to use this as an excuse to fight Ali a.s. and get power. so they made the Camel war against Ali a.s.
The practice of this originates back to the Safavid Dynasty in Iran. The conqueror Isma'il I, who proclaimed Shi'ism as the state religion, was very anti-Sunni. Iran, a Sunni majority at the time, was forced to convert to Shi'ism by Ismail I. To do this, one thing he imposed was the practice of cursing the first three Khalifas, Abu Bakr, Othman, and Omar, as a way of strengthening Shi'ism in his empire. The Safavid Dynasty became the origin of modern Shi'ism, and the cause of its spread "by the sword," or by violence. Thus, many Shi'as today still partake in these practices, regardless of the fact the Khalifas were highly trusted companions of the Prophet Muhammad (S).
