Some researchers have suggested that the | Some researchers have suggested that the mosque was named after Uthman ibn Affan because mosques bearing the names of the four early caliphs were established in the area of the [[Musalla of the Prophet|Musalla]]. According to this interpretation, the name was intended to complete the group of mosques associated with the four caliphs.
