Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15993

Abu Nadrah narrates: I came to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) during the ten days (perhaps meaning that I came during the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah). He had a room which he had set aside for conversation. A ram was led past him, and he asked the ram's owner: "For how much did you buy this?" He said: "For twelve dirhams." The narrator says: I said: "If I had twelve dirhams, I would have bought a ram with them, offered the sacrifice and fed my family." When I got up from his company, a messenger of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came after me with a purse containing fifty dirhams. I have never seen dirhams with more blessing than those. He gave them to me hoping for reward through it, and I was in need of them.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
