Hadith 555

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلَالُ بْنُ حِقٍّ ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ حَزْنٍ الْقُشَيْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ الدَّارَ يَوْمَ أُصِيبَ عُثْمَانُ ، فَاطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ اطِّلَاعَةً ، فَقَالَ : ادْعُوا لِي صَاحِبَيْكُمْ اللَّذَيْنِ أَلَّبَاكُمْ عَلَيَّ ، فَدُعِيَا لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : نَشَدْتُكُمَا اللَّهَ ، أَتَعْلَمَانِ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ضَاقَ الْمَسْجِدُ بِأَهْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةَ مِنْ خَالِصِ مَالِهِ ، فَيَكُونَ فِيهَا كَالْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ " ، فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْ خَالِصِ مَالِي ، فَجَعَلْتُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَمْنَعُونِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ . (حديث موقوف) (حديث مرفوع) ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَنْشُدُكُمْ اللَّهَ : أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا بِئْرٌ يُسْتَعْذَبُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا رُومَةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهَا مِنْ خَالِصِ مَالِهِ ، فَيَكُونَ دَلْوُهُ فِيهَا كَدُلِيِّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ " ، فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْ خَالِصِ مَالِي ، فَأَنْتُمْ تَمْنَعُونِي أَنْ أَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي صَاحِبُ جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ ؟ قَالُوا : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ .
Thumamah bin Khuzan Qushayri says that on the day Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, I was present there. Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) once looked out from his house and said: "Bring those two companions of yours who have incited you against me." They were called. Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to them: "I ask you by Allah, do you know that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah and the Prophet's Mosque became too small, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Who will buy this piece of land with his own wealth and dedicate it for the Muslims? Its reward will be given to him in the best form in Paradise.' So I bought it purely with my own wealth and dedicated it for the Muslims. Now you stop me from praying two rak'ahs in it?" Then he said: "I ask you by Allah, do you know that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, there was no sweet water well except the well of Rumah? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Who will buy it purely with his own wealth and make his share equal to that of the Muslims? And in the Hereafter, receive the best reward in Paradise?' So I bought it purely with my own wealth and dedicated it. Now you stop me from drinking its water?" Then he said: "Do you know that I was the one who provided the equipment for the expedition of Tabuk?" The people affirmed his statement.
