180 Subchapter: Permissibility for the endower to drink from the water of endowed wells
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2493 — 180 Subchapter: Permissibility
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ يَعْنِي عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ ، هَلْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ رُومَةَ مِنْ مَالِي يُسْتَعْذَبُ مِنْهَا ، وَجَعَلْتُ رِشَايَ فِيهَا كَرِشَايِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ؟ " فَقَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " فَعَلامَ تَمْنَعُونِي أَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا حَتَّى أُفْطِرَ عَلَى مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ ؟ "
Abu Saeed, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Abu Usaid Ansari, narrates that (during the siege) Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) looked out and said: "I ask you by Allah, do you know that I bought the sweet-water well of Rumah with my own wealth? And I made my bucket like that of an ordinary Muslim (I dedicated it for everyone)." The people said, "Yes." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Then why do you prevent me from drinking the sweet water of this well, to the extent that I am forced to break my fast with the salty water of the sea?"
