حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ : لَمَّا حُصِرَ عُثْمَانُ أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَوْقَ دَارِهِ , ثُمَّ قَالَ : أُذَكِّرُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ حِرَاءَ حِينَ انْتَفَضَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ , أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ , أَوْ شَهِيدٌ " ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أُذَكِّرُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ : " مَنْ يُنْفِقُ نَفَقَةً مُتَقَبَّلَةً وَالنَّاسُ مُجْهَدُونَ مُعْسِرُونَ فَجَهَّزْتُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشَ " ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أُذَكِّرُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ بِئْرَ رُومَةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا بِثَمَنٍ فَابْتَعْتُهَا , فَجَعَلْتُهَا لِلْغَنِيِّ , وَالْفَقِيرِ , وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ، قَالُوا : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ، وَأَشْيَاءَ عَدَّدَهَا . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ .
´Narrated Abu 'Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami:` "When 'Uthman was besieged, he looked out over them from atop his house and said: 'I remind you by Allah. Do you know that when (mount) Hira shook, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Be firm O Hira! For there is none upon you except a Prophet, a Siddiq, and a martyr?"' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I remind you by Allah! Do you know that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, about the army of distress (Al-'Usrah): "Who will spend something which shall be accepted (by Allah)?" And the people were struggling during difficult times, so I prepared that army?' They said: 'Yes.' Then he said: 'I remind you by Allah. Do you know that no one drank from the well of Rumah but have to pay for it, then I bought it and made it for the rich, the poor, and the wayfarer?' They said: 'O Allah! Yes!'" And he listed other things. This Hadith is Hasan Sahih Gharib from this route; as a narration of Abu 'Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami from 'Uthman.

(1) The purpose of presenting these evidences by Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) was not any pride, ostentation, or seeking praise, but rather, at this delicate moment, he wanted to firmly establish that he was upon the truth and the rebels were upon falsehood. In this regard, the statements of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) are clear. However, these had no effect on the rebels because inwardly they were enemies of Islam and wanted to bring an end to the caliphate.
(2) Striking his foot upon the mountain and addressing it was an expression of his miraculous status from Allah Ta’ala, the real purpose of which was to inform those individuals of their virtues and merits, and also to make a public declaration before the world. And Allah knows best.
(3) “Bay‘at al-Ridwan” is that pledge through which those who pledged allegiance attained the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala, and its announcement was formally made in the Noble Qur’an. This incident occurred during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah when the rumor of the martyrdom of Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) spread.
(4) “This is the hand of Allah and this is Uthman’s.” Since Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) was not present at the time, and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not know that Uthman was alive, he placed one of his own hands over the other, considering one as the hand of Allah Ta’ala, because this pledge was being taken by the command of Allah Ta’ala. It is also mentioned in the Noble Qur’an: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّهَ يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ﴾ (al-Fath 48:10). In this, the greatness and status of Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is clearly manifested.
(5) “Half the army”—that is, in the preparation of this army, his contribution was very significant, the details of which are not mentioned.
