Dear Islamic brothers! Today, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه we will be privileged to listen to some faith-enlightening parables of the blessed Seerah of the third Caliph, Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ. Let’s first listen to a faith-enlightening parable.

Generosity of Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ

Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman Bin Khabbaab رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that I was present in the court of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was persuading the blessed companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ to prepare for ‘Jaysh-e-Usrat’, i.e. the battle of Tabook. Sayyiduna Usman Bin ‘Affaan رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ got up and humbly said: ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Along with the packsaddle and other relevant provisions, hundred camels are upon me.”

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم persuaded the blessed companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ again. Upon this, Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ stood up again and humbly said: ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I take the responsibility of presenting two hundred camels along with all the provisions.”

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم persuaded the blessed companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ again. Upon this, Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ humbly said: ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I accept the responsibility of three hundred camels along with provisions.” 

The narrator narrates: ‘I saw that listening to this, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came down the pulpit and said the following two times: ‘No matter what Usman رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ does from today, there is no accountability for him.’

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                                                     صَلَّی اللّٰہُ عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Some people normally, looking at others, do get their names written down to donate charity, but when it comes to give the donation, then it becomes difficult for them. To the extent that some don’t even give. However, may our lives be sacrificed! Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen,
