Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ donated a lot more in the path of Allah Almighty than what he actually announced.

The renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه writes under this blessed Hadees: ‘Be mindful of the fact that this was just his announcement. When it was the time to give, he presented 950 camels, 50 horses and 1,000 gold coins. Later on, he presented further 10,000 gold coins.’

Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه further states: ‘Be mindful that he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ announced to present one hundred (100) camels the first time, additional two hundred (200) camels the second time and a further three hundred (300) camels the third time; totalling up to 600 camels.

Let’s now listen to the brief introduction of Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ.

Brief introduction of Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ

The name of Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ is ‘Usman” and his Kunyah is ‘Abu ’Amr’. Following are his famous titles: ٭ Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen ٭ Zun-Noorayn (i.e. possessor of two Noors) ٭ Accomplished in modesty and Iman ٭ Jami’-ul-Quran (i.e. the gatherer of Quran) ٭ Sayyid-ul-Askhiya (i.e. the leader of the generous ones) ٭ Usman-e-Baa ‘Haya. (Karamaat-e-Usman-e-Ghani, pp. 3, 5, 11) Out of all his titles, ‘Zun-Noorayn’ (i.e. possessor of two Noors) is more famous. The famous reason for this title is that he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ married two daughters of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Sayyidatuna Ruqayyah and Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Kulsoom رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُمَا, one after the other. Due to this very reason, he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ is called ‘Zun-Noorayn’ (i.e. possessor of two Noors).
