countless dates away in charity but they did not finish. This continued until the day that Sayyiduna Usman al-Ghani رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ was martyred and the pouch was cut and fell from his back during the commotion and tumult, which he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ felt grief and anguish over for the rest of his life. (Tirmizi, vol. 5, p. 454, Hadith. 3865)

In relation to this day, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ would recite the following couplets: The people have one woe whilst I have two; one on account of losing my pouch, and the second is the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Usman al-Ghani رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ. (Mirqat-ul-Mafatih, vol. 10, p. 270, under Hadith5933)

He wept upon seeing the bread

As the victories of Islam increased and prosperity and wealth spread among the Muslims, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ also received a large portion form this. As his wealth, blessings and amenities increased, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ had a house built for himself and fulfilled the Sunnah of Nikah, and even had children. However, even after receiving all of this, it neither changed his nature and personality nor did it remove memories of the days gone by from his heart. Hence, when some very thin pieces of bread were once brought in front of him, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ saw them and began to weep, so someone asked the reason for this, to which he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ replied, ‘My Beloved Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never saw this with his own eyes.’ (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 4, p. 43, Hadith. 3338)

Refusing to eat roasted goat

He رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ once passed by a group of people who had a roasted goat before them to eat. The people invited him to eat but he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ refused and said, ‘The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم left this world yet he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never ate his fill of barley bread.’ (Bukhari, vol. 3, p. 532, Hadith. 5414)
