The Companion Who Bought Paradise
The Companion رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ who bought Paradise
Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna ꜤUthmān b. ꜤAffān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ is certainly promised Paradise. In relation to this, he has the unique virtue of having purchased Paradise from the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم multiple times. Let us listen to some occasions upon which this took place.
The grandson of Sayyiduna ꜤUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb; Sālim b. ꜤAbdullāh رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُما relates:
Once, a need arose to expand Masjid al-Ḥarām and a nearby house had to be purchased.
The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to the homeowner, “Give this home away for the expansion of Masjid al-Ḥarām. I guarantee you a home in Paradise.”
Perhaps this man did not realise the eminence of this guarantee and thus did not agree to sell it. When news of this reached ꜤUthmān b. ꜤAffān رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ, he rushed to visit the homeowner.
ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ encouraged him to accept this offer, until he finally purchased the house from him for 10,000 dinars. He then came to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and said, “O Messenger of Allah! News has reached me that you wish to include so-and-so’s home inside Masjid al- Ḥarām, upon which you guaranteed them a home in Paradise. That home is now mine. Do you give me the same guarantee you give him? The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, “Yes, you have the same guarantee.”
Hearing this, ꜤUthmān b. ꜤAffān رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ gave that house as an endowment for Masjid al-Ḥarām.[1]
