The Companion Who Bought Paradise

The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then drank from the well’s water, and explained, “There shall be many springs with sweet water in this valley, and Biˈr al-Muzanī (the well of Rūmah) shall be the sweetest.”^{^[1]}

Dear Islamic brothers! This narration highlights the generosity of Islam’s third Caliph, Sayyiduna ꜤUthmān b. ꜤAffān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ. He was very benevolent to his Muslim brothers. When they were in need, he bought an entire well and allowed them to take water from it freely.

For the sake of Sayyiduna ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ, may Allah Almighty make us those who care for one another, feed the poor, give water to the thirsty, arrange for water to be sent to areas where there is a lack of it, help the needy, support those drowning in sadness, and give hope to the hopeless.

In short, we may become those that help and benefit other Muslims and desire good for them.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
