Do Noor Wale Sahabi

Book Name:Do Noor Wale Sahabi

When the beloved Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw this, he gave news from the unseen and said: "By Allah! Before the sun sets, Allah Almighty will send provision to you."

Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ  was also present in the army. When he heard this command of the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he immediately began to make arrangements. He bought 7 camels laden with grain and presented them to the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. When the Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم  saw these camels, joy spread across their faces. On the other hand, the faces of the hypocrites became saddened.

When those 7 camels were presented before the noble Prophet, صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he asked: "What is this? Who gave them?"

It was said: "O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ  has presented this gift to you."

The narrator says: When the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم heard this, I myself saw that he raised his hands for supplication, and raised them so high that they went above his blessed head. Then I heard him make such a supplication for Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ that I had never heard him make for anyone else.[1]

In one narration, it is stated: He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  supplicated: "O Allah Almighty! I am pleased with ꜤUthmān, so be pleased with ꜤUthmān as well".[2]

Sayyidunā Abū SaꜤīd Khudrī رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ  states: I saw the Messenger of Allah          صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, making this supplication for Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ all night, "O Allah Almighty! I am pleased with ꜤUthmān, so be pleased with him as well."[3]

Gaining the Pleasure of Mustafa صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is a Great Virtue

O devotees of the Prophet! Look at the good fortune of Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ! It is an enviable matter that the beloved Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
