bayhaqi:11933 – Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan b. Muḥammad b. Ḥalīm al-Marwazī > Abū al-Muwajjih Muḥammad b. ʿAmr al-Fazārī > ʿAbdān b. ʿUthmān from my father > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥman > ʿUthmān Ḥayth Ḥūṣir Ashraf ʿAlayhim

[Machine] I swear by God, and I only swear by the Companions of the Prophet, ﷺ . You know that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Whoever digs the well of Roomah, Paradise is for him." So did I dig it? Don't you know that he also said: "Whoever prepares the army of Usrah, Paradise is for him." So did I prepare them? They believed him in what he said.

البيهقي:١١٩٣٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَلِيمٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو الْمُوَجِّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْفَزَارِيُّ أنبأ عَبْدَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ ؓ حَيْثُ حُوصِرَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ

أَنْشُدُكُمُ اللهَ وَلَا أَنْشُدُ إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَفَرَ بِئْرَ رُومَةَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَحَفَرْتُهَا؟ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ جَهَّزَ جَيْشَ الْعُسْرَةِ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَجَهَّزْتُهُمْ؟ فَصَدَّقُوهُ بِمَا قَالَ

bukhari:2778 – ʿAbdān from my father > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥman > ʿUthmān Ḥayth Ḥūṣir Ashraf ʿAlayhim

When 'Uthman (ra) was circled (by the rebels), he looked upon them from above and said, "Ias you by Allah, I ask nobody but the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, dont you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever will (buy and) dig the well of Ruma will be granted Paradise,' and I (bought and) dug it? Don't you know that he said. 'Whoever equip the army of 'Usra (i.e., Tabuk's Ghazwa) will be granted Paradise,' and I equipped it ?" They attested whatever he said. When 'Umar founded his endowment he said, "Its administrator can eat from it." The management of the endowment can be taken over by the founder himself or any other person, for both cases are permissible.

البخاري:٢٧٧٨ – وَقَالَ عَبْدَانُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ

أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ ؓ حَيْثُ حُوصِرَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكُمْ وَلاَ أَنْشُدُ إِلاَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَفَرَ رُومَةَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَحَفَرْتُهَا أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ جَهَّزَ جَيْشَ الْعُسْرَةِ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَجَهَّزْتُهُمْ قَالَ فَصَدَّقُوهُ بِمَا قَالَ وَقَالَ عُمَرُ فِي وَقْفِهِ لاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ وَلِيَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ وَقَدْ يَلِيهِ الْوَاقِفُ وَغَيْرُهُ فَهْوَ وَاسِعٌ لِكُلٍّ
