ذِكْرُ نَفَقَةِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فِي جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ
"When 'Uthman was besieged, he looked out over them from atop his house and said: 'I remind you by Allah. Do you know that when (mount) Hira shook, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Be firm O Hira! For there is none upon you except a Prophet, a Siddiq, and a martyr?"' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I remind you by Allah! Do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, about the army of distress (Al-'Usrah): "Who will spend something which shall be accepted (by Allah)?" And the people were struggling during difficult times, so I prepared that army?' They said: 'Yes.' Then he said: 'I remind you by Allah. Do you know that no one drank from the well of Rumah but have to pay for it, then I bought it and made it for the rich, the poor, and the wayfarer?' They said: 'O Allah! Yes!'" And he listed other things. This Hadith is Hasan Sahih Gharib from this route; as a narration of Abu 'Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami from 'Uthman. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3699)
لَمَّا حُصِرَ عُثْمَانُ وَأُحِيطَ بِدَارِهِ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ انْتَفَضَ بِنَا حِرَاءُ قَالَ «اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَمَا عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ» قَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ قَالَ نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ «مَنْ يُنْفِقْ نَفَقَةً مُتَقَبَّلَةً»؟ وَالنَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُعْسِرُونَ مُجْهَدُونَ فَجَهَّزْتُ ثُلُثَ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ مِنْ مَالِي فَقَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رُومَةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُشْرَبُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا بِثَمَنٍ فَابْتَعْتُهَا بِمَالِي فَجَعَلْتُهَا لِلْغَنِيِّ وَالْفَقِيرِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ؟ فَقَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ فِي أَشْيَاءَ عَدَّدَهَا
