[Machine] When the emigrants arrived in the city, they disliked the water. There was a man from the Banu Ghifar tribe who had a spring called Ruma. He used to sell water from it in exchange for a measure of dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Sell it to me for an eye in Paradise." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I and my family have nothing else besides it. I cannot give it up." Uthman then heard about it and he bought it from him for thirty-five thousand dirhams. Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, will you make for me what you made for him an eye in Paradise if I buy it?" He said, "Yes." He said, "I have bought it and made it for the Muslims."
