Musnad Ahmad 511

Translation

✧ We set out as pilgrims and passed by Madinah. While we were in our lodging, a man came to us and said: “The people are in a state of alarm in the mosque.” So I and my companion went and found the people gathered around a group in the mosque. He said: I made my way through them until I stood over them, and there were Ali b. Abi Talib, al-Zubayr, Talha, and Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas. He said: No sooner had that happened than Uthman came walking and said: “Is Ali here?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “Is al-Zubayr here?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “Is Talha here?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “Is Sa'd here?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “I adjure you by Allah, besides whom there is no god, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever buys the mirbad of Banu So-and-so, Allah will forgive him,’ so I bought it, then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: ‘I have bought it,’ and he said: ‘Make it part of our mosque, and its reward is yours’?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “I adjure you by Allah, besides whom there is no god, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever buys the well of Ruma,’ so I bought it for such-and-such, then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: ‘I have bought it,’ meaning the well of Ruma, and he said: ‘Make it a drinking place for the Muslims, and its reward is yours’?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “I adjure you by Allah, besides whom there is no god, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the faces of the people on the day of the army of hardship and said: ‘Whoever equips these men, Allah will forgive him,’ so I equipped them until they lacked neither a halter nor a rope’?” They said: “O Allah, yes.” He said: “O Allah, bear witness; O Allah, bear witness; O Allah, bear witness.” Then he departed.
