Musnad Ahmad 555

Translation

✧ I witnessed the house on the day Uthman was struck. He looked out at them once and said: 'Call for me your two companions who incited you against me.' They were called for him, and he said: 'I adjure you both by Allah: do you know that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah, the mosque became too small for its people, and he said: "Who will buy this plot from his pure wealth, so that he may be in it like the Muslims, and he will have something better than it in Paradise?" So I bought it from my pure wealth and made it for the Muslims. And now you prevent me from praying two rak'ahs in it?' Then he said: 'I adjure you by Allah: do you know that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah, there was no well in it from which sweet water could be drawn except Rumah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Who will buy it from his pure wealth, so that his bucket will be in it like the buckets of the Muslims, and he will have something better than it in Paradise?" So I bought it from my pure wealth. And now you prevent me from drinking from it?' Then he said: 'Do you know that I am the one who equipped the army of hardship (Jaysh al-Usrah)?' They said: 'O Allah, yes.'
