Sirat Ibn Hisham 1480
The Messenger's urging to spend and the affair of ʿUthmān in that regard
[ حَثُّ الرَّسُولِ عَلَى النَّفَقَةِ وَشَأْنُ عُثْمَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ في غزوة تبوك ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ إنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَدَّ فِي سَفَرِهِ، وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِالْجِهَازِ وَالِانْكِمَاشِ، وَجَضَّ أَهْلَ الْغِنَى عَلَى النَّفَقَةِ وَالْحُمْلَانِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَحَمَلَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْغِنَى وَاحْتَسَبُوا، وَأَنْفَقَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ فِي ذَلِكَ نَفَقَةً عَظِيمَةً، لَمْ يُنْفِقْ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَهَا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ أَثِقُ بِهِ: أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ أَنْفَقَ فِي جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: اللَّهُمَّ ارْضَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ، فَإِنِّي عَنْهُ رَاضٍ
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ set out on his journey with determination, and he commanded the people to equip themselves and to hasten. He urged the wealthy to spend and to provide mounts in the way of God. So men from among the wealthy provided mounts and sought reward, and ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān spent on that an enormous sum, which no one else matched. Ibn Hishām said: One whom I trust related to me that ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān spent on the army of hardship in the expedition of Tabūk one thousand dinars. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "O God, be pleased with ʿUthmān, for I am pleased with him."
