✧ We set out as pilgrims and arrived in Madinah intending to perform Hajj. While we were in our lodgings putting down our saddles, someone came to us and said, “The people have gathered in the mosque and are alarmed.” So we went, and there were people gathered around a small group in the middle of the mosque, and they were Ali, Talhah, al-Zubayr, and Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas. While we were like that, Uthman came wearing a yellow cloak with which he had covered his head. He said, “Is Ali here? Is Talhah here? Is al-Zubayr here? 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 pen of Banu So-and-so, Allah will forgive him,’ so I bought it for twenty thousand or twenty-five thousand, then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him, and he said, ‘Put it in our mosque, and its reward is for you’?” They said, “O Allah, 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 Rumah, Allah will forgive him,’ so I bought it for such and such, then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, ‘I have bought it for such and such,’ and he said, ‘Make it a drinking place for the Muslims, and its reward is for you’?” They said, “O Allah, 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 and said, ‘Whoever equips these people, Allah will forgive him,’ meaning the army of hardship, so I equipped them until they did not lack a hobble or a nose rope?” They said, “O Allah, yes.” He said, “O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness.”
