حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدُوسِ بْنِ كَامِلٍ السِّرَاجُ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَزَّارُ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ قَالَا ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ثنا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ يَعْنِي عَبْدَ الْأَعْلَى بْنَ أَبِي الْمُسَاوِرِ الْجِرَارِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بِشْرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ اسْتَنْكَرُوا الْمَاءَ وَكَانَتْ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ عَيْنٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا رُومَةٌ وَكَانَ يَبِيعُ مِنْهَا الْقِرْبَةَ بِمُدٍّ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «بِعْنِيها بِعَيْنٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ لِي وَلَا لِعِيَالي غَيْرُهَا لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُثْمَانَ ؓ فَاشْتَرَاهَا بِخَمْسَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَجْعَلُ لِي مِثْلَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ له عَيْنًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِنِ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ قَدِ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا وَجَعَلْتُهَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ

✧ When the Muhājirūn arrived in Madinah, they found the water unpleasant. A man from Banū Ghifār had a spring called Rūmah, and he would sell a waterskin of it for a mudd. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to him: "Sell it to me for a spring in Paradise." He said: "O Messenger of God, I have nothing besides it for myself and my dependents; I cannot do that." This reached ʿUthmān ؓ, so he bought it for thirty-five thousand dirhams. Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of God, will you give me the like of what you gave him—a spring in Paradise—if I buy it?" He said: "Yes." He said: "I have bought it and made it for the Muslims."
