I came to Al-Madinah, and I was performing Hajj, and while we were in our camping place unloading our mounts, someone came to us and said: 'The people have gathered in the Masjid.' I looked and found the people gathered, and in the midst of them was a group; there I saw 'Ali bin Abi Talib, Az-Zubair, Talhah and Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, may Allah have mercy on them. When I got there, it was said that 'Uthman bin 'Affan had come. He came, wearing a yellowish cloak. I said to my companion: Stay where you are until I find out what is happening. 'Uthman said: Is 'Ali here? Is Az-Zubair here? Is Talhah here? Is Sa'd here? They said: Yes. He said: I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever buys the Mirbad of Banu so and so, Allah will forgive him, and I bought it, then I came to the Messenger of Allah and told him, and he said: Add it to our Masjid and the reward for it will be yours? They said: Yes. He said: I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever buys the well of Rumah, Allah will forgive him, so I came to the Messenger of Allah and said: I have bought the well of Rumah. He said: Give it to provide water for the Muslims, and the reward for it will be yours? They said: Yes. He said: 'I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever equips the army of Al-'Usrah (i.e. Tabuk), Allah will forgive him, so I equipped them until they were not lacking even a rope or a bridle?' They said: Yes. He said: O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness.

:Telah mengabarkan kepadaku Ibrahim bin Al Hasan dari Hajjaj ia berkata; aku mendengar Syu'bah menceritakan dari Qatadah berkata; aku mendengar Al Hasan menceritakan dari Sa'd bin 'Ubadah bahwa ibunya meninggal kemudian berkata Wahai Rasulullah sedekah apakah yang paling utama? Beliau menjawab: Memberi minum air. Itulah pemberian minum Sa'd di Madinah.

We set out for Hajj, and came to Al-Madinah intending to perform Hajj. While we were in our camping place unloading our mounts, someone came to us and said: 'The people have gathered in the Masjid and there is panic.' So we set out and found the people gathered around a group in the middle of the Masjid, among whom were 'Ali, Az-Zubair, Talhah and Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas. While we were like that, 'Uthman came, wearing a yellowish cloak with which he had covered his head. He said: Is 'Ali here? Is Talhah here? Is Az-Zubair here? Is Sa'd here? They said: Yes. He said: I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever buys the Mirbad of Banu so and so, Allah will forgive him, and I bought it for twenty or twenty-five thousand, then I came to the Messenger of Allah and told him, and he said: Add it to our Masjid and the reward for it will be yours? They said: By Allah, yes. He said: 'I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever buys the well of Rumah, Allah will forgive him, so I bought it for such and such an amount, then I came to the Messenger of Allah and told him, and he said: Give it to provide water for the Muslims, and the reward for it will be yours?' They said: By Allah, yes. He said: 'I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever equips these (men), Allah will forgive him, -meaning the army of Al-'Usrah (i.e. Tabuk)- so I equipped them until they were not lacking even a rope or a bridle?' They said: By Allah, yes. He said: O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Al Abbas bin Muhammad berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Abdullah bin Yazid dari Sa'id bin Abu Ayyub dari 'Ubaidullah bin Abi Ja'far dari Salim bin Abu Salim Al Jaisyani dari ayahnya dari Abu Dzar ia berkata Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda kepadaku: Wahai Abu Dzar aku melihatmu orang yang lemah namun aku mencintaimu sebagaimana aku mencintai diriku janganlah engkau mengangkat dirimu sebagai pemimpin atas dua orang dan janganlah engkau menjadi wali anak yatim.

I was present at the house when 'Uthman looked out over them and said: 'I adjure you by Allah and by Islam, are you aware that when the Messenger of Allah came to Al-Madinah, and it had no water that was considered sweet (suitable for drinking) except the well of Rumah, he said: Who will buy the well of Rumah and dip his bucket in it alongside the buckets of the Muslims, in return for a better one in Paradise? and I bought it with my capital and dipped my bucket into it alongside the buckets of the Muslims? Yet today you are preventing me from drinking from it, so that I have to drink salty water.' They said: 'By Allah, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allah and by Islam, are you aware that I equipped the army of Al-'Usrah (Tabuk) from my own wealth?' They said: 'By Allah, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allah and by Islam, are you aware that when the Masjid became too small for the people and the Messenger of Allah said: Who will buy the plot of the family of so and so and add it to the Masjid, in return for a better plot in Paradise? I bought it with my capital and added it to the Masjid? Yet now you are preventing me from praying two Rak'ahs therein.' They said: 'By Allah, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allah and by Islam, are you aware that when the Messenger of Allah was atop Thabir -the Thabir in Makkah- and with him were Abu Bakr, 'Umar and myself, the mountain shook, and the Messenger of Allah kicked it with his foot and said: Be still, Thabir, for upon you are a Prophet, a Siddiq and two martyrs?' They said: 'By Allah, yes.' He said: 'Allahu Akbar! They have testified for me, by the Lord of the Ka'bah' -i.e., that I am a martyr.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Isma'il bin Mas'ud berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Khalid dari Husain dari 'Amru bin Syu'aib dari ayahnya dari kakeknya bahwa seseorang datang kepada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam kemudian berkata Sesungguhnya aku orang yang fakir aku tidak memiliki apa-apa namun aku mempunyai anak yatim? Beliau bersabda: Makanlah dari harta anak yatimmu tanpa berlebih-lebihan tidak boros dan tidak menjadikannya sebagai pokok harta.

By Allah, I adjure a man who heard the Messenger of Allah, on the day when the mountain shook with him, and he kicked it with his foot and said: 'Be still, for there is no one upon you but a Prophet or a Siddiq or two martyrs,' and I was with him. Some men responded and affirmed that. Then he said: By Allah, I adjure a man who witnessed the Messenger of Allah, on the day of Bai'at Al-Ridwan, say: 'This is the Hand of Allah and this is the hand of 'Uthman.' Some men responded and affirmed that. He said: By Allah, I adjure a man who heard the Messenger of Allah say, on the day of the army of Al-'Usrah (i.e. Tabuk): 'Who sill spend and it will be accepted?' And I equipped half of the army from my own wealth. Some men responded and affirmed that. Then he said: By Allah, I adjure a man who heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Who will add to this Masjid in return for a house in Paradise,' and I bought it with my own wealth. Some men responded and affirmed that. Then he said: By Allah, I adjure a man who witness Rumah being sold, and I bought it from my own wealth and allowed wayfarers to use it. Some men responded and affirmed that.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Ahmad bin Utsman bin Hakim berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Muhammad bin Ash Shalt berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Abu Kudainah dari 'Atha -yaitu Ibnu As Saib- dari Sa'id bin Jubair dari Ibnu Abbas berkata Tatkala turun ayat: '(Dan janganlah kamu dekati harta anak yatim kecuali dengan cara yang lebih bermanfaat) ' (Qs. Al Israa': 34) serta '(sesungguhnya orang-orang yang memakan harta orang yatim secara zhalim) ' (Qs. An Nisaa: 10). Ibnu Abbas berkata Maka orang-orang menjauhi harta anak yatim dan makanannya sehingga hal tersebut terasa berat atas orang-orang muslim. Maka mereka mengadukan hal tersebut kepada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam kemudian Allah menurunkan ayat: '(Dan mereka bertanya kepadamu tentang anak yatim katakalah: Mengurus urusan mereka secara patut adalah baik dan jika kamu bergaul dengan mereka maka mereka adalah saudaramu; dan Allah mengetahui siapa yang membuat kerusakan dari yang mengadakan perbaikan. Dan jikalau Allah menghendaki niscaya Dia dapat mendatangkan kesulitan kepadamu) ' (Qs. Al Baqarah: 220).
