So Uthman Abdi Affan

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

the hero that we are speaking about today.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

He was a man who spent so much

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

of his wealth,

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

that nobody

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

could compete with him

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

quantity wise.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

We spoke about percentage wise. Percentage wise, number

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

1 was Abu Bakr. As Siddiq

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

He gave 100% of what he had. But

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

quantity wise, rich man is Uthman ibn Affan.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

Let's look at what happened during the battle

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

of Tabuk, just prior to the battle of

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

Tabuk. The Prophet

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

sent a message to Makkah, and he got

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

up on the mimber in Madinah Munawara, and

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

he asked for donations towards the battle of

00:00:37 --> 00:00:37

Tabuk.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

And the sahabah

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

started coming with their various donations.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

And here comes, Uthman Abi Affan

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

It is interesting how mention has been made

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

of this in so many narrations.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

Some of them take the figure,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

bringing it as highest to a 1000 animals

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

that Uthman Abni Affan

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

brought. 9

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

50 camels all at once.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

Subhanallah!

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

9 50 camels and 50 horses.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:07

They say,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

1 third of the entire expense of that

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

entire army

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

was provided by 1 man. And his name

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

was Uthman Abni Affan

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

As humble as he was, he did not

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

speak unnecessarily.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

He was a quiet person. He was not

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

one of the big lecturers. He had few

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

words, but he was a humble man. So

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

generous he was. On top of that, he

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

brought one

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

1,000 gold coins, and placed them in the

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

laps of Muhammad

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

Uthmanab Ni Affan. Muhammad

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

This was his son-in-law,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

his son-in-law. And he was so happy that

00:01:44 --> 00:01:44

he said,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

Nothing will harm Uthman, from whatever he does

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

after today. He will still have paradise.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:54

Subhanallah.
