Thumamah bin Khuzan Qushayri says that on the day Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, I was present there. Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) once looked out from his house and said: "Bring those two companions of yours who have incited you against me." They were called. Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to them: "I ask you by Allah, do you know that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah and the Prophet's Mosque became too small, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Who will buy this piece of land with his own wealth and dedicate it for the Muslims? Its reward will be given to him in the best form in Paradise.' So I bought it purely with my own wealth and dedicated it for the Muslims. Now you stop me from praying two rak'ahs in it?" Then he said: "I ask you by Allah, do you know that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, there was no sweet water well except the well of Rumah? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Who will buy it purely with his own wealth and make his share equal to that of the Muslims? And in the Hereafter, receive the best reward in Paradise?' So I bought it purely with my own wealth and dedicated it. Now you stop me from drinking its water?" Then he said: "Do you know that I was the one who provided the equipment for the expedition of Tabuk?" The people affirmed his statement.
