Hazrat Qushayri narrates that on the day when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, I was also present in that house. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) looked at us and said, "O people, I ask you by Allah and remind you of the right of Islam, do you know that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, there was no well with sweet water in Madinah except the well of Rumah? So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Who will buy the well of Rumah and make its bucket like the bucket of the Muslims (i.e., dedicate it as a waqf)? He will get a better well than it in Paradise.' The people replied, 'Yes, we know it well.' Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'So I bought that well with my pure wealth (and dedicated it for the Muslims), and (today) you prevent me from breaking my fast with the water of that well, until I am forced to break my fast with seawater.'"
