Abu Abdur Rahman Salami narrates that when Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged, he looked towards the people from the roof of his house and said: "I remind you of Allah, do you not know that when the mountain of Hira began to shake, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Hira! Remain firm! Upon you is a Prophet, a Siddiq, and a martyr.'?" The people replied: "Yes!" Then Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I remind you of Allah, do you not know that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to prepare provisions for the expedition of Tabuk, he said: 'Who will spend such that it will be accepted?' At that time, the people were in difficulty, so I provided one third of the army's provisions." The people replied: "It is so." Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I remind you of Allah and ask, do you not know that water from the well of Rumah could only be drunk in exchange for payment, so I bought it and dedicated it for every wealthy, poor, and traveler?" The people replied: "Yes!" After this, Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) had some other things counted as well.
