Lives of Sahaba 22 - Uthman b. Affan 2 - His Generosity and Achievements - Yasir Qadhi

View all previous videos in this series here: • Lives of the Sahaba - ...
In this video, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi continues to cover the life and times of the 3rd Khalifa of Islam, Uthman Ibn 'Affan [r].
A summary of topics covered are:
-What we know about Uthman [r] in the time of the Prophet [pbuh] and his achievements
-Not much is known about him in Meccan era
-His generosity is a constant theme in the Seerah
-After migrating to Medina, Uthman [r] purchased a well for the Muslims to drink from for 35,000 Dirhams, equivalent of $1.5M dollars today (appx).
-During the battle of Badr, Ruqayiah [r] was very ill so Uthman [r] was not able to participate and was commanded by the Prophet [pbuh] not to attend
-Uthman was considered to be a 'Badri' and was given his share of war booty, even though he did not attend
-The prophet [pbuh] eventually offers his daughter Umm-Khultum [r] in marriage to Uthman [r] in the 3rd year of the Hijra
-Uthman's [r] son, Abdullah, passes away 4th year of Hijra
-Uthman [r] participated in battle of Uhud, and was one of those who ran [turned their backs] and was explicitly forgiven by Allah in the Qur'an ("Allah has forgiven them" - surah Ale'Imran)
-Uthman [r] was chosen as the governor in the absence of the Prophet [pbuh]
-His most honorable occasion was at Hudaibiyah, when Umar [r] suggested Uthman [r] to represent the Muslims, since Abu Sufiyan was of Banu Ummaiya as well. All leaders refused Uthman [r]'s proposal to allow Muslims to do Umrah. Uthman in turn refused Quraysh's offer to perform tawaf. Rumors spread that Uthman [r] may have been killed. 1400 gave allegiance to the Prophet [r] to defend the blood of Uthman.
-When foster brother of Uthman [r] Abdullah left Islam, the Prophet [pbuh] ordered not to forgive such people. He came to house of Uthman [r] and begged for forgiveness. Uthman took Abdullah to the Prophet to make his case, who eventually forgave him. Abdullah led a very genuine and beneficial life after that
-Battle of Tabuk: Uthman [r] donated hundreds of camels until the Prophet [pbuh] said "nothing can harm Uthman after this"
-Another narration has Uthman bringing sacks of gold coins and the prophet [pbuh] made a similar statement ("nothing can harm Uthman after this"). Shows how you can never lose wealth by giving it for a good cause, because Uthman [r] regained wealth and continued to give.
-In essence, Uthman [r] single handedly financed the battle of Tabuk
-In 9th year, Umm Khultum [r] passed away without any children
-Due to his patience, Allah blessed him with 14 children after that
-Prophet [pbuh] saw Uthman [r] sad, and commented "If I had a 3rd daughter I would give her to you"
-When the prophet [pbuh] wanted to expand the masjid, Uthman [r] purchased the land for 25,000 Dirhams. A part of this is what is the Rawdah today, known as "heaven on earth"

salaam - not a criic, so please don't think that i have any ill intentions - just wanted to point out to the one who uploaded the video, that in the 14th minute (i think around 13:50) the verse 115 of al imran mentioned is not the correct reference, since verse 115 of al imran is as follows: "And whatever good they do - never will it be removed from them. And Allah is knowing of the righteous" and the CORRECT reference is verse 155 of the same surah, Al Imran where Allah says "Indeed those of you who turned back on the day the two armies met, it was satan who caused them to slip because of some (blame) they had earned. But Allah has already forgiven them. Indeed Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing". --> this is what the shaykh is referring to here. To the ones reading this and satan is causing them to think negatively leading to casting aspersions over the shaykh and his knowledge - STOP, please don't think that. We are all human and can make such minor errors, this is not in any way a reflection of ignorance or anything of that nature, such things only HUMANISES us! To be honest, such a mistake probably does not even require this sort of an explanation, but I'm resorting this for the simple reason that unfortunately some people always LOOK for such minor slip ups in order discredit someone, which is plain foolish! You're going to discredit someone for being human? please don't do that. They shaykh verse 155 but just said verse 115, not big deal. As Salaam Alaykum Wa'Rehmatullah

[@abdullahrege4213]

the incident of Abdullah ibn abi sarah is similar to the habbaarid dynasty originator who indirectly caused miscarriage of zainab bint rasool Allah

[@remooh614]

I couldn't figure out how the first extension during Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that Uthman bought its land is the Rawdah? any one to explain ! ... from my point of view it can not be, and I might be wrong.

[@AsadUllah-ff5pp]

Some thing strange

Humza Yousuf is more suitable to plead your case.
