وَعَن ثُمامة بن حَزْنٍ الْقشيرِي قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ الدَّارَ حِينَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ عُثْمَانُ فَقَالَ: أنْشدكُمْ بِاللَّه وَالْإِسْلَامَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَيْسَ بِهَا مَاءٌ يُسْتَعْذَبُ غَيْرُ بِئْرِ رُومَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ يَشْتَرِي بِئْرَ رُومَةَ يَجْعَلُ دَلْوَهُ مَعَ دِلَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِخَيْرٍ لَهُ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟» فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْ صُلْبِ مَالِي وَأَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ تَمْنَعُونَنِي أَنْ أَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا حَتَّى أَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُمَّ نعم. فَقَالَ: أنْشدكُمْ بِاللَّه وَالْإِسْلَامَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ ضَاقَ بِأَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ يَشْتَرِي بُقْعَةَ آلِ فُلَانٍ فَيَزِيدُهَا فِي الْمَسْجِد بِخَير مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟» . فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْ صُلْبِ مَالِي فَأَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ تَمْنَعُونَنِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِيهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ؟ فَقَالُوا: اللَّهُمَّ نعم. قَالَ: أنْشدكُمْ بِاللَّه وَالْإِسْلَامَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي جَهَّزْتُ جَيْشَ الْعُسْرَةِ مِنْ مَالِي؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ. قَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمُ بِاللَّه وَالْإِسْلَامَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ عَلَى ثَبِيرِ مَكَّةَ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَأَنَا فَتَحَرَّكَ الْجَبَلُ حَتَّى تَسَاقَطَتْ حِجَارَتُهُ بِالْحَضِيضِ فَرَكَضَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ قَالَ: «اسْكُنْ ثَبِيرُ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ نَبِيُّ وَصِدِّيقٌ وَشَهِيدَانِ» . قَالُوا: اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ. قَالَ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ شَهِدُوا وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ أَنِّي شَهِيدٌ ثَلَاثًا. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيّ وَالدَّارَقُطْنِيّ
Thumama b. Hazn al-Qushairi said:
I was present at the house[*] when 'Uthman looked out on the people and said, "I adjure you by God and by Islam, are you aware that when God's messenger came to Medina and it had no water considered fresh but Bi'r Ruma, desiring that he and the Muslims might dip their buckets in it, he asked who would buy Bi'r Ruma for a better one in paradise, and I bought it from my capital? Yet you are preventing me from drinking of it to-day so that I have to drink salty water." When they swore by God that they were aware he said, "I adjure you by God and by Islam, are you aware that when the mosque became too small for the people God's messenger asked who would buy the plot of the family of so and so for a better one in paradise and add it to the mosque, and I bought it from my capital? Yet to-day you are preventing me from praying two rak'as in it." When they swore by God that they were aware he said, "I adjure you by God and by Islam, are you aware that I equipped the army of distress from my property?" When they swore by God that they were aware he said, "I adjure you by God and by Islam, are you aware that when God's messenger was on Thabir at Mecca accompanied by Abd Bakr, `Umar and me the mountain shook so that its stones were falling one after another to the ground below, so he kicked it with his foot and said, `Be still, Thabir, for there are only a prophet, a friend and two martyrs on you'?" When they swore by God that they were aware he said three times, "God is most great. They have testified by the Lord of the Ka'ba that I am a martyr." *`Uthman's house, when he was besieged during the revolt in which he was killed. Tirmidhi, Nasa'i and Daraqutni transmitted it.
