Sayyiduna ‘Abdur Rahman Bin Khabbaab رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has narrated: I was present in the blessed court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم who was motivating [the Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم] for the battle of Tabook. Sayyiduna ‘Usman Bin ‘Affaan رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ stood up and said, ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I take it upon myself to donate 100 camels along with saddles and other related provisions.’ The Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then resumed his inspirational efforts. Sayyiduna ‘Usman Bin ‘Affaan رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ stood up again and said, ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I bear the responsibility of contributing 200 camels with all the provisions.’ The Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then resumed his motivational efforts once again. Amir-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ stood up once again and said, ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I take the responsibility of [donating] 300 camels with all the provisions.’

The narrator has further reported: I saw that when Beloved and Blessed Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم heard this, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came down from his refulgent pulpit and declared twice, ‘From today, whatever ‘Usman (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ) does, he will not be held accountable.’ (Sunan-ut-Tirmiżi, vol. 5, pp. 391, Hadees 3720)

اِمامُ الاَسخِیاء! کر دو عطا حصّہ سخاوت کا

قَناعَت ہو عِنایت، دیں نہ دَولت کی فَراوانی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! These days we see some people showing their intention to donate when they see others spending in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. However, when the time comes for delivering the money as per their commitment, they find it extremely difficult to meet their commitment. Some do not even give the amount they committed. See the generosity of the Holy Prophet’s beloved, ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ who donated more than what he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ announced.
