Mention of Hazrat Osman (MAPH) in hadiths
Good news given to be in paradise
Abu Musa Ash’ari, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates: One day he was looking for the Messenger of Allah, PBUH, but he did not find him in his houses or in the mosque. ; He tracked him down and was told that he had gone this way, and he went that way and saw that he had entered the Eris well; I said to myself: I place myself as the gatekeeper of the Messenger of Allah, PBUH. Abu Musi says: Abu Bakr came and asked to enter, I said to him: O Abu Bakr, I have to get permission for you. I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr asked for permission to enter, the Prophet smiled and said: Allow him to enter and give him the good news of heaven.
Abu Bakr entered and sat next to the Messenger of Allah, PBUH, at the edge of the well and put his feet in the well. Umar bin Khattab came and wanted to enter, Abu Musa says: I said, O Umar, I should stop, so that I may seek permission from the Messenger of Allah, PBUH. So, I went inside and said: O Messenger of Allah, PBUH, Umar is in front of the gate, and he wants permission to enter. The Prophet said: Allow him to enter and give him the good news of heaven.
Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) entered and sat next to his friend Abu Bakr R.H. Osman came and I said: I have to get permission for you from the Messenger of Allah, PBUH. I went to the Messenger of Allah, PBUH, and said: O Messenger of Allah, Osman is in front of the gate and wants permission to enter. The Prophet said: Give him permission and give him the good news of heaven with the calamity that will befall him. I went out and said: The Messenger of Allah, PBUH, will give you permission and give you good news of heaven with the calamity that will befall you. He looked at Abu Musa Ash’ari and went inside and did not see anywhere near the well beside the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, Abu Bakr and Omar. So, he sat on the opposite side and put his feet in the well.
One day, the Prophet was in the mosque and said: Abu Bakr is in heaven, Umar is in heaven, Osman is in heaven, Ali is in heaven, Talha bin Ubaidullah is in heaven, Saeed bin Zubair is in heaven, Abdul Rahman bin Auf is in heaven, and Zubair Ben Awam is in heaven.
Ayesha, may Allah bless her and grant her peace, says: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sitting, his foot was on Osman’s feet, when the revelation was revealed to him. Osman was writing the revelation, and I was wiping the sweat from the forehead of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would say: Write, O Osman, Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, says: I swear by Allah that he does not give this status to a person; Unless it is valuable to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
The shame of the angels from Osman may Allah be pleased with him
“One day, the Prophet, PBUH, was sitting in his house, with his shirt up; Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, asked for permission to enter, and he was granted permission, the Prophet was sitting as he was; Then Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, asked for permission, Umar also entered, and the Prophet was in the same state and spoke to him; Then Osman asked for permission, the Prophet got up and sat down, straightened himself and lowered his clothes, Osman entered and the Prophet spoke to him. Then Osman went out, when he went out, Ayesha asked the reason for arranging the Prophet’s clothes. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: O Ayesha! Osman is a modest man; I am afraid that he will enter and see me like this and be shy in telling me what he wants to say. Shall I not be ashamed of the one whom the angels are ashamed of?”
His stability and steadfastness in the truth
Osman was one of the richest people in Mecca, he was very popular in Mecca, his conversion to Islam gave a strong blow to the Quraysh, they began to persecute him to return from Islam, including his uncle Hakam bin Aas, who chained him and said to him: I will keep you in this state so that you return to the religion of your fathers. He said: I swear to Allah, I will not return if you leave me like this. When he saw his strength and insistence, he unchained him and freed him. After that, the Quraysh put him in trouble in his business and cut ties with him and pressured him economically to return and become an apostate, but he remained firm on Islam.
