Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani in the light of blessed Ahadees

Dear Islamic sisters! It is normally observed that a servant remains occupied in praising and glorifying her owner or master due to her bestowments, but how great and marvellous is it when an owner also praises the qualities and virtues of her servant and expresses the devotional relationship that she has established with her! Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ is also regarded amongst those fortunate companions who had been conveyed with glad tidings by the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on various occasions. At times, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ received the glad tidings of Paradise from the blessed court of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and at times, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم declared him to be his companion of Paradise. At times, the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم granted him the title of a perfect modest person and at times, the Noblest Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم announced that his (i.e. Usman-e-Ghani’s رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) intercession will bless people with Jannah. Let us listen to four blessed sayings of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in relation to the excellences of Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ:

1. ‘Usman (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) is from me and I am from ‘Usman (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ). (Tareekh-e-Dimashq, vol. 39, pp. 102)
