period of his own caliphate. However, there were still three tasks left to be completed. First of all, copying all the text from all the gathered copies to be copied into one manuscript, then sending copies of the same manuscript to all the big cities of the Islamic countries and lastly, to instruct everyone to recite it in the dialect of the Quraysh. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ chose Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ to carry out these three blessed tasks. It is for this reason that Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ is called ‘Jami’-ul-Quran’ (the gatherer of the Holy Quran). (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 26, pp. 452)

Third title; ‘مُجَهِّزُ جَيۡشِ الۡعُسۡرَة’

One of the titles of Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ is also ‘مُجَهِّزُ جَيۡشِ الۡعُسۡرَة’. It means the helper of the army of lesser means. The Islamic army which was prepared on the occasion of the expedition of Tabook is called ‘Jaysh-ul-Usra’; this is because this battle took place at an extremely difficult location and during the hard times of searing heat of the scorching summer season.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdur Rahman Bin Khabbaab رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has narrated: I was present in the blessed court of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم who was motivating the Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم for ‘Jaysh-e-‘Usrah’ [i.e. 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 Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then resumed his motivational efforts once again. Ameer-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.’ Upon hearing this, the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم became extremely happy. That is why,
