The Virtues and Noble Rank of the Companions and the Ahl al-Bayt

who is the light of Allah — gave his two daughters one after another in marriage to Sayyiduna 'Uthman al-Ghani رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: when the first princess passed away, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ gave him the second in marriage.¹

My master, A'la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ versified this Hadith in his poetry as follows:

Noor ki sarkar say paya do shala noor ka

Ho Mubarak tum ko zun noorain joda noor ka²

2 Prophetic Statements in Honour of Sayyiduna 'Uthman al-Ghani رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

·         "Generosity is a tree of Paradise, and 'Uthman is one of its branches."³

·         "Every Prophet has a companion, and my companion (in Paradise) is 'Uthman."⁴

Hazrat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ explains the meaning of this blessed Hadith as follows: 'My special companion will be Sayyiduna 'Uthman; otherwise, many other fortunate individuals will also be companions in a general sense — as some narrations mention that Abu Bakr and 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا will be my special friends as well.'⁵

Sayyiduna 'Uthman al-Ghani رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ is Amongst the People of Paradise

Once, a person came to the presence of the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ shook his hand in greeting and did not release it until the man himself withdrew. The man then asked: "O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ! How is Hazrat 'Uthman?" He replied: "He is one of the people of Paradise."⁶

The Eminence of the Grandson of the Prophet, Sayyiduna Hazrat Imam Hasan رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

The Sovereign of Madinah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ was gracing the pulpit whilst (Imam) Hasan ibn 'Ali رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا was seated beside him. The Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ would turn his attention to the people and at times glance at (Imam) Hasan رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. He declared: "This son of mine is a Sayyid (i.e., a chief); through him, Allah shall make peace between two great factions of the Muslims."²

May the mercy of Allah be upon him, and through his intercession may our sins be forgiven without reckoning.

آمِينْ بِجَاهِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
