He married Ruqayyah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, before prophethood, and she died with him during the nights of the Battle of Badr. He was held back from Badr, because of her becoming ill, with the permission of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who assigned a portion of the spoils to him and rewarded him, and so he is counted among the people of Badr because of that.

He was one of the first outstrippers (as-Sabiqun al-Awwalun), the first of the Muhajirun, one of the ten for whom it was witnessed that they were destined for the Garden, and one of the six with whom the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was pleased when he died. He was one of the Companions who memorised all of the Qur’an, and indeed Ibn cAbbad said, ‘None of the khulafa’ memorised all of the Qur’an except for him and al-Ma’mun.’ Ibn Sacd said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, appointed him as his deputy in charge of Madinah during the military expeditions to Dhat ar-Riqac and Ghatafan.

Ibn Sacd narrated that cAbd ar-Rahman ibn Hatib said: I saw none of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who, when he narrated a hadith, narrated it more completely and more excellently than cUthman ibn cAffan, unless it was a man who was in awe of the hadith.

Abu Nucaym ya ruwaito cewa al-Hasan ya ce: An kira cUthman da Mai Haske Biyu ne kawai saboda ba a san wani da ya rufe ƙofarsa a kan 'ya'ya mata biyu na annabi ba sai shi.

Al-Bayhaqi narrated in his Sunan that cAbdullah ibn cUmar ibn Abban al-Jucfi said: My maternal uncle Hussein al-Jucfi said, ‘Do you realise why cUthman was called the Possessor of Two Lights?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘No-one has ever been united to two daughters of a prophet since Allah created Adam (nor will be) until the Hour n rises other than cUthman, and for that reason he was called the Possessor of Two Lights.’ Abu Nucaym narrated that al-Hasan said: cUthman was only called the Possessor of Two Lights because no-one is known of who closed his door upon two daughters of a prophet other than him.

Al-Malini narrated with an isnad in which there is some weakness that Sahl ibn Sacd said: It is said about cUthman ‘the Possessor of Two Lights’ because he will pass from one abode to another in the Garden and there will gleam forth for him two flashes of lightning, and it is for that reason that is said about him.

Ya ce: An ba shi kunyar Abu cAmr a zamanin Jahiliyya, sannan a zamanin Musulunci, Ruqayyah ta haifa masa cAbdullah, sai ya karɓi kunyarsa daga gare shi (Abu cAbdullah).

He said: He was given the kunyah of Abu cAmr in the Jahiliyyah, then in the time of Islam, Ruqayyah gave birth to cAbdullah for him, and he took his kunyah from him (Abu cAbdullah).

Ibn cAsakir narrated that Usamah ibn Zaid said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent me to cUthman’s house with a dish in which was meat. I went in, and there was Ruqayyah, may Allah be pleased with her, seated. 1

Da na dawo, Manzon Allah ﷺ ya tambaye ni, ya ce, ‘Shin ka shiga wurinsu?’ Na ce, ‘Eh.’ Ya ce, ‘Ko ka taba ganin ma’aurata da suka fi su kyau?’ Na ce, ‘A’a, Manzon Allah.’ Ibn Sa'd ya rawaito cewa Muhammad ɗan Ibrahim ɗan al-Harith at-Taymi ya ce: Lokacin da Cuthman ɗan Affan ya musulunta, kawunsa na uba, al-Hakam ɗan Abi’l-As ɗan Umayya ya kama shi, ya ɗaure shi da igiya, ya ce, ‘Shin kana son barin addinin kakanninka don wani sabon addini?

began to look at the face of Ruqayyah one time and another time at the face of cUthman. When I returned, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, questioned me and asked me, ‘Did you go in to them?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Have you seen a couple more beautiful than them?’ I said, ‘No, Messenger of Allah.’ Ibn Sacd narrated that Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi said: When cUthman bin cAffan became a Muslim, his paternal uncle, al-Hakam ibn Abi’l-cAs ibn Umayyah took hold of him, bound him with rope, and said, ‘Do you wish to leave the religion of your fathers for an innovated deeni By Allah, I will not leave you until you give up that which you are involved in.’ cUthman said, ‘By Allah, I will not give it up nor abandon it.’ When al-Hakam saw his firmness in his deen he left him.

Abu Ya'la ya ruwaito cewa Anas ya ce: Mutumin farko da ya yi hijira tare da iyalinsa zuwa ga Habashawa shi ne Uthman ibn Affan. Annabi ﷺ ya ce: "Allah ya tare su biyu. Uthman shi ne farko da ya yi hijira tare da iyalinsa saboda Allah tun zamanin Lut."

The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘May Allah accompany the two of them. cUthman is the first to emigrate with his family for the sake of Allah since Lut.’ Ibn cAdi narrated that CA’ ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, married away his daughter Umm Kulthum, he said to her, ‘Your husband, of all men, is the one who most resembles your grandfather Ibrahim and your father Muhammad.’ Ibn cAdi and Ibn cAsakir narrated Ibn cUmar said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘We find a resemblance in cUthman to our father Ibrahim.’
