Bir
e Usman (Well of Usman)
There
was a time in Medina when there was huge shortage of Water and
a Yahoodi owned a Well which was full of Water he used to sell
Water at very High prices to the Muslims and used to give free
to Jews.
Bir E
Usman is Full of Water even today after 1400 Years.
So
the ansaars of Medina came to RasoolAllah s.a.w. and told him
about their problem so RasoolAllah s.a.w. told that
Anyone who wants a House in JANNAT should buy that Well
for the Muslims.
When
Hazrat Usman heard this that just for a WELL in this World he
would get a House in JANNA he instantly went to the Yahoodi
and bought the Well on whatever amount he told.
The Yahoodi said that he will Only Sell Half of the Well. Hazrat
Usman agreed and First Bought Half the Well.
Date Gardens take water from Bir E Usman
Which is Full of Water even today after 1400 Years.
Once
Hazrat Usman r.d.a. bought half the well made it Waqf for Muslims
and Opened the Well for All Muslims...seeing that now nobody
is now purchasing water from him as Hazrat Umar had Opened his
side of the Well for ALL Muslims the Yahoodi Sold the other
Half of the Well Also to Hazrat Usman. the Well is now known
as Bir e Usman (Bir means Well).
