When Uthman was circled(by the rebels), he looked upon them from above and said, "I ask you by Allah, I ask nobody but the companions of the Prophet (SAW), don't you know that Allah's Messenger said, 'Whoever will (buy and) dig the well of Ruma will be granted paradise,' and I (bought and) dug it? Don't you know that he said, 'Whoever equip the army of Usra (Tabuk's Ghazwa) will be granted paradise,' and I equipped it?" They attested whatever he said. When Umar founded his endowment he said, "Its administrator can eat from it." The management of the endowment can be taken over by the founder himself or any other person, for both cases are permissable.

"A man from the tribe of Bani Sahm went out in the company of Tamim Ad-Dari and Adi bin Badda. The man of Bani Sahm died in a land where there was no Muslim. When Tamim and Adi returned conveying the property of the deceased, they claimed that they had lost a silver bowl with gold engraving. Allah's Messenger made them take an oath (to confirm their claim), and then the bowl was found in Makkah with some people who claimed that they had bought it from Tamim and Adi. Then two witnesses from the relatives of the deceased got up and swore that their witnesses were more valid than the witnesses of Tamim and Adi, and that the bowl belonged to their deceased fellow. So, this Verse was revealed in connection with this case; 'O you who believe! When death approaches any of you....' " (5.106)

My father was martyred on the day (of the Ghazwa) of Uhud and left six daughters and some debts to be paid. When the time of plucking the date-fruits came, I went to Allah's Apostle (SAW) and said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! you know that my father was martyred on Uhud's day and owed much debt, and I wish that the creditors would see you." The Prophet (SAW) said, "Go and collect the various kinds of dates and place them separately in heaps" I did accordingly and called him. On seeing him, the creditors started claiming their rights pressingly at that time. When the Prophet (SAW) saw how they behaved, he went round the biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said, "Call your companions (i.e. the creditors)." Then he kept on measuring and giving them, till Allah cleared all my father's debts. By Allah, it would have pleased me that Allah would clear the debts of my father even though I had not taken a single date to my sisters. But by Allah, all the heaps were complete, (as they were) and I looked at the heap where Allah's Apostle (SAW) was sitting and noticed as if not a single date had been taken thereof. Allah (SWT) said: "So we planted amongst them enmity and hatred".
