Before the martyrdom of Uthman (RA.), he spoke to Abu Thaur al-Fahmi (RA.) thus:
I entertain great hopes in my Lord with Whom I have placed ten things as trust:
- I am the fourth person to accept Islam.
- The HOly Prophet (SAW) gave his daughter in marriage to me.
- On her death, he gave me his second daughter in marriage.
- I have never sung a song.
- I have never even thought of wickedness.
- Ever since I took the oath of allegiance to the Holy Prophet (SAW) with my right hand, I have never touched the genitals therewith.
- Ever since I became a Muslim, I have set free a slave on every Friday.
- I have never committed adultery during the Days of Ignorance or after embracing Islam.
- I have never stolen anything during the Dyas of Ignorance or after embracing Islam.
- I committed the Holy Quran to memory during the life time of the Holy Prophet (SAW).
