During the expedition of Tabook, Sayidina 'Uthman fulfilled the need of 1/3 of the army. Rasulullah sallaAllualayhiwasallam prayed,

'May Allah forgive you Oh 'Uthman what you've done, what you'll do, what you've done in secret, in open, what you've hidden, what you've shown, whatever has come from you and what will come from you until the day of Qiyaamat.'

"Allah, Allah! Fear Him with regard to my Companions! Do not make them targets after me! Whoever loves them loves them with his love for me; and whoever hates them hates them with his hatred for me. Whoever bears enmity for them bears enmity for me; and whoever bears enmity for me, bears enmity for Allah. Whoever bears enmity for Allah, He will soon make him perish.''
