Financial Sacrifice (Hazrat Khalifatul Masih III’s (ra) Narration)

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih III (rh)has mentioned the sacrifice of Hazrat Uthman (ra) as follows:

“Once, provisions were required for a battle and the Holy Prophet (sa) made an appeal for the essential requirements before the Companions (ra) and urged them to offer financial sacrifices. Subsequently, Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) brought his entire wealth and Hazrat Umar (ra) brought half of his wealth. Hazrat Uthman (ra) submitted, ‘I will endure all the expense of 10,000 companions; kindly accept this from me.’ On top of that, he donated 1,000 camels and 70 horses.”
