Great Wisdom of Sayyedina Uthman radi allahu ta'ala anhu

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

JAZZALLAHU ANNA SAYYEDINA MUHAMMADAN MA HUWA AHLAHU

MANAM SAGHE DARBARE JILANI

It is recorded in the Hadith Shareef that the Pulpit (Mimbar) of Sayyiduna Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam had three steps and the Noble Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam always ascended on the first step to deliver his Khutba. After him, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr As-Siddique Radi Allahu anhu used the second step, and likewise, Sayyiduna Omar Al-Farooq Radi Allahu anhu used the third step.

Then came the Khilafat of Sayyiduna Uthmaan Al-Ghani Radi Allahu anhu. He used the first step to deliver his Khutba. The Sahaba inquired from him the reason of using the first step. He replied, "There was no step below the first that I could stand on. If I used the third step then there could be a possibility of the thought of similarity to Sayyiduna Omar Radi Allahu anhu and the same in the second concerning Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu. So, I adopted the first step because no one could dare to have the thought of claiming similarity to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam".

Allahu Akbar.
