1. After the migration of Muslims to Madinah, A Jewish trader had taken advantage of the need for the city dwellers' survival when he sold water (a precious commodity indeed) at a very high price.
Uthman R.A took the initiative to relieve them of such high expenses. He offered to buy the well at Rawmah from the Jew but was only allowed to purchase half of it.
Uthman R.A then told the Muslims to purchase enough water for two days each time it was his turn to sell water, thereby avoiding purchase of water on the second day when it was the Jew's turn to use the well.
The Jew was then unable to get any buyers and eventually had to sell his share to Uthman R.A. The well then overflowed with its sweet water and provided the people of Medina with water at no price or account.
2. When the number of converts to Islam increased in Madina, the space available for them at the mosque in Madina decreased. The Prophet ﷺ had hoped that perhaps one of his Companions could help with the purchase of the neighbouring area to facilitate the expansion of the mosque
Uthman R.A was only too willing to oblige and proceeded to the owners of this area with an offer to purchase. The Prophet ﷺ had said, "Who will buy the land of so and so add it to the mosque in return for something good for him in Paradise?"
Again, when the Prophet ﷺ returned from their victorious campaign in Makkah, he sought to expand the area of the sacred mosque.
He suggested that the owners of the home beside the mosque to donate it but they did not, saying that they had nothing else to their name and no other means of finding another home.
For the third time Uthman R.A came forward, purchased a house for the owners with an even larger one than they had given up.
3. During the rule of Abu Bakr R.A, the Muslims had undergone great hardship and one of them was the need for food.
As a merchant Uthman R.A was due to receive a substantial delivery of food and other goods from Damascus but he had chosen to give up the entire caravan to the poor to help them survive the harsh conditions.

Anas Ibn Malik R.A had a younger brother who was called "Abu 'Umair" by nickname (kunyah).
Abu Umair had a nughayr (a kind of bird or sparrow) which he played with and it died.
When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard about it, he sat with Abu Umair, for a long time, consoling the boy over the death of his bird!
Anas bin Malik R.A narrates:
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to visit us. I had a younger brother who was called Abu ‘Umair by nickname (kunyah).
He had a sparrow which he played with, but it died.
So one day the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came to see him and saw him grieving.
One of the important events that occurred in the month of Muharram was the Battle of Karbala.
This battle is one of the most memorable battles for Muslims.
Hussain (R.A) and his companions’ courage against oppression have become an example for Muslims who experience oppression to take a step toward fighting against any form of oppression.
The battle of Karbala took place on 10 Muharram 61 AH at Karbala, precisely near the Euphrates River, or the area now known as Iraq.

The 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah is the Day of Arafah. Arafah was the day on which Allah perfected His religion, completed His favours upon His beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, & approved Islam as a way of life
There is no other day like it (Arafah) in the whole year.
The Prophet ﷺ said, 'There is no day on which Allah frees people from the Fire more so than on the Day of ‘Arafah. Indeed, He draws near and then boasts of them to the angels then says, “What do these want?“' [Muslim]
It is when the religion of Islam was perfected.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Today I have perfected for you your religion and completed upon you My blessing and I have chosen for you Islam as [your] religion” (5:3)
This verse was revealed on the day of Arafah.
