Musnad Ahmad 511 (Book 4, Hadith 104) #34178
The Prophet's Teachings on Charity and Jihad

SUMMARY: Uthman asked Ali, Az-Zubair, Talhah and Sa'd if they remembered the Prophet's teachings about buying properties for the benefit of Muslims and equipping soldiers for jihad.

Al-Ahnaf said: We set out for Hajj, and passed by Madinah. Whilst we were in our camp, someone came to us and said: The people are in a panic in the mosque. My companion and I set out, and we found some people gathered around a group in the mosque. I pushed through them until I got to (that group), where I found ' Ali bin Abi Talib, Az-Zubair, Talhah and Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas. Soon 'Uthman came walking and said: Is 'Ali here? They said: Yes. He said: is Az-Zubair here? They said: Yes. He said: is Talhah here? They said: Yes. He said: is Sa'd here? They said: Yes. He said: I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is no other god, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever buys the date-drying place of (the tribe of) Banu so- and-so, Allah will forgive him". so I bought it and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have bought it; he said: 'Add it to our mosque and the reward for that will be yours"? They said: Yes. He said: I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is no other god, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Who will buy the well of Roomah?' so I bought it for such and such and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have bought it - meaning the well of Roomah, and he said: 'Make it a water source for the Muslims and the reward for that will be yours'? They said: Yes. He said: I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is no other god, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the faces of the people on the day of the army of hardship (Tabook) and said: "Whoever equips these men, Allah will forgive him," so I equipped them until they were not without even reins or ropes? They said: By Allah, yes. He said: O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness; O Allah, bear witness. Then he left
