O Allah, shower Your mercy upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as You showered Your mercy upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam) and the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious. O Allah, shower Your blessings upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as You showered Your blessings upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam) and the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam).

Love of Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) for Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)
On the occasion of Hudaybiyah, Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was commissioned by Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) to negotiate with the Quraish in Makkah Mukarramah. When Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) had left for Makkah Mukarramah, some of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) envied Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) for being able to perform tawaaf of the House of Allah Ta‘ala. On the other hand, Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) remarked, “I do not think he will ever desire to perform tawaaf without me.”
When Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) entered Makkah Mukarramah, Abaan bin Sa’eed took him into his protection and said to him, “You may move around freely wherever you wish. Nobody here can touch you.”
Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) carried out his negotiations with Abu Sufyaan and the other chiefs of Makkah Mukarramah on behalf of Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), and when he was about to return, the Quraish themselves said to him, “Now when you are here in Makkah Mukarramah, you can perform tawaaf before you return.” Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) replied, “How can it ever be possible for me to perform tawaaf (without Hazrat Rasulullah [sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam])?”
This reply was most unpalatable for the Quraish and they decided to detain Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) in Makkah Mukarramah. News had reached the Muslims that Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) had been martyred. On this news reaching Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), he took the oath of allegiance from all the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) to fight till the last drop of their blood. When the Quraish learnt of this, fear overcame them and they immediately released Hazrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu). Kanzul Ummaal #30152, Musnad Ahmad #18910
يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
