1. In
early days when prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam migrated to madina,
muslims had to face great difficulty to get drinking water. There was no
well surrounding muslims population except well of romma which was the
property of a jew and he used to sell water at a very high cost. Muslims
were no able to purchase so costly water.Prophet sallala ho allihi wasalam
wanted to purchase that well for muslims.He sallalla hi allihi wasalam
said that the person who would purchase that well for their muslim
brothers , would get a river in heaven after death. At this occasion syedna
usman R.A who was wealthy person among muslims came forward,
purchased the well of romma and paid unbar gained demand of
that cruel jew . Syedna usman paid 25 thousand darham for that well
and donated its' water free among muslims of madina.
2 . In madina this well is still known with its
name ber-e-roma. some people say it ber-e-usman. it is situated near masjid-e
qiblatain. if you come to main road returning from masjid-e qiblatain
you can find this well on the north of masjid-e-qiblatain. it is situated
on muddy path There is no proper road leads to ber-roma. Now a small road
has been built and this area is locally called
SULTANA .
3. Visiting this historic well pilgrims must memorize
the most difficult and painful period of syedna usman. when he was
caliph and the enemies had restricted his movement in the city and
had been forced not to come out from his house . Cruel enemies even
stopped the water supply of that particular well which had
been purchased and donated by him for their muslims fellow. Caliph usman
R.A was at last killed (shaheed) by munfaqeen.
