UTHMAAN AS A GREAT SCHOLAR
‘Uthmaan, may Allah be pleased with him, had a beautiful handwriting because of which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, appointed him as one of the scribes of the Wahy (Revelation). His style of writing was well recognized among the Companions of the Prophet. People who are well versed in Arabic can easily recognize the fluency of his writings of the letters and the orders he sent to various rulers during his caliphate. Though he was not an orator, his way of lecturing was very eloquent and effective. His addresses and lectures can be seen in history books.
‘ Uthmaan was a great scholar of the Glorious Qur’an; he was a Haafif_. He was well versed in Asbaab An-Nozool, i.e.
the occasions of revelation of various verses and the Surahs of the Glorious Qur’an, and was considered an authority in this respect. He was one of the few Companions who excelled in deriving rulings and verdicts from the verses of the Qur’an.
Although he was not a great jurist like ‘ Umar and ‘ Ali, he was well qualified in this respect. His verdicts and judgements have been mentioned in the btxoks of jurisprudence. He was considered an authority on the laws of Hajj. Even ‘ Umar asked ‘ Uthmaan about that during his time.
