3702. Anas bin Mālik narrated that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered the pledge of Rīḍwān, 'Uthmān bin 'Affān was the messenger of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to the people of Makkah. He said: "So the people gave the pledge." He said: "So the
Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Indeed 'Uthmān is busy with the affair of Allāh and the affair of His Messenger' then he (ﷺ) put one of his hands on the other. The hand of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on behalf of 'Uthmān, was better than their own hands for themselves."

Commentary
This pledge was named "The Pledge of Ridwān" because Allāh ﷻ approved it. The Prophet ﷺ put his right hand on the left hand on behalf of 'Uthmān. This is a great honor for 'Uthmān.
