The One Who was Dzu an-Nurayn

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Sayyidina ‘Ali ibn Abu Thalib (k.w.) said, about Sayyidina Abu ‘Amr ‘Utsman ibn ‘Affan (r.a.), after his passing, “He is the person who is remembered as ‘Dzu an-Nurayn’ in the gathering of angels, for the Prophet (s.a.w.) married two of his two daughters to him.”

Dzu an-Nurayn” means “the possessor of two lights”.  This is found in the Shi’ah book, Iswabah ma Iswtiyyab, and in the Sunni books, Tarikh al-Khulafah, and Kanz al-Ummal.
