The  kunya of Uthman Ibn Affan RA was Abu Amr, later changed to Abu Abdullah after birth of a son. Uthman (RA) was a man of medium height; he was a handsome man with excellent features - wheat colored hair, a thick healthy beard, big boned and wide shouldered. Uthman RA was an embodiment of generosity and kindness, humility,modesty and piety.  In spite of being affluent, he spent a life of simplicity and would often sleep, wrapped in a blanket, on the sand of the mosque.he was blessed with nine sons and five daughters. Uthman ibn Affan was the third of the successors of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and was related to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in more ways than one.  Uthman was married to Prophet Muhammad’s daughter Ruqayyah and when she died, he married Muhammad’s other daughter, Umm Kulthum.Uthman ibn Affan RA was hence,called the possessor of two lights,  Dhun-Noorayn. Uthman RA never indulged in alcohol, women or idolatry. He had always been the bearer of the beacon that was associated with the preservation, memorization and recitation of the Qur'an. His good deeds such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and reading the Qur'an took predominance always.
