Uthman ibn Hunaif

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uthman ibn Hunaif Dhu'sh-Shahadatain was one of the companions of Muhammad. He did not give allegiance to Abu Bakr, until Ali supposedly did so [1]. He narrated the Hadith of the blind man [2].

Qadi Yusuf says that Uthman bin Hunaif was an authority in all Arabia on taxation, assessment of land revenue and land reclamation. He was employed by Umar as a land revenue expert [3].
