4554. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Out of all the Anṣār, living in Al-Madīna, Abū Ṭalḥa had the largest number of (date-palm trees) gardens, and the most beloved of his property to him was Bairuḥā' garden which was facing the mosque (of the Prophet ﷺ). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to enter it and drink of its good water. When the Verse:
"By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness); it means here Allāh's Reward i.e., Paradise), unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love..." (V.3:92) Abū Ṭalḥa got up and said, "O Allāh's Messenger, Allāh says:-
'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love...' (V.3:92) and the most beloved of my property to me is the Bairuhā' garden, so I give it as a charitable gift in Allāh's Cause and hope to receive its reward from Allāh. O Allāh's Messenger! Dispose it of (i.e., utilize it) in the way Allāh orders you (to dispose it of)." Allāh Messenger ﷺ said, "Bravo! That is a fruitful property! That is a fruitful property! I have heard what you have said and I think it would be proper if you distribute that (garden) amongst your relatives." Then Abū Talha distributed that garden amongst his relatives and his cousins. Narrated Yahyā bin Yahyā: I learnt from Mālik, "... a fruitful property." (See H. 1461)
