١٤٦١. Narrated Ishaq bin 'Abdullāh bin Abī Ṭalḥa: I heard Anas bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ saying, "Abū Ṭalḥa had more property of date-palm trees (gardens) than any other amongst the Anṣār in Al-Madīna, and the most beloved of them to him was Bairuḥā' garden, and it was in front of the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to go there and used to drink its nice water." Anas added, "When these Verses were revealed: 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness — here it means Allāh's reward i.e., Paradise) unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love...' (V.3:92) Abū Ṭalḥa said to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ 'O Allāh's Messenger! Allāh, the Blessed, the Superior says: By no means shall you attain Al-Birr unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love. And no doubt, Bairuḥā' garden is the most beloved of all my property to me. So, I want to give it in charity in Allāh's Cause. I expect its reward from Allāh. O Allāh's Messenger ﷺ! Spend it where Allāh makes you think it feasible.' On that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, 'Bravo! It is useful property. I have heard what you have said (O Abū Ṭalḥa), and I think it would be proper if you gave it to your kith and kin.' Abū Ṭalḥa said, 'I will do so, O Allāh's Messenger.' Then Abū Ṭalḥa distributed that garden amongst his relatives and his cousins."
