5611. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Abū Ṭalḥa had the largest number of date-palms from amongst the Anṣār of Al-Madīna. The dearest of his property to him was Bairuhā garden which was facing the (Prophet's) Mosque. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to enter it and drink of its good fresh water. When the Holy 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) was revealed, Abū Ṭalḥa got up and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Allāh says: 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness – it means here Allāh's Reward, i.e., Paradise) unless you spend of that which you love? And the most dear property to me is the Bairuhā garden and I want to give it in charity in Allāh's Cause, seeking to be rewarded by Allāh for that. So you can spend it, O Allāh's Messenger, wherever Allāh instructs you." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Good! That is a perishable (or profitable) wealth." ('Abdullāh) is in doubt as to which word was used.) He said, "I have heard what you have said, but in my opinion you'd better give it to your kith and kin." On that Abū Ṭalḥa said, "I will do so, O Allāh's Messenger!" Abū Ṭalḥa distributed that garden among his kith and kin and cousins.
