[2315] 42 - (998) Anas bin Mâlik said: "Abû Talhah was the wealthiest of the Anṣâr in Al-Maḏinah, and the most beloved of his property to him was (a garden called) Bairahâ', which was opposite the Masjid. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to enter it and drink of fresh water there."
Anas said: "When this verse - By no means shall you attain Al-Birr...[1] - was revealed, Abû Talhah got up and went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, says in His Book: By no means
shall you attain Al-Birr[1] ...the dearest of my property to me is Bairahâ, and it is charity (that I give) for the sake of Allâh, hoping that its reward will be stored up with Allâh. Dispose of it, O Messenger of Allâh, as you wish.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Well done! That is a profitable deal, that is a profitable deal. I have heard what you say, and I think that you should share it among your relatives.' So Abû Talhah divided it among his relatives and his cousins."
