(5). 2997. Anas said: "When this Āyah was revealed: By no means shall you attain Al-Birr unless you spend of that which you love.[2] Or, '....Who is he that will lend to Allāh a goodly loan...'[3] Abū Ṭalḥah – who had a garden – said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! My garden is for Allāh, and if I was able to keep it secret I would not make it public.' So he said: 'Keep it for your relatives' or 'your close relatives.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Mālik bin Anas reported it from Ishāq bin 'Abdullāh bin Abī Ṭalḥah from Anas bin Mālik.

Commentary
An orchard is an apparent and open property, it cannot be concealed. So it is
