عن أنس رضي الله عنه

قال: كان أبو طلحة رضي الله عنه أكثر الأنصار بالمدينة مالاً من نخل، وكان أحب أمواله إليه بيرحاء، وكانت مستقبلة المسجد، وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يدخلها ويشرب من ماء فيها طيب قال أنس: فلما نزلت هذه الآية: «لن تنالوا البر حتى تنفقوا مما تحبون» قام أبو طلحة إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يارسول إن الله تعالى أنزل عليك: «لن تنالوا البر حتى تنفقوا مما تحبون» وإن أحب مالي إلي بيرحاء، وإنها صدقة لله تعالى أرجو برها وذخرها عند الله تعالى، فضعها يا رسول الله حيث أراك الله، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «بخٍ!

ذلك مال رابح، ذلك مال رابح، وقد سمعت: ما قلت، وإني أرى أن تجعلها في الأقربين«فقال أبو طلحة: أفعل يا رسول الله، فقسمها أبو طلحة في أقاربه، وبني عمه»

Abu Talhah (radiyallahu anhu) was the richest among the Ansar of Al-Madinah and possessed the largest property from palm-trees, and among his possessions what he loved most, was his garden known as Bairuha which was opposite the mosque, and Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) often visited it and drank from its fresh water.

When this Ayah was revealed: “By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness – here it means Allah’s reward, i.e., Jannah), unless you spend (in Allah’s Cause) of that which you love,” (Ali ‘Imran 3:92), Abu Talhah came to Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said, ‘Allah says in His Book: ‘By no means shall you attain Al-Birr, unless you spend (in Allah’s Cause) of that which you love,’ and the dearest of my property is Bairuha so I have given it as Sadaqah (charity) for Allah’s sake, and I anticipate its reward with Him; so spend it, O Messenger of Allah, as Allah guides you.’

Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘Well-done! That is profit earning property. I have heard what you have said, but I think you should spend it on your nearest relatives.’ So Abu Talhah (radiyallahu anhu) distributed it among nearest relatives and cousins.’
