وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ،يَقُولُ كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَكْثَرَ أَنْصَارِيٍّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَالاً مِنْ نَخْلٍ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ أَمْوَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ بَيْرُحَاءَ وَكَانَتْ مُسْتَقْبِلَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدْخُلُهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَاءٍفِيهَا طَيِّبٍ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ} قَامَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ {لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ} وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ أَمْوَالِي إِلَىَّ بَيْرُحَاءَ وَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ لِلَّهِ أَرْجُو بِرَّهَا وَذُخْرَهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَضَعْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " بَخْ ذَلِكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ ذَلِكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا قُلْتَ فِيهِ وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهَا فِي الأَقْرَبِينَ " . فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَفْعَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَسَمَهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فِي أَقَارِبِهِ وَبَنِي عَمِّهِ .


Malik related to me that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha heardAnas ibn Malik say, "Abu Talha had the greatest amount of property inpalm-trees among the Ansar in Madina. The dearest of his properties tohim was Bayruha which was in front of the mosque. The Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to go into it anddrink from the pleasant water which was in it."Anascontinued, "When this ayat was sent down 'You will not obtainrightness of action until you expend of what you love,' (Sura 2 ayatl76), Abu Talha went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah! Allah, theBlessed, the Exalted, has said, "You will not obtain until you expendof what you love." The property which I love the best is Bayruha. Itis sadaqa for Allah. I hope for its good and for it to be stored upwith Allah. Place it wherever you wish, Messengerof Allah. ' ""The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, 'Well done! That is property which profits! That is propertywhich profits. I have heard what you have said about it and I thinkthat you should give it to your relatives.' Abu Talha said, 'I will doit, Messenger of Allah!' Abu Talha therefore divided it among hisrelatives and the children of his paternal uncle."
