Hadith 2358

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr that aman from the Ansar was praying in a garden of his in Quff, one of thevalleys of Madina, during the date season and the palms' branches wereweighed down with fruit on all sides. He looked at them and what hesaw of their fruits amazed him. Then he went back to his prayer and hedid not know how much he had prayed. He said, "A trial has befallen mein this property of mine." So he went toUthman ibn Affan, who was thekhalifa at the time, and mentioned it to him and said, "It is sadaqa,so give it away in the paths of good." Uthman ibn Affan sold it forfifty thousand and so that property became known as the Fifty.
