Sahih al-Bukhari 5611

Hadith text

Narrated Anas bin Malik:Abu Talha had the largest number of datepalms from amongst the Ansars of Medina. The dearest of his property to him was Bairuha garden which was facing the (Prophet's) Mosque. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter it and drink of its good fresh water. When the Holy Verse:-- 'By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) of that which you love.' (3.92) was revealed, Abu Talha got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah says: By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you spend of that which you love,' and the dearest of my property to me is the Bairuha garden and I want to give it in charity in Allah's Cause, seeking to be rewarded by Allah for that. So you can spend it, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), where-ever Allah instructs you. ' Allah's Apostle said, "Good! That is a perishable (or profitable) wealth" (`Abdullah is in doubt as to which word was used.) He said, "I have heard what you have said but in my opinion you'd better give it to your kith and kin." On that Abu Talha said, "I will do so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Abu Talha distributed that garden among his kith and kin and cousins

Anas bin Malik bataate hain: Abu Talha ke paas Madina ke Ansaaron mein sabse zyaada khajoor ke darakht the. Unki sabse pyaari jaayadaad Bairuha baagh thi, jo Nabi (SAW) ki Masjid ke saamne thi. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) usmein daakhil hote aur uske achhe taaze paani se piya karte. Jab ye paak Aayat naazil hui, 'Tum kabhi neki tak nahi pahunch sakte jab tak us cheez mein se kharch na karo jo tumhein pyaari hai' (3.92), Abu Talha khade hue aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Allah farmaata hai, "Tum kabhi neki tak nahi pahunch sakte jab tak us cheez mein se kharch na karo jo tumhein pyaari hai," aur meri sabse pyaari jaayadaad Bairuha baagh hai, aur main use Allah ki raah mein sadqa dena chahta hoon, iske badle mein Allah se ajr ki ummeed rakhte hue. To aap ise, Aye Allah ke Rasool, jahaan bhi Allah aapko hukm de, kharch kar sakte hain.' Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Wah! Ye ek naashwaan (ya munaafabakhsh) daulat hai.' (Ravi Abdullah ko shak hai ke kaunsa lafz istemaal hua tha.) Unhone kaha, 'Maine jo tumne kaha wo sun liya hai, magar meri raay mein tumhein ye apne rishtedaaron ko dena chaahiye.' Isper Abu Talha ne kaha, 'Main aisa hi karunga, Aye Allah ke Rasool!' Abu Talha ne wo baagh apne rishtedaaron aur chachazaad bhaiyon mein baant diya.
