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." Translation Not Available

When eveningcame, the people of a house or a man who did not usually give to them,gave them a sheep and some food to go with it. A'isha, umm al-muminin,called her mawla and said, "Eat from this. This is better than yourloaf of bread." Translation Not Available
