As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Representation - 26th Safar 1431 (10th February 2010)
Narrated Anas bin Malik (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
Abu Talha was the richest man in Medina amongst the Ansar and Beeruha'
(garden) was the most beloved of his property, and it was situated opposite
the mosque (of the Prophet). Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)
used to enter it and drink from its sweet water. When the following Divine
Verse were revealed: 'you will not attain righteousness till you spend in
charity of the things you love' (3.93), Abu Talha got up in front of
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Allah says in His Book, 'You will not attain righteousness unless
you spend (in charity) that which you love,' and verily, the most beloved
to me of my property is Beeruha (garden), so I give it in charity and hope
for its reward from Allah. O Allah's Apostle! Spend it wherever you like."
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) appreciated that and said,
"That is perishable wealth, that is perishable wealth. I have heard what
you have said; I suggest you to distribute it among your relatives." Abu
Talha said, "I will do so, O Allah's Apostle." So, Abu Talha distributed it
among his relatives and cousins. The sub-narrator (Malik) said: The Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: "That is a profitable wealth," instead
of "perishable wealth".
