The Messenger of Allah used to enter it and drink of fresh water there." Anas said: "When this verse – By no means shall you attain Al- Bin-…11' – was revealed, Abü Talbah got up and went to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says in His Book: By no means Ill A1-'Imrân 3:92. shall you attain Al-Birr111 …the dearest of my property to me is Bairahâ', and it is charity (that I give) for the sake of Allah, hoping that its reward will be stored up with Allah. Dispose of it, 0 Messenger of Allah, as you wish.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Well done! That is a profitable deal, that is a profitable deal. I have heard what you say, and I think that you should share it among your relatives.' So Abü Talbah divided it among his relatives and his cousins."
