Volume 3, Book 38, Number 511:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
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
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 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 Al –
lah’s Apostle! Spend it wherever you like.” Allah’s Apostle appreciated that and said, “That is perish –
able 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 said: “That is a profit –
able wealth,” instead of “perishable wealth”.
