The Prophet used to enter It and drink from its fresh water. When the following Divine Verse
came:–
“By no means shall you attain piety until you spend of what you love,” (3.92)
Abu Talha got up saying. “O Allah’s Apostle! Allah says, ‘You will not attain piety until you spend
of what you love,’ and I prize above al I my wealth, Bairuha’ which I want to give in charity for Al –
lah’s Sake, hoping for its reward from Allah. So you can use it as Allah directs you.” On that the
Prophet said, “Bravo! It is a profitable (or perishable) property. (Ibn Maslama is not sure as to which
word is right, i.e. profitable or perishable.) I have heard what you have said, and I recommend that
you distribute this amongst your relatives.” On that Abu Talha said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I will do (as
you have suggested).” So, Abu Talha distributed that garden amongst his relatives and cousins.
