love.” (3.92) Abu Talha got up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle, Allah says:–“By no means shall you attain
righteousness unless you spend (in charity) of that which you love.” (3.92) and the most beloved of
my property to me is the Bairuha garden, so I give it (as a charitable gift) in Allah’s Cause and hope
to receive good out of it, and to have it stored for me with Allah. So, O Allah’s Apostle! Dispose it of
(i.e. utilize it) in the way Allah orders you (to dispose it of).” Allah’s Apostle said, “Bravo! That is a
fruitful property! That is a fruitful property! I have heard what you have said and I think that you
should distribute that (garden) amongst your relatives.” The Abu Talha distributed that garden
amongst his relatives and his cousins.

“What do you think about this Verse:–“Does any of you wish that he should have a garden?” They
replied, “Allah knows best.” ‘Umar became angry and said, “Either say that you know or say that you
do not know!” On that Ibn Abbas said, “O chief of the believers! I have something in my mind to say
about it.” Umar said, “O son of my brother! Say, and do not under estimate yourself.” Ibn Abbas said,
“This Verse has been set up as an example for deeds.” Umar said, “What kind of deeds?” Ibn Abbas
said, “For deeds.” Umar said, “This is an example for a rich man who does goods out of obedience of
Allah and then Allah sends him Satan whereupon he commits sins till all his good deeds are lost.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Umar:
The Jews brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from among them who had committed illeg –
al sexual intercourse. The Prophet said to them, “How do you usually punish the one amongst you
who has committed illegal sexual intercourse?” They replied, “We blacken their faces with coal and
beat them,” He said, “Don’t you find the order of Ar-Rajm (i.e. stoning to death) in the Torah?” They
replied, “We do not find anything in it.” ‘Abdullah bin Salam (after hearing this conversation) said to
them. “You have told a lie! Bring here the Torah and recite it if you are truthful.” (So the Jews
brought the Torah). And the religious teacher who was teaching it to them, put his hand over the
Verse of Ar-Rajm and started reading what was written above and below the place hidden with his
hand, but he did not read the Verse of Ar-Rajm. ‘Abdullah bin Salam removed his (i.e. the teacher’s)
hand from the Verse of Ar-Rajm and said, “What is this?” So when the Jews saw that Verse, they said,
“This is the Verse of Ar-Rajm.” So the Prophet ordered the two adulterers to be stoned to death, and
they were stoned to death near the place where biers used to be placed near the Mosque. I saw her
companion (i.e. the adulterer) bowing over her so as to protect her from the stones.
