وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ سورة آل عمران آية 92 جَاءَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ سورة آل عمران آية 92 وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ أَمْوَالِي إِلَيَّ بَيْرُحَاءَ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَتْ حَدِيقَةً كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَدْخُلُهَا وَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَهِيَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْجُو بِرَّهُ وَذُخْرَهُ فَضَعْهَا أَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَيْثُ أَرَاكَ اللَّهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَخْ يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ذَلِكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ قَبِلْنَاهُ مِنْكَ وَرَدَدْنَاهُ عَلَيْكَ ، فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي الْأَقْرَبِينَ ، فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ عَلَى ذَوِي رَحِمِهِ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ مِنْهُمْ أُبَيٌّ ، وَحَسَّانُ ، قَالَ : وَبَاعَ حَسَّانُ حِصَّتَهُ مِنْهُ مِنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : تَبِيعُ صَدَقَةَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا أَبِيعُ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ دَرَاهِمَ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ الْحَدِيقَةُ فِي مَوْضِعِ قَصْرِ بَنِي حُدَيْلَةَ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ " .
Narrated Anas (ra): When the Holy Verse: 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, it means here Allah's Reward i.e., Paradise), unless you spend of that which you love..', (V 3:92) was revealed, Abu Talha went to Allah's Messenger (saws) and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Allah, the Blessed, the Superior stated in His book: 'By no means shall you attain Birr, unless you spend of that which you love....' (V 3:92) and the most beloved property to me is Bairuha' (which was a garden where Allah's Messenger (saws) used to go to sit in its shade and drink from its water). I gave it to the Allah and His Messenger (saws) hoping for Allah's Reward in the Hereafter. So, Ao Allah's Messenger ! Use it as Allah orders you to use it." Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "Bravo! O Abu Talha, it is fruitful property. We have accepted it from you and now we return it to you. Distribute it amongst you relatives." So, Abu Talha distributed it amongst his relatives, amongst whom were Ubai and Hassan. When Hassan sold his share of that garden to Mu'awiyya, he was asked, "How do you see Abu Talha's Sadaqa?" He replied, "Who should not I sell a Sa' of date for Sa' of money ?" The garden was situated on the courtyard of the palace of Bani Jadila built by Mu'awiya.

Hadith Commentary:
The translation of the chapter is derived from the fact that Abu Talhah appointed the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as his agent; the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) accepted his charity and then returned it to him, instructing him to distribute it among his relatives.
Hazrat Hassan (radi Allahu anhu) sold his share to Hazrat Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu). When people objected, he (Hassan) said: “Why should I not sell a sa‘ (measure) of dates for a sa‘ of silver coins?”—meaning, where else would I get such a price? It is as if the dates were being sold for their weight in silver.
It is said that only Hassan’s (radi Allahu anhu) share in that garden was purchased by Hazrat Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu) for one hundred thousand dirhams.
Since Abu Talhah had endowed this garden to specific people, it was therefore permissible for them to sell their share.
Some have said that Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu), at the time of endowing it to those people, stipulated the condition that if they were in need, they could sell it; otherwise, the sale of endowed property is not permissible. Hafiz Sahib details the matter of Qasr Bani Hadilah as follows:
“As for Qasr Bani Hadilah—with a ha’ muhmala (soft ‘h’), in diminutive form—and it is an error of whoever narrated it with a jim (hard ‘j’). It was attributed to them (Bani Hadilah) due to proximity, otherwise, the one who built it was Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan. Banu Hadilah, with a ha’ muhmala in diminutive, are a clan from the Ansar; they are the descendants of Muawiyah ibn Amr ibn Malik al-Najjar, who used to reside in that area, so it became associated with them. When Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu) purchased Hassan’s (radi Allahu anhu) share, he built this fortress there, which became known as Qasr Bani Hadilah. This is mentioned by Amr ibn Shaybah and others in Akhbar al-Madinah. The garden in question belonged to them, but it was not endowed to them; otherwise, if it had been endowed, it would not have been permissible for Hassan to sell it. It is mentioned in Akhbar al-Madinah by Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Makhzumi, through the narration of Abu Bakr ibn Hazm, that the price of Hassan’s share was one hundred thousand dirhams, which he received from Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan.” (Summary of Fath al-Bari)
And as for Qasr Bani Hadilah, it is with a ha’ muhmala, and whoever narrated it with a jim, that is his error.
It was attributed to Bani Hadilah due to their proximity, otherwise, the builder was Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan, and Bani Hadilah are a clan of the Ansar.
They are the descendants of Muawiyah ibn Amr ibn Malik al-Najjar, who used to live there, so it became associated with them.
Thus, when Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu) purchased Hassan’s (radi Allahu anhu) share, he built this fortress there, which became known as Qasr Bani Hadilah.
This is mentioned by Amr ibn Shaybah and others in Akhbar al-Madinah; Hassan (radi Allahu anhu) sold his share to Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu).
From this, it is established that if it had been endowed to them, Hassan would not have been able to sell it. And in Akhbar al-Madinah, it is mentioned that Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu) paid Hassan (radi Allahu anhu) one hundred thousand dirhams for his share.
Allamah Qastallani (rahimahullah) says:
“And another answered that when Abu Talhah endowed it, he stipulated the permissibility of their selling it in case of need. With this condition, some have said it is permissible, and Allah knows best.” That is, when Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu) endowed it, he permitted them to sell it in case of need, and with this condition, the endowment is valid.
Some have transmitted the word Hadilah with a jim as Jadilah.
Some have said that the correct form is with a ha’ muhmala as Hadilah, and Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu) appointed the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as his agent and handed over the garden to him. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) accepted it and then returned it to him, saying:
“You should distribute it among your close relatives.”
(2)
In this narration, it is mentioned that Hassan (radi Allahu anhu) sold his share to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu), upon which people objected. He replied:
“Now the dates are being sold in exchange for silver, meaning when will such a high price ever be obtained again?”
It is said that Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu) bought his share for one hundred thousand dirhams.
Since Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu) had endowed this garden to specific people, it was permissible for them to sell their share.
It is also said that when Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu) endowed it to those people, he stipulated the condition that if they needed, they could sell it; otherwise, selling an endowment (waqf) is not valid because ownership is not transferred in waqf.
And Allah knows best.
