Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): Among all the Ansar in Madinah, Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) possessed the most wealth, especially in gardens, and the most beloved of his gardens to him was called Birha’, which was situated opposite the Prophet’s Mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go there and drink from its pleasant water. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the verse (Surah Al-Imran, verse 29) was revealed: “You will never attain righteousness until you spend from that which you love,” Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) stood before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Allah, the Most Great and Exalted, says: “You will never attain righteousness until you spend from that which you love.” Indeed, the most beloved of my wealth to me is Birha’, and I give it as charity for Allah. I hope for its reward with Allah, so spend it wherever you see fit, O Messenger of Allah. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: “Well done! That is a profitable wealth, that is a profitable wealth. I have heard what you said, and I think you should distribute it among your relatives.” So Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I will do so. Thus, he distributed it among his relatives and the sons of his uncle.
