بَابُ التَّرْغِيبِ فِي الصَّدَقَةِEncouragement for Charity
Hadith 1836
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ إِسْحَاق بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَكْثَرَ أَنْصَارِيٍّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَالًا مِنْ نَخْلٍ، وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ أَمْوَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ بَيْرُحَاءَ وَكَانَتْ مُسْتَقْبِلَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْخُلُهَا، وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَاءٍ فِيهَا طَيِّبٍ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَلَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ سورة آل عمران آية 92، قَامَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ : لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ سورة آل عمران آية 92، وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ أَمْوَالِي إِلَيَّ بَيْرُحَاءَ وَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ لِلَّهِ أَرْجُو بِرَّهَا وَذُخْرَهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ، فَضَعْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَخٍ، ذَلِكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ ذَلِكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا قُلْتَ فِيهِ، وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهَا فِي الْأَقْرَبِينَ "، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : أَفْعَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَسَمَهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فِي أَقَارِبِهِ وَبَنِي عَمِّهِ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) was the wealthiest among the Ansar in Madinah, meaning he had the most date palm trees, and among all his wealth, he loved a garden called Bairuha the most, which was situated opposite the Prophet’s Mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go there and drink its pure water. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when this verse was revealed «﴿لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتّٰى تُنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا تُحِبُّوْنَ﴾ (آل عمران : 92)» meaning: "You will never attain righteousness until you spend from that which you love," Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, says: «﴿لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتّٰى تُنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا تُحِبُّوْنَ﴾» and among all my wealth, I love Bairuha the most; I give it as charity in the way of Allah. I seek its goodness and reward from Allah, and Bairuha is a treasure with Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Well done! This wealth is a source of great reward, or a source of great profit, and I have heard what you have said about this wealth. In my opinion, you should distribute this wealth among your relatives." Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I will distribute it. Then Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed it among his relatives and the sons of his paternal uncles.
