Bayhaqi 11920 — Charity to close relatives

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَخْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَكْثَرَ أَنْصَارِيٍّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَالًا مِنْ نَخْلٍ، وَكَانَتْ أَحَبَّ أَمْوَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ بِئْرٌ تُسَمَّى بَيْرُحَاءَ، وَكَانَتْ مُسْتَقْبِلَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْخُلُهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَاءٍ كَانَ فِيهَا طَيِّبٍ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ} [آل عمران: ٩٢]، قَالَ: قَامَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ {لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ} [آل عمران: ٩٢]، وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ مَالِي إِلِيَّ بَيْرُحَاءُ، وَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ للَّهِ أَرْجُو بِرَّهَا وَذُخْرَهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ، فَضَعْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَيْثُ أَرَاكَ اللهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ذَلِكَ مَالٌ رَائِحٌ، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا قُلْتَ، وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهَا فِي الْأَقْرَبِينَ "، قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: أَفْعَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَسَمَهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فِي أَقَارِبِهِ أَوْ بَنِي عَمِّهِ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ: يَعْنِي بِالْمَالِ الرَّائِحِ الَّذِي يَغْدُو بِخَيْرٍ وَيَرُوحُ بِخَيْرٍ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ..
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) was the wealthiest of the Ansar of Madinah, and among his most beloved properties was 'Bi'r Bayraha'' (the well of Bayraha'); it was facing the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to enter it and drink of its pure water. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When this verse was revealed: "You will never attain righteousness until you spend from what you love." [Surah Al Imran: 92], Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Allah says: 'You will never attain righteousness until you spend from what you love.' [Surah Al Imran: 92] And my most beloved property is 'Bi'r Bayraha'' (the well of Bayraha'). It is charity for Allah; I hope for its reward and that it will be a treasure stored with Allah Almighty. O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Take it and (place it) wherever Allah commands you." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is 'mal ra'ih' (a wealth that brings comfort), and I have heard what you said. I think that you should distribute it among your relatives." Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will do (so), O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!" Then Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed it among his relatives and his cousins.
Isma'il (may Allah have mercy on him) says: A wealth that brings comfort is one that brings good in the morning and good in the evening.
