Chapter Introduction

۳۷ ـ باب في الإِنَّْفاق مما يحب ومن الجيد
الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ آلِ عِمۡرَانَ (3:92)
لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُوا مِن شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ
( سُورَةُ آلِ عِمۡرَانَ (3:92) )

Translation: " By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness-here it means Allah's Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of that which you love; and whatever of good you spend, Allah knows it well. * " (3: 92) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:267)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنفِقُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَن تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ
( سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:267) )

Translation: " O you who believe! Spend of the good things that you have (legitimately) earned, and of what We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, (though) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein. And know that Allah is Rich (Free of all needs), and Worthy of all praise. * " (2: 267)

Hadith 172: Hadith 172

۱۷۲ - وعنه رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : كانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَكْثَرَ الأَنْصَارِ بالمَدِينَةِ مالَا من نَخْلِ ، وَكَانَ أَحَبَ أَمْوَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ بَيْرُحَاءَ ، وَكَانَتْ مُسْتَقْبِلَةَ المَسْجِدِ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْخُلُهَا ، وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَاءٍ فِيهَا طَيِّبٍ . قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ : لَن تَنَالُوا البِرَّ حَتَّى تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ . قَامَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ لَن تَنَالُوا البِرَّ حتَّى تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّون . ( . وَإِن أَحَبَّ أَمْوَالِي إِلَى بَيْرُحَاءَ ، وَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ اللَّهِ ، أَرْجُو برْهَا وَذُخْرَهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ ، فَضَعْهَا ، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، حَيْثُ أَرَاكَ اللَّهُ . قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله : ( بَحْ ، ذلك مالٌ رَابِحٌ ، ذلِكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ ، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا قُلْتَ ، وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهَا فِي الأَقْرَبِينَ ) . فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : أَفْعَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَسَمَهَا أبُو طَلْحَة في أقاربهِ وَبَنِي عَمه . رواه البخاري

Translation: 172. Narrated Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abu-Talha: ' I heard Anas ibn Malek saying: " Abu-Talha owned more date-palm trees (gardens) than any other amongst Al Ansar in Madina and the most beloved of them to him was the Bayroha ' garden, that was in front of the Prophet's mosque of the. Allah's Messenger used to go there and he used to drink its nice water. " Anas added: " Upon the revelation of the verses: " By no means shall you attain righteousness (here it means Allah's Reward) unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of what you love. And whatever of good you spend, Allah knows it well; * " (رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ : 92) Abu-Talha said to Allah's Messenger: ' O Allah's Messenger! Allah, the Blessed, the Superior says: " By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of what you love. And whatever of good you spend, Allah knows it well. * " No doubt, the Bayroha ' garden is the most beloved of all my property to me. So I want to give it in charity for Allah's Cause, expecting its reward from Allah. O Allah's Messenger! Spend it however you will. ' At that Allah's Messenger said: ' Well said! It is a useful property. I have heard what you have said (O Abu-Talhah), and I think it would be proper if you give it to your kith and kin. Abu-Talha said: ' I will do so, O Allah's Messenger. ' Then Abu-Talha distributed that garden amongst his relatives and his cousins. "
