love.” (3.92) Abu Talha got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), Allah says:–“By no means shall you
attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) of that which you love.” (3.92) and the most beloved
of my property to me is the Bairuha garden, so I give it (as a charitable gift) in Allah’s Cause and hope
to receive good out of it, and to have it stored for me with Allah. So, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Dispose it of
