Sahih al-Bukhari 5398 (Book 74, Hadith 37)
his property to him was Bairuha garden which was facing the (Prophet’s) Mosque. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
used to enter it and drink of its good fresh water. When the Holy Verse:– ‘By no means shall you
attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) of that which you love.’ (3.92) was revealed, Abu
Talha got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah says: By no means shall you attain righteousness
unless you spend of that which you love,’ and the dearest of my property to me is the Bairuha garden
and I want to give it in charity in Allah’s Cause, seeking to be rewarded by Allah for that. So you can
spend it, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), where-ever Allah instructs you. ‘ Allah s Apostle said, “Good! That is a
perishable (or profitable) wealth” (`Abdullah is in doubt as to which word was used.) He said, “I have
heard what you have said but in my opinion you’d better give it to your kith and kin.” On that Abu
Talha said, “I will do so, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” Abu Talha distributed that garden among his kith and kin
and cousins.
Sahih al-Bukhari 5398 (Book 74, Hadith 37)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
