320- Abu Talhah was the wealthiest of the Ansar in Medina in terms of palm groves. His most prized possession was Bayruha, a garden facing the mosque where the Messenger of Allah would often enter to drink from its sweet water. When the verse, 'You will not attain righteousness until you spend from that which you love,' was revealed, Abu Talhah went to the Prophet and said, 'Messenger of Allah, Allah says that we will not attain righteousness until we spend from what we love. Bayruha is the most beloved of my wealth, and I give it as charity for the sake of Allah. I hope for its reward with Him, so use it as Allah guides you.'
