In his Tafsir, Waki` reported, that `Amr bin Maymun said that
﴿لَن تَنَالُواْ الْبِرَّ﴾
(By no means shall you attain Al-Birr) is in reference to attaining Paradise.
Imam Ahmad reported that Anas bin Malik said, "Abu Talhah had more property than
any other among the Ansar in Al-Madinah, and the most beloved of his property to
him was Bayruha' garden, which was in front of the (Messenger's) Masjid. Sometimes,
Allah's Messenger used to go to the garden and drink its fresh water.'' Anas added,
"When these verses were revealed,
﴿لَن تَنَالُواْ الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنفِقُواْ
مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ﴾
(By no means shall you attain Al-Birr unless You spend of that which you love,)
Abu Talhah said, `O Allah's Messenger! Allah says,
﴿لَن تَنَالُواْ الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنفِقُواْ
مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ﴾
(By no means shall you attain Al-Birr, unless you spend of that which you love;)
No doubt, Bayruha' garden is the most beloved of all my property to me. So I want
to give it in charity in Allah's cause, and I expect its reward and compensation
from Allah. O Allah's Messenger! Spend it where Allah makes you think is feasible.
' On that, Allah's Messenger said,
«بَخٍ بَخٍ، ذَاكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ،
ذَاكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ، وَأَنَا أَرَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهَا فِي الْأَقْرَبِين»
(Well-done! It is profitable property, it is profitable property. I have heard what
you have said, and I think it would be proper if you gave it to your kith and kin.)
Abu Talhah said, `I will do so, O Allah's Messenger.' Then Abu Talhah distributed
that garden among his relatives and cousins.''
This Hadith was recorded in the Two Sahihs. They also recorded that `Umar said,
"O Messenger of Allah! I never gained possession of a piece of property more precious
to me than my share in Khaybar. Therefore, what do you command me to do with it''
The Prophet said,
«حَبِّسِ الْأَصْلَ وَسَبِّلِ الثَّمَرَة»
(Retain the land to give its fruits in Allah's cause.)
﴿كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ
كَانَ حِـلاًّ لِّبَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ إِلاَّ مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَءِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ
مِن قَبْلِ أَن تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرَاةُ قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا
إِن كُنتُمْ صَـدِقِينَ - فَمَنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ
فَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الظَّـلِمُونَ - قُلْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ فَاتَّبِعُواْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَهِيمَ
حَنِيفاً وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴾
(93. All food was lawful to the Children of Israel, except what Isra'il made unlawful
for himself before the Tawrah was revealed. Say: "Bring here the Tawrah and recite
it, if you are truthful. '') (94. Then after that, whosoever shall invent a lie
against Allah, then it is these that are the wrongdoers.) (95. Say:"Allah has spoken
the truth; follow the religion of Ibrahim the Hanif (monotheist), and he was not
of the Mushrikin (idolaters).'')
