Out of all the Ansar, living in Medina, Abu Talha had the largest number of (date palm trees) gardens,
and the most beloved of his property to him was Bairuha garden which was standing opposite the
Mosque (of the Prophet). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter it and drink of its good water. When the
Verse:--"By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) of that which you
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
(i.e. utilize it) in the way Allah orders you (to dispose it of)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Bravo! That is a
fruitful property! That is a fruitful property! I have heard what you have said and I think that you
should distribute that (garden) amongst your relatives." The Abu Talha distributed that garden
amongst his relatives and his cousins.
Narrated Yahya bin Yahya:
I learnt from Malik, "..a fruitful property."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 76
This verse was revealed (in this way):" Guard the prayers and the 'Asr prayer." We recited it (in this very way) so long as Allah desired. Allah, then, abrogated it and it was revealed:" Guard the prayers, and the middle prayer." A person who was sitting with Shaqiq (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: Now it implies the 'Asr prayer. Upon this al-Bara' said: I have already informed you how this (verse) was revealed and how Allah abrogated it, and Allah knows best.
Imam Muslim said: Ashja'i narrated it from Sufyan al-Thauri, who narrated it from al-Aswad b. Qais, who narrated it from 'Uqba, who narrated it from al-Bara' b. 'Azib who said: We recited with the Prophet (ﷺ) (the above-mentioned verse like this, i. e. instead of Salat al- Wusta, Salat al-'Asr) for a certain period. as It has been mentioned (in the above-quoted hadith).
Sahih Muslim Book 5, Hadith 262
Yahya said that Malik spoke about an investor who gave qirad
money to a man, and then the man sought a loan from the investor or
the investor borrowed money from the agent, or the investor left goods
with the agent to sell for him, or the investor gave the agent dinars
to buy goods with. Malik said, "There is no harm if the investor
leaves his goods with him knowing that if the agent did not have his
money and he had asked a similar thing of him, he would have still
done it because of the brotherhood between them or because it would
have been no bother to him and that had the agent refused that, he
would not have removed his capital from him. Or if the agent had
borrowed from the investor or carried his goods for him and he knew
that if the investor had not had his capital with him, he would have
still done the same for him, and had he refused that to him, he would
not have returned his capital to him. If that is true between both of
them and it is in the way of a favour between them and it is not a
condition in the terms of the qirad, it is permitted and there is no
harm in it. If a condition comes into it, or it is feared that the
agent is only doing it for the investor in order to safeguard the
capital in his possession, or the investor is only doing it because
the agent has taken his capital and will not return it to him, that is
not permitted in qirad and it is part of what the people of knowledge
forbid.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 32, Hadith 13
Malik related to me from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Abd ar-
Rahman ibn Abi Sasaca that Sulayman ibn Yasar said, "The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered the house of
Maimuna bint al-Harith and there was a lizard in which there were eggs
to eat. Abdullah ibn Abbas and Khalid ibn al-Walid were with him. He
said, 'From where did you get this?' She replied, 'My sister, Huzayla
bint al-Harith, gave it to me.' He then told Abdullah ibn Abbas and
Khalid to eat. They said, 'Won't you eat, Messenger of Allah?' He
said, 'There are those who visit me from Allah.' Maimuna said,
'Messenger of Allah, shall we give you some milk to drink which we
have?' He said, 'Yes.' When he drank, he said, 'From where did you get
this?' She said, 'My sister, Huzayla gave it to me.' The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Do you see your
slave-girl whom you asked me for permission to free? Give her to your
sister and bring her to your maternal relatives to take care of her.
That is better for you.' "
