Hadith 5399
I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) drinking milk. He came to my house and I milked a sheep and then mixed the
milk with water from the well for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He took the bowl and drank while on his left there
was sitting Abu Bakr, and on his right there was a bedouin. He then gave the remaining milk to the
bedouin and said, "The right! The right (first).

Abu Talha had the largest number of datepalms from amongst the Ansars of Medina. The dearest of
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 Book 74, Hadith 37

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of his companions entered upon an Ansari man and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him,
"If you have water kept overnight in a water skin, (give us), otherwise we will drink water by putting
our mouth in it." The man was watering his garden then. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have water
kept overnight; let us go to the shade." So he took them both there and poured water into a bowl and
milked a domestic goat of his in it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) drank, and then the man who had come along with
him, drank. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 74, Hadith 39
