Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي الْأَنْصَارِيَّ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ { لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ } أَوْ قَالَ { مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا } قَالَ جَاءَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَائِطِي الَّذِي بِمَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَوْ اسْتَطَعْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ أُسِرَّهُ لَمْ أُعْلِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اجْعَلْهُ فِي فُقَرَاءِ قَرَابَتِكَ أَوْ قَالَ فِي فُقَرَاءِ أَهْلِكَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah, that is al-Ansari, told us: Humayd told us, from Anas, who said: When this verse was revealed, {You will not attain righteousness until you spend from what you love} — or he said {Who is it that will lend Allah a goodly loan} — Abu Talha ibn Sahl al-Ansari came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my garden which is in such-and-such a place; and if I could conceal it, O Messenger of Allah, I would not have announced it." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Put it toward the poor among your relatives," or he said, "among your family."
