Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي حَائِطٍ لَهُ فَطَارَدَ بِشَيْءٍ فَطَفِقَ يَتَرَدَّدُ يَلْتَمِسُ مَخْرَجًا فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ فَجَعَلَ يُتْبِعُهُ بَصَرَهُ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى فَقَالَ لَقَدْ أَصَابَنِي فِي مَالِي هَذَا فِتْنَةٌ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُ فِي حَائِطِهِ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هُوَ صَدَقَةٌ فَضَعْهُ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ
English Translation
Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr narrated that Abu Talhah al-Ansari was praying in his garden when a bird flew around in it, going back and forth looking for a way out, and it impressed him. He followed it with his gaze for a while, then he returned to his prayer and found that he did not know how many rak'ahs he had prayed. He said: 'My property has caused me a trial.' So he went to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and mentioned to him the trial he experienced in his garden. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, it is a charity, so place it wherever you wish.'
