Sunan an-Nasai 3602 (Book 29, Hadith 9) #18216
Generosity of Abu Talha

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Abu Talha's generosity and how he gave his land to Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised him to give it to his relatives.

It was narrated that Anas said: "When this Verse was revealed -'By no means shall you attain Al Birr (piety, righteousness--here it means Allah's reward, ie Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah's cause) of that which you love'- Abu Talha said: 'Our Lord will ask us about our wealth. I adjure you, O Messenger of Allah! I am giving my land to Allah'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Make it for your relatives, Hassan bin Thabit and Ubayy bin Ka'b'."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏ لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ‏}‏ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَيَسْأَلُنَا عَنْ أَمْوَالِنَا فَأُشْهِدُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَرْضِي لِلَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ اجْعَلْهَا فِي قَرَابَتِكَ فِي حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the generosity of Abu Talha. When a verse from the Quran was revealed that said “By no means shall you attain Al Birr (piety, righteousness--here it means Allah's reward, ie Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah's cause) of that which you love” Abu Talha decided to give away his wealth in charity. He asked the Prophet Muhammad for advice on what he should do with it and the Prophet advised him to give it away as charity for his relatives Hassan bin Thabit and Ubayy bin Ka'b. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous with our wealth by giving charity or helping out our family members in need. We should not be selfish with our money but instead use it for good causes like helping those who are less fortunate than us or donating money towards a charitable cause.
