Ali 'Imran 3:92

<h2>Al-Birr is Spending from the Best of One's Wealth</h2><p>In his Tafsir, Waki` reported, that `Amr bin Maymun said that</p><p>لَن تَنَالُواْ الْبِرَّ</p><p>(By no means shall you attain Al-Birr) is in reference to attaining Paradise.</p><p>Imam Ahmad reported that Anas bin Malik said, "Abu Talhah had more property than any other among the Ansar in Al-Madinah, and the most beloved of his property to him was Bayruha' garden, which was in front of the (Messenger's) Masjid. Sometimes, Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to go to the garden and drink its fresh water." Anas added, "When these verses were revealed,</p><p>لَن تَنَالُواْ الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنفِقُواْ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ</p><p>(By no means shall you attain Al-Birr unless You spend of that which you love,)</p><p>Abu Talhah said, `O Allah's Messenger! Allah says,</p><p>لَن تَنَالُواْ الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنفِقُواْ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ</p><p>(By no means shall you attain Al-Birr, unless you spend of that which you love;) No doubt, Bayruha' garden is the most beloved of all my property to me. So I want to give it in charity in Allah's cause, and I expect its reward and compensation from Allah. O Allah's Messenger! Spend it where Allah makes you think is feasible. ' On that, Allah's Messenger ﷺ said,</p><p>«بَخٍ بَخٍ، ذَاكَ مَالٌ رَابِحٌ، ذَاكَ …

Ye will not attain unto piety until ye spend of that which ye love. And whatsoever ye spend, Allah is Aware thereof.

By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, of a truth Allah knoweth it well.

By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, etc., it means here Allah's Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of that which you love; and whatever of good you spend, Allah knows it well.

You will not attain virtuous conduct until you give of what you cherish. Whatever you give away, God is aware of it.
