When my father died he owed a Jew thirty Awsuq (of dates). I requested him to give me respite for repaying but he refused. I requested Allah's Apostle (SAW) to intercede with the Jew. Allah's Apostle (SAW) went to the Jew and asked him to accept the fruits of my trees in place of the debt but the Jew refused. Allah's Apostle (SAW) entered the garden of the date-palms, wandering among the trees and ordered me (saying), "Pluck (the fruits) and give him his due." So, I plucked the fruits for him after the departure of Allah's Apostle (SAW) and gave his thirty Awsuq, and still had seventeen Awsuq extra for myself. Jabir said: I went to Allah's Apostle (SAW) to inform of what had happened, but found him praying the 'Asr prayer. After the prayer I told him about the extra fruits which remained.

Allah's Messenger said, " Horses are kept for one of three purposes; for some people they are a source of reward, for some others they are a means of shelter (livelyhood) and for some others they are a source of sins. The one for whom they are a source of reward, is he who keeps a horse for Allah's Cause (i.e. Jihad) tying it with a long tether on a meadow or in a garden with the result that whatever it eats from the area of the meadow or the garden where it is tied will be counted as good deeds for his benefit, and if it should break its rope and jump over one or two hillocks then all its dung and its foot marks will be written as good deeds for him; and if it passes by a river and drinks water from it even though he had no intention of watering it, even then he will get the reward for its drinking. As for the man for whom horses are a source of sins, he is the one who keeps a horse for the sake of pride and show-off and showing enmity for Muslims: such a horse will be a source of sins for him. When Allah's Apostle (SAW) was asked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing has been revealed to me about them except this unique, comprehensive Verse: "'So whoever does a good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it.

Abu Talha was the richest man in Medina amongst the Ansar and Beeruha (garden) was the most beloved of his property, and it was situated opposite the mosque (of the Prophet (SAW).). Allah's Apostle (SAW) used to enter it and drink from its sweet water. When the following Divine Verse were revealed: 'you will not attain righteousness till you spend in charity of the things you love' (3.93), Abu Talha got up in front of Allah's Apostle (SAW) and said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! Allah says in His Book, 'You will not attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) that which you love,' and verily, the most beloved to me of my property is Beeruha (garden), so I give it in charity and hope for its reward from Allah. O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! Spend it wherever you like." Allah's Apostle (SAW) appreciated that and said, "That is perishable wealth, that is perishable wealth. I have heard what you have said; I suggest you to distribute it among your relatives." Abu Talha said, "I will do so, O Allah's Apostle (SAW)." So, Abu Talha distributed it among his relatives and cousins. The sub-narrator (Malik) said: The Prophet (SAW) said: "That is a profitable wealth," instead of "perishable wealth."

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "Keeping horses may be a source of reward to some (men), a shelter to another (i.e., means of earning one's living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse will be a source of reward is the one who keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare it for holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a garden). He will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it to eat in the pasture or the garden, and if that horse breaks its rope and crosses one or two hills, then all its foot-steps and its dung will be counted as good deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a river and drinks from it, then that will also be regarded as a good deed for its owner even if he has had no intention of watering it then. Horses are a shelter from poverty to the second person who keeps horses for earning his living so as not to ask others, and at the same time he gives Allah's right (i.e. Rakat) (from the wealth he earns through using them in trading etc.), and does not overburden them. He who keeps horses just out of pride and for showing off and as a means of harming the Muslims, his horses will be a source of sins to him." When Allah's Apostle (SAW) was asked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding them except this general unique Verse 'So whosoever does a good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight if an atom (or a small ant), shall see it'."
