good Muslim to perform the
salah
,
paying attention to none but Allah.
That very night he went to visit
Nabi
Muhammad [s]. He told the Blessed
Prophet all about his garden, the
date palms, the gurgling stream and
the beautiful bird.
“
Oh Prophet
,” he said, “
I cannot let
these things stand in the way of my
worship to Allah. So it is better not
to have them at all. Please take my
garden with all that is in it. I give it to
you to use for all the Muslims of
Madinah.
”
The Holy Prophet Muhammad [s]
graciously accepted this gift.
Abu Talhah [r] was never again dis-
tracted from the
salah
, and from
that day on, all his Prayers were
accepted by Allah.
