Talha bin Ubaidullah
Generous and Magnanimous
Among such examples, we find Talha bin Ubaidullah, may God bless his soul and be eternally pleased with him. He was generous, magnanimous, and a radiant star among the blessed companions who distanced themselves from personal satisfaction with their own deeds, and thus lightened their burdens.
Abdullah bin Ja’far narrated that ‘Aisha, God be pleased with her, used to say: “Whenever the day of the Battle of Mount Uhud was mentioned, Abu Bakr (RA) referred to it as ‘The day of Talha bin ‘Ubaidullah’.”
Abu Bakr, once said: “On the day of Uhud, Abi Ubaida al-Jarrah and myself took shelter in the shade near God’s messenger who turned to us and said: ‘Hasten to your friend!’ He meant Talha bin Ubaidullah, who was bleeding profusely, but we first took care of God’s messenger’s condition, and then we sought Talha who was lying wounded in one of the groves. When we found him, he had sustained near seventy wounds and blows, and he had lost his fingers during the battle, hence, we attended to him and nursed him the best we could.” “After the battle, when God’s messenger returned to Madinah, he stood upon the pulpit, praised God Almighty and thanked Him for His countless blessings, and he then recited: Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some have fulfilled their vows, while others await their end, yielding to no changes. (Qur’an 33:23). Someone stood up and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, who are such people?’”
Abu Bakr continued: “At that moment, Talha had just arrived in the mosque, and he was wearing a green robe under a green cloak, when God’s messenger saw him, he said, ‘O questioner, here is one of them.’
“Muhammad bin Imran narrated that Sa’dah, daughter of Awf, and wife of Talha, said: “In one day, Talha distributed one hundred thousand Dirham in charity. Some money was still left in the house, so I tied it up in his robe, and he carried it to the mosque where he distributed it in charity.”
Al-Hassan, God be pleased with him, narrated that Talha once sold a piece of land he owned for seven hundred thousand Dirhams. Talha kept the money in his house for a long sleepless night, and at sunrise, he distributed everything in charity.”
