Sayyiduna Talhah bin Yahya narrates from his grandmother, Sayyidah Su'da bint Awf al-Murriyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), that Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me and I found him sorrowful. I asked: "What is the matter, that I see your face downcast? Has something from our side displeased you?" He said: "No, by Allah! Nothing from you has displeased me; you are the best of companions in life. The real matter is that a great deal of wealth has gathered with me (and that is why I am troubled)." She said: "Then distribute it among your household and your people." She (the narrator) said: So he did just that. I asked the treasurer how much wealth he had distributed. He told me: "Four hundred thousand (dirhams)." And his daily income was a full thousand (dirhams). For this reason he was called "Talhah al-Fayyad" (the overflowingly generous).
