Muwatta 262

A report that Malik transmits from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr (may God be pleased with him), in the chapter on looking during prayer at what distracts you: a man of the Ansar prayed in his garden at al-Quff, one of the valleys of Medina, in the season of fruit, when the palms hung heavy with their dates. He looked at them, was taken with what he saw, and then returned to his prayer without knowing how many rak'as he had prayed. He said his property had brought him a trial, so he came to Uthman ibn Affan (may God be pleased with him), who was caliph that day, told him, and Uthman made it a charity in the paths of good. Uthman sold it for fifty thousand, and that property came to be called "the fifty". The editor notes that Abu Mus'ab and Suwayd transmitted it. ^{1 2}
