Ibn ʿAwn also narrated the report from Muḥammad (2), but he transmitted it as an unattached (mursal) tradition.

Anas said: Abū Ṭalḥah owned more date-palm wealth in Madinah than any other man of the Helpers. He declared, “Messenger of Allah, the property I love most is Bayruḥā’. I now give it as charity for Allah’s sake, hoping for its reward and the treasure it will store up for me. Dispose of it, Messenger of Allah, wherever Allah shows you.” He replied, “Splendid! That is sound, profitable wealth. In my view you should distribute it among your nearest relatives (3).”

Ḥumayd narrated from Anas: After the Prophet ﷺ passed away, Abū Ṭalḥah never broke his fast except when travelling or ill (4).

Qatādah and Ḥumayd both narrated from Anas: Abū Ṭalḥah would eat hailstones while fasting and say, “They are neither food nor drink; they are simply a blessing.”
