Fayyaz is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “constant doer of good deeds”, “giver of great charity”. It is derived fro the F-Y-DHAD- Quranic root (overflow, flood), being an idiom for a person from whom charity and good deeds come in great numbers. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him and his companions, used Fayyaz as a nickname for Talha bin Ubaidullah after Talha bought a water well and gave it away to people for charity.
