2878. It was reported from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar who said: “‘Umar acquired some land in Khaibar, so he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘I acquired some land and I have never acquired a property more precious than it, so what do you advise me to do with it?’ He replied: ‘If you wish institute an endowment of it and give in charity from its (profit).’ So ‘Umar gave it in charity, and stated that the property is not to be sold entirely, nor given away, nor inherited but it is (to be used) for the poor, and near kindred, and freeing slaves, and in the cause of Allāh, and for the wayfarers” — and he added from Bishr:[1] “and the guests.” Then they were in accord: “There will be no sin on the administrator of the property to eat from it within what is customary, and to feed a friend from it without making it his own property.” And he added from Bishr: “And Muḥammad[1] said: ‘Without trying to amass wealth from it.’” (Saḥīḥ)

2878 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: أَصَابَ عُمَرُ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: أَصَبْتُ أَرْضًا لَمْ أُصِبْ مَالًا قَطُّ أَنْفَسَ عِنْدِي مِنْهُ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنْ شِئْتَ حَبَّسْتَ أَصْلَهَا وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِهَا». فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عُمَرُ أَنَّهُ لَا يُبَاعُ أَصْلُهَا، وَلَا يُوهَبُ ، وَلَا يُوَرَّثُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْقُرْبَى وَالرِّقَابِ، وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَزَادَ عَنْ بِشْرٍ: «وَالضَّيْفِ»، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقُوا: لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ وَلِيَهَا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَيُطْعِمَ صَدِيقًا غَيْرَ مُتَمَوِّلٍ فِيهِ. زَادَ عَنْ بِشْرٍ قَالَ: وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالًا
