2879. It was narrated from Yaḥyā bin Sa‘eed, regarding the endowment of ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb, he said: “‘Abdul-Ḥamīd bin ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb copied it (the document) for me: ‘In the Name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. This is what the worshiper of Allāh, ‘Umar, has written about Thamgh.’” He narrated in the report similar to the Hadīth of Nāfi’ (no. 2878). He added: “Without amassing wealth, whatever surplus there is from its fruits, then it is for the beggars and the deprived ones.” He said: “And he cited the narration. He said: ‘If the administrator of Thamgh wishes to buy a slave from its fruits for the work then he may do so.’ It was written by Mu‘aiqīb and witnessed by ‘Abdullāh bin Al-Arqam. In the Name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. This is what has been directed by the worshiper of Allāh, ‘Umar, the Commander of the Believers, if anything happens to him, then Thamgh, Ṣirmah bin Al-Akwa’, and the slave who is there, and the hundred shares which are in (the land of) Khaibar, the slave who is there, and the hundred shares which Muḥammad ﷺ donated to him in the valley, will remain in the custody of Ḥafṣah during her lifetime, then will go in the custody of a man of insight from her family. These will neither be sold, nor purchased. It (the produce) will be spent on where he sees it is appropriate, for the beggars, the deprived ones, and those near kindred. There is no harm for the one administering to eat, feed, and buy a slave from it.”” (Hasan)
