English translation
4235. Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, were I not afraid that the other Muslims might be left in poverty, I would divide (the land of) whatever village I may conquer (among the fighters), as the Prophet ﷺ divided the land of Khaibar. But I prefer to leave it as a (source of) a common treasury for them to distribute its revenue amongst themselves.
