[4224] 15 - (1632) It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "'Umar was given a share of land in Khaibar, and he came to the Prophet ﷺ to consult him about it. He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I have been given a share of land at Khaibar and I have never been given any wealth that is more precious to me than it. What do you command me to do with it?" He said: "If you wish, you can 'freeze' it and give it in charity." So 'Umar gave it in charity and stipulated that it was not to be sold, given as a gift or inherited, and he gave it in charity to the poor, relatives and slaves, for the cause of Allāh and for wayfarers and guests; and there was no sin on the one appointed to look after it if he ate from it on a reasonable basis, and fed a friend without storing anything for the future." He said:[1] "I narrated this Hadīth to Muḥammad, when I reached the words "without storing anything for the future," Muḥammad said: Without storing it with a view to becoming rich. Ibn 'Awn said: "The one who read this book, he told me, that in it are the words: 'Without storing it with a view to becoming rich.'"
