3627. It was narrated from Sufyân Ath-Thawrî, from Ibn 'Awn, from Nâfi', from Ibn 'Umar, from 'Umar, that he said: "I was allocated some land of Khaibar. I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'I have acquired some land and I have never acquired any wealth that is dearer to me or more precious than it.' He said: 'If you wish, you can give it in charity.'" So he gave it in charity on condition that it would not be bought or given away, for the poor, relatives, slaves, guests and wayfarers. And there is no sin on the administrator if he eats from it or feeds others on a reasonable basis, with no intention of becoming wealthy from it. (Sahîh)

Commentary
Behold the selflessness of 'Umar ﷺ. He endowed his most precious property in the way of Allâh. Only such people attain high ranks. May Allâh be pleased with him and he be with Him.
