Hadith 5179

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، قَالَ يَحْيَى : قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ ، لَمْ أُصِبْ شَيْئًا قَطُّ هُوَ أَنْفَسَ عِنْدِي مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنْ شِئْتَ حَبَسْتَ أَصْلَهَا ، وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِهَا " قَالَ : فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا ، لَا يُبَاعُ أَصْلُهَا ، وَلَا تُوهَبُ ، وَلَا تُورَثُ ، قَالَ : فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا فِي الْفُقَرَاءِ ، وَالضَّيْفِ ، وَالرِّقَابِ ، وَفِي السَّبِيلِ ، وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ، لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ وَلِيَهَا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ، أَوْ يُطْعِمَ صَدِيقًا ، غَيْرَ مُتَمَوِّلٍ فِيهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) received a piece of land in Khyber as his share. He went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and wanted to consult him about it. So he said, "O Messenger of Allah! A piece of land from Khyber has come to me as my share, and I have never received any wealth better than this. (What do you command me regarding it?)" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If you wish, keep its original property with you and give its benefits as charity." So Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) dedicated it for the poor, close relatives, slaves, warriors, travelers, and guests, and said that there is no harm for the caretaker of this land to eat from it in a good manner or to feed a friend from it, provided he does not intend to accumulate wealth from it.
