Sahih Muslim Book - 25, Hadith - 4224

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمُ بْنُ أَخْضَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَصَابَ عُمَرُ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ فَأَتَى النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَسْتَأْمِرُهُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى أَصَبْتُ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ لَمْ أُصِبْ مَالاً قَطُّ هُوَ أَنْفَسُ عِنْدِى مِنْهُ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِى بِهِ قَالَ « إِنْ شِئْتَ حَبَسْتَ أَصْلَهَا وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِهَا ». قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عُمَرُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُبَاعُ أَصْلُهَا وَلاَ يُبْتَاعُ وَلاَ يُورَثُ وَلاَ يُوهَبُ. قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ عُمَرُ فِى الْفُقَرَاءِ وَفِى الْقُرْبَى وَفِى الرِّقَابِ وَفِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَالضَّيْفِ لاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ وَلِيَهَا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ صَدِيقًا غَيْرَ مُتَمَوِّلٍ فِيهِ. قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدًا فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ غَيْرَ مُتَمَوِّلٍ فِيهِ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالاً. قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ وَأَنْبَأَنِى مَنْ قَرَأَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ أَنَّ فِيهِ غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالاً.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "'Umar was given a share of land in Khaibar, and he came to the Prophet (s.a.w) to consult him about it. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, 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 Allah 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: "I narrated this Hadith to Muhammad, when I reached the words "without storing anything for the future," Muhammad 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."'
