أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ السَّمَّانُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ أَصَابَ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ فَأَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَأْمِرُهُ فِي ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ حَبَّسْتَ أَصْلَهَا وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِهَا فَحَبَّسَ أَصْلَهَا أَنْ لَا تُبَاعَ وَلَا تُوهَبَ وَلَا تُورَثَ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عَلَی الْفُقَرَائِ وَالْقُرْبَی وَالرِّقَابِ وَفِي الْمَسَاکِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَالضَّيْفِ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَی مَنْ وَلِيَهَا أَنْ يَأْکُلَ مِنْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ صَدِيقَهُ غَيْرَ مُتَمَوِّلٍ فِيهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3636
It was narrated from Azhar As-Samman, from Ibn ‘Awn, from Nafi’, from Ibn ‘Umar, that ‘Umar acquired some land at Khaibar. He came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and consulted him about that. He said: “If you wish, you may ‘freeze’ it and give it in charity.” So he ‘froze’ it, stipulating that it should not be sold, given as a gift or inherited, and he gave it in charity to the poor, relatives, slaves, the needy, wayfarers and guests. There is no sin on the administrator if he eats from it on a reasonable basis or feeds a friend with no intention of becoming wealthy from it. (Sahih).
