حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَصَابَ عُمَرُ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْمَرَهُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ أَصَبْتُ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ لَمْ أُصِبْ مَالًا قَطُّ أَنْفَسَ عِنْدِي مِنْهُ فَمَا تَأْمُرُ بِهِ قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ حَبَسْتَ أَصْلَهَا وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِهَا قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عُمَرُ أَنْ لَا تُبَاعَ وَلَا تُوهَبَ وَلَا تُوَرَّثَ قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عُمَرُ فِي الْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْقُرْبَى وَالرِّقَابِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَالضَّيْفِ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ وَلِيَهَا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ صَدِيقًا غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ فِيهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4608
It was narrated that Ibn "Umar said: Umar was given a share of land in Khaybar, and he came to the Prophet (PBUH) to consult him about it. He said: I have been given a share of land at khaybar 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 (its yield) in charity to the poor and relatives, for the manumission of slaves, for (those striving in jihad} for the sake of Allah and for wayfarers and guests; 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.
