حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْعَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمِائَةَ سَهْمٍ الَّتِي بِخَيْبَرَ لَمْ أُصِبْ مَالاً قَطُّ هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْهَا وَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " احْبِسْ أَصْلَهَا وَسَبِّلْ ثَمَرَتَهَا " . قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فَوَجَدْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ فِي كِتَابِي عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .

Muhammad ibn Abi Umar al-Adani narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ubaydullah ibn Umar, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: Umar ibn al-Khattab said, “Messenger of Allah, the hundred shares at Khaybar are the most beloved property I have ever acquired. I want to give them in charity.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Keep the principal intact and dedicate its yield.” Ibn Abi Umar said: I found this report elsewhere in my book, through Sufyan, from Abdullah, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: Umar said something similar.

The closing isnad note by Ibn Abi Umar is part of the Arabic source and is translated. It records a variant chain through Abdullah rather than Ubaydullah and summarizes the wording as similar.
