Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَعْطَى شَيْئًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ إِذَا بَلَغْتَ وَادِيَ الْقُرَى فَشَأْنَكَ بِهِ .
Translation
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that when Abdullah ibnUmar gave something in the way of Allah, he would say to its owner,"When you reach Wadi'l-Qura, (on the outskirts of Madina) then it isyour affair."
