أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ الْمِائَةَ سَهْمٍ الَّتِي لِي بِخَيْبَرَ لَمْ أُصِبْ مَالاً قَطُّ أَعْجَبَ إِلَىَّ مِنْهَا قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " احْبِسْ أَصْلَهَا وَسَبِّلْ ثَمَرَتَهَا " .
Sa'id ibn 'Abd al-Rahman reported to us: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us, from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Umar, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, who said: 'Umar said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), ‘The one hundred shares of land I have at Khaybar—I have never acquired any wealth more precious to me than it, and I wish to give it in charity.’ The Prophet said, ‘Retain its principal and dedicate its yield to charity.’
Translation notes
The Arabic specifies one hundred shares and distinguishes the retained principal from the yield devoted to charity.
