أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَلَنْجِيُّ، بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ جَاءَ عُمَرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ مَالاً لَمْ أُصِبْ مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ كَانَ لِي مِائَةُ رَأْسٍ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِهَا مِائَةَ سَهْمٍ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا وَإِنِّي قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَقَرَّبَ بِهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فَاحْبِسْ أَصْلَهَا وَسَبِّلِ الثَّمَرَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah al-Khalanji reported to us in Bayt al-Maqdis: Sufyan narrated to us, from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Umar, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 'Umar came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I have acquired wealth unlike anything I have ever acquired before. I had one hundred head of livestock and bought with them one hundred shares of land at Khaybar from its people. I wish to draw near to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, through it.’ He said, ‘Retain its principal and dedicate its yield to charity.’

Translation notes

  • The Arabic states that 'Umar had one hundred head of livestock and used them to buy one hundred shares in Khaybar.
