أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصَفَّى بْنِ بُهْلُولٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَرْضٍ لِي بِثَمْغٍ قَالَ ‏ "‏ احْبِسْ أَصْلَهَا وَسَبِّلْ ثَمَرَتَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Musaffa ibn Bahlul reported to us: Baqiyyah narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn Salim al-Makki, from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Umar, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, from 'Umar, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a plot of land of mine at Thamgh. He said, ‘Retain its principal and dedicate its yield to charity.’
