Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
In the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle , Umar gave in charity some of his property, a garden of date-
palms called Thamgh. ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have some property which I prize highly and I
want to give it in charity.” The Prophet; said, “Give it in charity (i.e. as an endowment) with its land
and trees on the condition that the land and trees will neither be sold nor given as a present, nor be –
queathed, but the fruits are to be spent in charity.” So ‘Umar gave it in charity, and it was for Allah’s
Cause, the emancipation of slaves, for the poor, for guests, for travelers, and for kinsmen. The person
acting as its administrator could eat from it reasonably and fairly, and could let a friend of his eat
from it provided he had no intention of becoming wealthy by its means.

land, better than which I have never got. So what do you advise me regarding it?” The Prophet said,
“If you wish you can keep it as an endowment to be used for charitable purposes.” So, ‘Umar gave the
land in charity (i.e. as an endowments on the condition that the land would neither be sold nor given
as a present, nor bequeathed, (and its yield) would be used for the poor, the kinsmen, the emancipa –
tion of slaves, Jihad, and for guests and travelers; and its administrator could eat in a reasonable just
manner, and he also could feed his friends without intending to be wealthy by its means.”

I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “All of you are guardians and responsible for your charges: the
Ruler (i.e. Imam) is a guardian and responsible for his subjects; and a man is a guardian of his family
and is responsible for his charges; and a lady is a guardian in the house of her husband and is re –
sponsible for her charge; and a servant is a guardian of the property of his master and is responsible
for his charge.” I think he also said, “And a man is a guardian of the property of his father.”
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 890:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
When the people of Khaibar dislocated Abdullah bin Umar’s hands and feet, Umar got up deliver –
ing a sermon saying, “No doubt, Allah’s Apostle made a contract with the Jews concerning their
properties, and said to them, ‘We allow you (to stand in your land) as long as Allah allows you.’ Now
Abdullah bin Umar went to his land and was attacked at night, and his hands and feet were dislo –
cated, and as we have no enemies there except those Jews, they are our enemies and the only people
whom we suspect, I have made up my mind to exile them.” When Umar decided to carry out his de –
cision, a son of Abu Al-Haqiq’s came and addressed ‘Umar, “O chief of the believers, will you exile us
although Muhammad allowed us to stay at our places, and made a contract with us about our prop –
erties, and accepted the condition of our residence in our land?” ‘Umar said, “Do you think that I
have forgotten the statement of Allah’s Apostle, i.e.: What will your condition be when you are ex –
pelled from Khaibar and your camel will be carrying you night after night?” The Jew replied, “That
was joke from Abu-l-Qasim.” ‘Umar said, “O the enemy of Allah! You are telling a lie.” ‘Umar then
drove them out and paid them the price of their properties in the form of fruits, money, camel
saddles and ropes, etc.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 49: PEACEMAKING
Allah’s Apostle set out for the ‘Umra but the pagans of Quraish prevented him from reaching the
Ka’ba. So, he slaughtered his sacrifice and got his head shaved at Al-Hudaibiya, and agreed with
them that he would perform ‘Umra the following year and would not carry weapons except swords
and would not stay in Mecca except for the period they al lowed. So, the Prophet performed the
‘Umra in the following year and entered Mecca according to the treaty, and when he stayed for three
days, the pagans ordered him to depart, and he departed.

Allah’s Apostle called me to present myself in front of him or the eve of the battle of Uhud, while I
was fourteen years of age at that time, and he did not allow me to take part in that battle, but he

allowed me (to join the battle).” Nafi’ said, “I went to ‘Umar bin ‘Abdul Aziz who was Caliph at that
