Hadith 15

Sahih Bukhari

Book 41: Agriculture

Chapter 14

The Auqaf, Kharaj, share-cropping and other agreements

بَابُ أَوْقَافِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَرْضِ الْخَرَاجِ وَمُزَارَعَتِهِمْ وَمُعَامَلَتِهِمْ

The Prophet ﷺ said to ‘Umar, “Give those trees as a whole in charity (as Waqf) so that those might not be sold but their fruits can be spent and given in charity.” So, ‘Umar gave those trees in charity.
وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعُمَرَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِأَصْلِهِ لاَ يُبَاعُ، وَلَكِنْ يُنْفَقُ ثَمَرُهُ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ».
Sahih al-Bukhari 2334
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ لَوْلاَ آخِرُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا فَتَحْتُ قَرْيَةً إِلاَّ قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ أَهْلِهَا كَمَا قَسَمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَيْبَرَ‏.‏
Zaid bin Aslam from his father:

`Umar said, "But for the future Muslim generations, I would have distributed the land of the villages I conquer among the soldiers as the Prophet (ﷺ) distributed the land of Khaibar."
