The Book of
Endowments from Sunan An-Nasa’i
3624 It was
narrated that ‘Amr bin Al-Harith said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not
leave behind a Dinar nor a Dirham, or any slave, male or female; except his
white mule which he used to ride, his weapon and some land which he left to be
used for the cause of Allah.” (One of the narrators) Qutaibah said on one
occasion: “In charity.” (Sahih)
3625 Abu Ishaq
narrated: “I heard ‘Amr bin Al-Harith say: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) did
not leave behind anything except his white mule, his weapon and some land which
he left as a charity.’” (Sahih)
3626 Yunus bin
Abi Ishaq narrated that his father said: “I heard ‘Amr bin Al-Harith say: ‘I
saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) and he left nothing behind except his white
mule, his weapon and some land which he left as a charity.’” (Sahih)
3627 It was
narrated from Sufyan Ath-Thawri, from Ibn ‘Awn, from Nafi’, from Ibn ‘Umar,
from ‘Umar, that he said: “I was allocated some land of Khaibar. I came to the
Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: ‘I have acquired some land and I have never
acquired any wealth that is dearer to me or more precious than it.’ He said:
‘If you wish, you can give it in charity.’” So he gave it in charity on
condition that it would not be bought or given away, for the poor, relatives,
slaves, guests and wayfarers. And there is no sin on the administrator if he
eats from it or feeds others on a reasonable basis, with no intention of
becoming wealthy from it. (Sahih)
3628 A similar
report was narrated from Abu Ishaq Al-Fazari, from (Ayyub) bin ‘Awn, from
Nafi’, from Ibn ‘Umar, from ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, from the
Prophet (saw). (Sahih)
3629 It was
narrated that Yazid – Ibn Ruzaiq – said: “Ibn ‘Awn narrated to us, from Nafi’,
from Ibn ‘Umar, from ‘Umar, who said: ‘I acquired some land at Khaibar. He came
to the Prophet (saw) and said: I have acquired some land at Khaibar, and I have
never been given any wealth that is more precious to me than it. What do you
command me to do with it? He said: If you wish, you can ‘freeze’ it and give it
in charity. So he gave it in charity on condition that it would not be sold,
given away or inherited, to the poor, relatives, slaves, for the cause of
Allah, guests and wayfarers. There is no sin on the one who administers it if
he eats from it on a reasonable basis and feeds his friend, with no intention
of becoming wealthy from it.’” (Sahih)
3630 It was
narrated from Bishr, from Ibn ‘Awn, from Nafi’, from Ibn ‘Umar who said: “Umar
acquired some land at Khaibar. He came to the Prophet (saw) and consulted him
about it. He said: ‘I have acquired a great deal of land, and I have never
acquired any wealth that is more precious to me than it. What do you command me
to do with it?’ He said: ‘If you wish, you may freeze it and give it in
charity.’ So he gave it in charity on condition that it would not be sold or
given away, and he gave it in charity to the poor, relatives, to emancipate
slaves, for the cause of Allah, for wayfarers and guests. There is no sin – on
the administrator – if he eats (from it) or feeds a friend, with no intention
of becoming wealthy from it.’” These are the wordings of Isma’il.* (Sahih)
*That is, one of the narrators from whom the author heard
this narration.
3631 It was
narrated from Azhar As-Samman, from Ibn ‘Awn, from Nafi’, from Ibn ‘Umar, that
‘Umar acquired some land at Khaibar. He came to the Prophet (saw) and consulted
him about that. He said: “If you wish, you may ‘freeze’ it and give it in
charity.” So he ‘froze’ it, stipulating that it should not be sold, given as a
gift or inherited, and he gave it in charity to the poor, relatives, slaves,
the needy, wayfarers and guests. There is no sin on the administrator if he
eats from it on a reasonable basis or feeds a friend with no intention of
becoming wealthy from it. (Sahih)
3632 It was
narrated that Anas said: “When this Verse was revealed – ‘By no means shall you
attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness – here it means Allah’s reward, i.e.
Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah’s cause) of that which you love’ [3:92] –
Abu Talhah said: ‘Our Lord will ask us about our wealth. I adjure you, O
Messenger of Allah! I am giving my land to Allah.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: ‘Make it for your relatives, Hassan bin Thabit and Ubayy bin Ka’b.’”
(Sahih)
3633 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “Umar said to the Prophet (saw): ‘The one hundred
shares that I acquired in Khaibar – I have never acquired any wealth that I
like more than that, and I want to give it in charity. The Prophet (saw) said:
Freeze it and donate its fruits.’” (Sahih)
3634 It was
narrated that ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “Umar came to the
Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have acquired some
wealth the like of which I have never acquired before. I had one hundred head
(of livestock) with which I bought one hundred shares of Khaibar from its
people. I wanted to draw closer to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, by means of
it.’ He said: ‘Freeze it and donate its fruits.’” (Sahih)
3635 It was
narrated that ‘Umar said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah (saw) about some land
of mine in Thamgh. He said: ‘Freeze it and donate its fruits.’” (Sahih)
3636 Al-Ahnaf
said: “I came to Al-Madinah, and I was performing Hajj, and while we were in
our camping place unloading our mounts, someone came to us and said: ‘The
people have gathered in the Masjid.’ I looked and found the people gathered,
and in the midst of them was a group; there I saw ‘Ali bin Abi Talib,
Az-Zubair, Talhah and Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas, may Allah have mercy on them. When I
got there, it was said that ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan had come. He came, wearing a
yellowish cloak. I said to my companion: Stay where you are until I find out
what is happening. ‘Uthman said: ‘Is ‘Ali here? Is Az-Zubair here? Is Talhah
here? Is Sa’d here? They said: Yes. He said: I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom
there is none worthy of worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: Whoever buys the Mirbad* of Banu so and so, Allah will forgive him,
and I bought it, then I came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and told him, and
he said: Add it to our Masjid and the reward for it will be yours? They said:
Yes. He said: I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of
worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Whoever buys the
well of Rumah, Allah will forgive him, so I came to the Messenger of Allah
(saw) and said: I have bought the well of Rumah. He said: Give it to provide water
for the Muslims, and the reward for it will be yours? They said: Yes. He said:
‘I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you
aware that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Whoever equips the army of
Al-‘Usrah (i.e., Tabuk), Allah will forgive him, so I equipped them until they
were not lacking even a rope or a bridle? They said: Yes. He said: O Allah,
bear witness, O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness.’” (Hasan)
*Mirbad: a place for drying dates.
3637 It was
narrated that Al-Ahnaf bin Qais said: “We set out for Hajj, and came to
Al-Madinah intending to perform Hajj. While we were in our camping place
unloading our mounts, someone came to us and said: ‘The people have gathered in
the Masjid and there is panic.’ So we set out and found the people gathered
around a group in the middle of the Masjid, among whom were ‘Ali, Az-Zubair,
Talhah and Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas. While we were like that, ‘Uthman came, wearing
a yellowish cloak with which he had covered his head. He said: ‘Is ‘Ali here?
Is Talhah here? Is Az-Zubair here? Is Sa’d here? They said: Yes. He said: I
adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you aware
that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Whoever buys the Mirbad of Banu so and
so, Allah will forgive him, and I bought it for twenty or twenty-five thousand,
then I came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and told him, and he said: Add it
to our Masjid and the reward will be yours? They said: By Allah, yes. He said:
‘I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, are you
aware that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Whoever buys the well of Rumah,
Allah will forgive him, so I bought it for such and such an amount, then I came
to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and told him, and he said: Give it to provide
water for the Muslims, and the reward for it will be yours? They said: By
Allah, yes. He said: ‘I adjure you by Allah, beside Whom there is none worthy
of worship, are you aware that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Whoever
equips these (men), Allah will forgive him, - meaning the army of Al-‘Usrah
(i.e., Tabuk) – so I equipped them until they were not lacking even a rope or
bridle? They said: ‘By Allah, yes. He said: O Allah, bear witness, O Allah,
bear witness.’” (Hasan)
3638 It was
narrated that Thumamah bin Hazn Al-Qushairi said: “I was present at the house
when ‘Uthman looked out over them and said: ‘I adjure you by Allah and by
Islam, are you aware that when the Messenger of Allah (saw) came to Al-Madinah,
and it had no water that was considered sweet (suitable for drinking) except
the well of Rumah, he said: “Who will buy the well of Rumah and dip his bucket
in it alongside the buckets of the Muslims, in return for a better one in
Paradise?” and I bought it with my capital and dipped my bucket into it
alongside the buckets of the Muslims? Yet today you are preventing me from
drinking from it, so that I have to drink salty water.’ They said: ‘By Allah,
yes.’ He said: ‘I adjure you by Allah and by Islam, are you aware that I
equipped the army of Al-‘Usrah (Tabuk) from my own wealth?’ They said: ‘By
Allah, yes.’ He said: ‘I adjure you by Allah and by Islam, are you aware that
when the Masjid became too small for the people and the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: Who will buy the plot of the family of so and so and add it to the
Masjid, in return for a better plot in Paradise? I bought it with my capital
and added it to the Masjid? Yet now you are preventing me from praying two
Rak’ahs therein.’ They said: ‘By Allah, yes.’ He said: ‘I adjure you by Allah
and by Islam, are you aware that when the Messenger of Allah (saw) was atop
Thabir – the Thabir in Makkah – and with him were Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, and myself,
the mountain shook, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) kicked it with his foot
and said: Be still Thabir, for upon you are a Prophet, a Siddiq and two
martyrs?’ They said: ‘By Allah, yes.’ He said: ‘Allahu Akbar! They have
testified for me, they have testified for me, by the Lord of the Ka’bah’ –
i.e., that I am a martyr.’” (Hasan)
3639 It was
narrated from Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman that ‘Uthman looked out over them
when they besieged him and said: “By Allah, I adjure a man who heard the
Messenger of Allah (saw), on the day when the mountain shook with him, and he
kicked it with his foot and said: ‘Be still, for there is no one upon you but a
Prophet or a Siddiq or two martyrs,’ and I was with him.” Some men responded
and affirmed that. Then he said: “By Allah, I adjure a man who witnessed the
Messenger of Allah (saw), on the day of Bai’at Al-Ridwan, say: ‘This is the
Hand of Allah and this is the hand of ‘Uthman.’” Some men responded and
affirmed that. He said: “By Allah, I adjure a man who heard the Messenger of
Allah (saw) say, on the day of the army of Al-‘Usrah (i.e., Tabuk): ‘Who will
spend and it will be accepted?’ And I equipped half of the army from my own
wealth.” Some men responded and affirmed that. Then he said: “By Allah, I
adjure a man who heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘Who will add this to
the Masjid in return for a house in Paradise,’ and I bought it with my own
wealth.” Some men responded and affirmed that. Then he said: By Allah, O adjure
a man who witness Rumah being sold, and I bought it from me own wealth and
allowed wayfarers to use it.” Some men responded and affirmed that. (Hasan)
3640 It was
narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman Al-Sulami said: “When ‘Uthman was besieged in his
house, the people gathered around his house and he looked out over them” and he
quoted the same Hadith. (Sahih)
