Donating Wealth in Charity

SUMMARY: Umar acquired 100 shares in Khaibar and wanted to give it in charity, the Prophet advised him to freeze it and donate its fruits.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "Umar said to the Prophet: '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 said: Freeze it and donate its fruits".
أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنَّ الْمِائَةَ سَهْمٍ الَّتِي لِي بِخَيْبَرَ لَمْ أُصِبْ مَالاً قَطُّ أَعْجَبَ إِلَىَّ مِنْهَا قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ احْبِسْ أَصْلَهَا وَسَبِّلْ ثَمَرَتَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about donating wealth in charity. It was narrated by Ibn 'Umar that Umar said to the Prophet that he had acquired 100 shares of Khaibar and he liked it more than any other wealth he had ever acquired. He wanted to give it away as charity but the Prophet advised him to freeze it instead and donate its fruits. This teaches us that when we have something valuable, we should not just give away what we have but also think of ways where our donations can be beneficial for a longer period of time. We should use our resources wisely so that they can benefit others for a longer period of time rather than just giving away what we have at once.
