Sunan Abi Dawud 2879 (Book 18, Hadith 18) #23169
Religious Endowment Made by 'Umar b. al-Khattab

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the religious endowment made by 'Umar b. al-Khattab, which states that the surplus fruit should be devoted to the beggar and deprived, and if the man in charge of thamgh wishes to buy a slave for its fruits (by selling them), he may do so.

Narrated Yahya b. Sa'id: 'Abd al-Hamid b. Abd 'Allah b'.Abd Allah b'.Umar b. al-Khattab copied to me a document about the religious endowment (waqf) made by 'Umar b. al-Khattab : In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. This is what Allah's servant 'Umar has written about thamgh. He narrated the tradition like the one transmitted by Nafi'. He added: "provided he is not storing up goods (for himself)". The surplus fruit will be devoted to the beggar and the deprived. He then went on with the tradition, saying: If the man in charge of thamgh wishes to buy a slave for his work for its fruits (by selling them), he may do so. Mu'iqib penned it and 'Abd Allah b. al-Arqam witnessed it : In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. This is what Allah's servant 'Umar , Commander of Faithful, directed, in case of some incident happens to him (ie he dies), that thamgh, Sirmah b. al-Akwa', the servant who is there, the hundred shares in (the land of) Khaibr, the servant who is there and the hundred sahres which Muhammad had donated to me in the valley (nearly) will remain in the custody of Hafsah during her life, then the men of opinion from her family will be in charge of these (endowments), that these will neither be sold not purchased, spending (its produce) where they think (necessary on the beggar, deprived and relatives). There is no harm to the one in charge (of this endowment) if he eats himself, or feeds, or buys slaves with it.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a religious endowment made by 'Umar b. al-Khattab, which was written down in a document as an instruction for what should happen after his death. The document stated that any surplus fruit from this endowment should be devoted to beggars and deprived people, and if someone wanted to buy slaves with it they could do so as well. This hadith teaches us that we must always think of those who are less fortunate than us and help them out whenever we can, even if it's just with something small like giving away our extra food or money when we have it available. We must also remember that Allah has given us all these blessings for a reason - so that we can use them to help others in need!
