ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ نَفَى جَوَازَ اتِّخَاذِ الْأَحْبَاسِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

[Machine] Omar sought advice from the Prophet ﷺ regarding his charity of a sum of money. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Keep its principal and spend its fruits." Abdullah (ibn Masud) said that Omar kept the money for the people in need, the forbidden individuals, the wayfarers, those fighting in the cause of Allah, slaves, and the poor. He appointed someone to manage it and allowed him to eat from it without greed for wealth.  

ابن حبّان:٤٨٩٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الشَّرْقِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الذُّهْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْكِنَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ عُمَرَ اسْتَشَارَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ بِثَمْغٍ فَقَالَ «احْبِسْ أَصْلَهَا وَسَبِّلْ ثَمَرَتَهَا» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَحَبَسَهَا عُمَرُ عَلَى السَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَجَعَلَ قَيِّمَهَا يَأْكُلُ وَيُؤْكِلُ غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالًا
