أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ الْأَحْوَلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ جُنَادَةَ عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَرْضٍ لَهُ عَظِيمَةٍ عَلَى أُمِّهِ فَمَاتَتْ وَلَيْسَ لَهَا وَارِثٌ غَيْرُهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي كَانَتْ مِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ وَأَعَزَّهَمْ عَلَيَّ وَإِنِّي تَصَدَّقْتُ عَلَيْهَا بِأَرْضٍ لِي عَظِيمَةٍ فَمَاتَتْ وَلَيْسَ لَهَا وَارِثٌ غَيْرِي فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَصْنَعَ بِهَا؟ قَالَ قَدْ أَوْجَبَ اللهُ لَكَ أَجْرَكَ وَرَدَّ عَلَيْكَ أَرْضَكَ فَاصْنَعْ بِهَا كَيْفَ شِئْتَ

✧ A man from the Emigrants gave as charity a great piece of land to his mother. She died and had no heir other than him. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: My mother was among the most beloved of people to me and the dearest of them to me, and I gave as charity to her a great piece of land of mine. She died and has no heir other than me. How do you order me to deal with it? He said: God has made your reward due and returned your land to you, so do with it whatever you wish.
