Sahih Bukhari

Nafi said, "Ibn Umar never refused to be appointed as a guardian." The most beloved thing to Ibn Sirin concerning an orphan's wealth was that the orphan's advisors and guardians would assemble to decide what is best for him. When Tawus was asked about the something concerning an orphan's affairs, he would recite: '...And Allah knows him who means mischief from him who means good...' (2.220) Ata said concerning some orphans, "The guardian is to provide for the young and the old orphans according to their needs from their shares."

When Allah's Apostle (SAW) came to Medina he did not have any servant. Abu Talha (Anas' step-father) took me to Allah's Apostle (SAW) and said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! Anas is a wise boy, so let him serve you." So, I served him at home and on journeys. If I did anything, he never asked me why I did it, and if I refrained from doing anything, he never asked me why I refrained from doing it.

Abu Talha had the greatest wealth of date-palms amongst the Ansar in Medina, and he prized above all his wealth (his garden) Bairuha, which was situated opposite the Mosque (of the Prophet (SAW)). The Prophet (SAW) used to enter It and drink from its fresh water. When the following Divine Verse were revealed: "By no means shall you attain piety until you spend of what you love...." (3.92) Abu Talha got up saying. "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! Allah says, 'You will not attain piety until you spend of what you love,' and I prize above all my wealth, Bairuha which I want to give in charity for Allah's Sake, hoping for its reward from Allah. So you can use it as Allah directs you." On that the Prophet (SAW) said, "Bravo! It is a profitable (or perishable) property. (Ibn Maslama is not sure as to which word is right, i.e. profitable or perishable.) I have heard what you have said, and I recommend that you distribute this amongst your relatives." On that Abu Talha said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! I will do (as you have suggested)." So, Abu Talha distributed that garden amongst his relatives and cousins.

When Umar got a piece of land in Khaibar, he came to the Prophet (SAW) saying, "I have got a piece of land, better than which I have never got. So what do you advise me regarding it?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "If you wish you can keep it as an endowment to be used for charitable purposes." So, Umar gave the land in charity (i.e. as an endowments on the condition that the land would neither be sold nor given as a present, nor bequeathed, (and its yield) would be used for the poor, the kinsmen, the emancipation of slaves, Jihad, and for guests and travellers; and its administrator could eat in a reasonable just manner, and he also could feed his friends without intending to be wealthy by its means."
