In the lifetime of Allah's Apostle (SAW) , Umar gave in charity some of his property, a garden of date-palms called Thamgh. Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! I have some property which I prize highly and I want to give it in charity." The Prophet (SAW); said, "Give it in charity (i.e. as an endowment) with its land and trees on the condition that the land and trees will neither be sold nor given as a present, nor bequeathed, but the fruits are to be spent in charity." So Umar gave it in charity, and it was for Allah's Cause, the emancipation of slaves, for the poor, for guests, for travellers, and for kinsmen. The person acting as its administrator could eat from it reasonably and fairly, and could let a friend of his eat from it provided he had no intention of becoming wealthy by its means.

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.

Once 'Umar gave a horse in charity to be used in Allah's Cause (Jihad-holy fighting). It had been given to him by Allah's Apostle (SAW). Umar gave it to another man in charity to use it in Allah's Cause. Then Umar was informed that the man put the horse for sale, so he asked Allah's Apostle (SAW) whether he could buy it. Allah's Apostle (SAW) replied, "You should not buy it, for you should not take back what you have given in charity."

When Uthman was circled(by the rebels), he looked upon them from above and said, "I ask you by Allah, I ask nobody but the companions of the Prophet (SAW), don't you know that Allah's Messenger said, 'Whoever will (buy and) dig the well of Ruma will be granted paradise,' and I (bought and) dug it? Don't you know that he said, 'Whoever equip the army of Usra (Tabuk's Ghazwa) will be granted paradise,' and I equipped it?" They attested whatever he said. When Umar founded his endowment he said, "Its administrator can eat from it." The management of the endowment can be taken over by the founder himself or any other person, for both cases are permissable.
