A man from the immigrants donated a large piece of land to his mother, but she passed away and he had no other heir except himself. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "My mother was one of the dearest people to me and I honored her. I donated a large piece of land to her, but she passed away and I am her only heir. How should I deal with it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has made your reward obligatory and has returned your land to you. So, do with it as you please."

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
