Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Abu al-Tahir and Harimah narrated to us, saying: Ibn Wahb informed us, saying: Yunus informed me from Ibn Shihab from Anas ibn Malik, who said:
When the Muhajirs migrated from Mecca to Medina; they came (in a state that) they had not anything (i. e. money) in theirhands, while the Ansar possessed lands and date palms. They divided their properties with the Muhajirs. The Ansar divided and gave them on the condition that they would give half the fruit from the orchards every year, and the Muhajirs would recompense them by working with them and putting in labour. The mother of Anas b. Malik was called Umm Sulaim and she was also the mother of 'Abdullah b. Talha who was a brother of Anas from his mother's side. The mother of Anas had given the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) her date-palms. He bestowed them upon Umm Aiman, the slave-girl who had been freed by him and was the mother of Usama b. Zaid. لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ، مِنْ مَكَّةَ إلى الْمَدِينَةَ قَدِمُوا وَلَيْسَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ شَيْءٌ، وَكَانَ الْأَنْصَارُ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ وَالْعَقَارِ، فَقَاسَمَهُمُ الْأَنْصَارُ عَلَى أَنْ أَعْطَوْهُمْ أَنْصَافَ ثِمَارِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ، كُلَّ عَامٍ، وَيَكْفُونَهُمُ الْعَمَلَ وَالْمَئُونَةَ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، كَانَ أَخًا لِأَنَسٍ لِأُمِّهِ، وَكَانَتْ أَعْطَتْ أُمُّ أَنَسٍ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِذَاقًا لَهَا، فَأَعْطَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ، مَوْلَاتَهُ، أُمَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ
Sahih Muslim 1771a
, Ibn Shihab said: So Anas ibn Malik informed me,
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had finished the war with the people of Khaibar and returned to Medina, the Muhajirs returned to the Ansar all the gifts which they had given them out of the fruits. (Anas b. Malik said: ) The Messenger of. Allah (ﷺ) returned to my mother her date-palms and gave to Umm Aiman instead of them date-palms from his orchard. أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ خَيْبَرَ، وَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، رَدَّ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ مَنَائِحَهُمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا مَنَحُوهُمْ مِنْ ثِمَارِهِمْ، قَالَ : فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أُمِّي عِذَاقَهَا، وَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ مَكَانَهُنَّ مِنْ حَائِطِهِ
Sahih Muslim 1771a
, Ibn Shihab said:
Ibn Shihab says that Umm Aiman was the mother of Usama b. Zaid who was the slave-girl of 'Abdullah b. 'Abd-ul-Muttalib and hailed from Abyssinia. When Amina gave birth to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) after the death of his father, Umm Aiman used to nurse him until he grew up. He (later on) freed her and married her to Zaid b. Haritha. She died five months after the death of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). وَكَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ أُمِّ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ وَصِيفَةً لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ، فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْ آمِنَةُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ مَا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُوهُ، فَكَانَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ تَحْضُنُهُ حَتَّى كَبِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْتَقَهَا، ثُمَّ أَنْكَحَهَا زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَتْ بَعْدَ مَا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخَمْسَةِ أَشْهُرٍ
Sahih Muslim 1771a
.

The Shaykh : But this appears to me, and Allah knows best, that it is not on the basis of obligation, unless they had agreed with them initially that these gifts would be returned. Otherwise, the original ruling is that they are their property, and that they are not obligated to return them.
