33. Book of Giving Away Property
٣٣۔ كِتَابُ الرُّقْبَى وَالْعُمْرَى
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ أَنْ يَرْقُبَ الْمَرْءُ دَارَهُ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not spy on each other's wealth, for whoever spies on something belongs to the one he spies on." And a form of spying is when a man says to another: 'As long as so-and-so is alive, I will not give it to him, but if he dies, it will go to so-and-so.'
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تُرْقِبُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ فَمَنْ أَرْقَبَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لِمَنْ أَرْقَبَهُ» وَالرُّقْبَى أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ هَذَا لِفُلَانٍ مَا عَاشَ فَإِذَا مَاتَ فُلَانٌ فَهُوَ لِفُلَانٍ
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ أَنْ يُعْمِرَ الرَّجُلُ دَارَهُ لِأَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ
“There is no lifelong grant. Whoever is given something as a lifelong grant, it is his.' ” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2379)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُرْقِبُوا وَلَا تُعْمِرُوا فَمَنْ أَعْمَرَ شَيْئًا أَوْ أَرْقَبَ فَهُوَ لَهُ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ فَهُوَ لَهُ أَرَادَ بِهِ لِمَنْ أَعْمَرَ وَلِمَنْ أَرْقَبَ
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Al-Umra (a type of minor pilgrimage) is for the one who performs it, and ar-Ruqba (a type of major pilgrimage) is not for me to oversee."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْعُمْرَى لِمَنْ أَعْمَرَهَا وَالرُّقْبَى لَمْ أَرْقَبَهَا»
ذِكْرُ إِجَازَةِ الْعُمْرَى إِذَا اسْتَعْمَلَهَا الْمَرْءُ مَعَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "ʿUmrá is permissible." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2626)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ»
ذِكْرُ إِثْبَاتِ الْعُمْرَى لِمَنْ وُهِبَتْ لَهُ
"Yahya bin Abi Kathir narrated to us, he said: 'Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman narrated to me, he said: "I heard Jabir say: 'The Messenger of Allah said: "A lifelong gift belongs to the one to whom it was given."'"'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3750)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْعُمْرَى لِمَنْ وُهِبَتْ لَهُ»
ذِكْرُ إِثْبَاتِ الْعُمْرَى لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَتْ لَهُ
"There is no lifelong gift. Whoever is given something as a lifelong gift, it belongs to him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3752)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا عُمْرَى وَمَنْ أَعْمَرَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لَهُ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ قَدْ وَهِمَ فِي تَأْوِيلِهِ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْكِمْ صَنَاعَةَ الْحَدِيثِ
[Machine] Translation: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Life is like an inheritance."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْعُمْرَى سَبِيلُهَا سَبِيلُ الْمِيرَاثِ»
ذِكْرُ قَضَاءِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ بِالْعُمْرَى لِلْوَارِثِ عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا جَعَلَ سَبِيلَهَا سَبِيلَ الْمِيرَاثِ
It was narrated from Zaid bin Thabit that the Prophet ruled that 'Umra (a gift given for life) belongs to the heir. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3722)
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَضَى بِالْعُمْرَى لِلْوَارِثِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ الْعُمْرَى سَبِيلُهَا سَبِيلُ الْمِيرَاثِ أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ لِمَنْ أَعْمَرَ دُونَ مَنْ أُعْمِرَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever cultivates a land, it belongs to his heirs."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أُعْمِرَ أَرْضًا فَهِيَ لِوَرَثَتِهِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُصَرِّحِ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ أَنَّ مِيرَاثَ الْعُمْرَى يَكُونُ لِلْمُعْمَرِ لَهُ دُونَ مَنْ أَعْمَرَهَا
The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone is given life-tenancy, it belongs to him and to his descendants. His descendants who inherit him will inherit from it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3551)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْعُمْرَى لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَهَا هِيَ لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ يَرِثُهَا مَنْ يَرِثُهُ مِنْ عَقِبِهِ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِأَنَّ الدَّارَ الْمُعْمَرَةَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ لِلْمُعْمرِ لَهُ دُونَ الْمُعْمِرُ إِيَّاهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the Ansar, "Do not make your wealth flourish, for whoever makes something flourish during his lifetime, it will be for him and his heirs after his death."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِلْأَنْصَارِ «لَا تُعْمِرُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ فَمَنْ أُعْمِرَ شَيْئًا حَيَاتَهُ فَهُوَ لَهُ وَلِوَرَثَتِهِ إِذَا مَاتَ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الدَّارَ الَّتِي أُعْمِرَتْ لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى الَّذِي أَعْمَرَهَا وَإِنْ مَاتَ الَّذِي أُعْمِرَتْ لَهُ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone has property given him in life-tenancy for the use of himself and his descendants, it belongs to the one to whom it is given and does not return to the one who gave it, because he gave a gift which may be inherited. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3553)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَإِنَّهَا لِلَّذِي أُعْطِيَهَا لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى الَّذِي أَعْطَاهَا لِأَنَّهُ أَعْطَى عَطِيَّةً وَقَعَتْ فِيهَا الْمَوَارِيثُ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْعُمْرَى الَّتِي زُجِرَ عَنِ اسْتِعِمَالِهَا
“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever gives a lifelong grant to a man, it belongs to him (the recipient) and to his heirs. His (the giver's) words put an end to his right to it, and it belongs to the one to whom it was given for life and to his heirs.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2380)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَعْمَرَ رَجُلًا عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَ قَوْلُهُ حَقَّهُ مِنْهَا وَهِيَ لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَ وَلِعَقِبِهِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ إِعْمَارَ الْمَرْءِ دَارَهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ ذِكْرِ وَرَثِتِهِ بَعْدَهُ لَا تَكُونُ الْعُمْرَى لِلْمُعْمَرِ لَهُ
The life-tenancy which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ allowed was only that one should say: It is for you and your descendants. When he says: It is yours as long as you live, it returns to its owner. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3555)
إِنَّمَا الْعُمْرَى الَّتِي أَجَازَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَقُولَ «هِيَ لَكَ وَلِعَقِبِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَأَمَّا إِذَا قَالَ هِيَ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ فَإِنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ وَلِعَقِبِهِ أَرَادَ بِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ
"Abu Az-Zubair informed me that he heard Jabir saying: 'The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever is given something on the basis of 'Umra it belongs to him for the rest of his life and after he dies."'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3735)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أُعْمِرَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ»
ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا زُجِرَ عَنِ اسْتِعْمَالِ الْعُمْرَى
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hold on to your wealth and do not squander it, for whoever squanders something, it becomes their life and inheritance after they die."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَمْسِكُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَمْوَالَكُمْ وَلَا تُعْمِرُوهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أُعْمِرَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ وَلِوَرَثَتِهِ إِذَا مَاتَ»
