“Bear witness that I have given Nu'man such and such from my wealth.” He said: “Have you given all your children something like that which you have given to Nu'man?” He said: “No.” He said: “Then let someone other than me bear witness to that.” And he said: “Would you not like all your children to honor you equally?” He said: “Of course.” He said: “Then do not do this.”  

انْطَلَقَ بِهِ أَبُوهُ يَحْمِلُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ اشْهَدْ أَنِّي قَدْ نَحَلْتُ النُّعْمَانَ مِنْ مَالِي كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَكُلَّ بَنِيكَ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي نَحَلْتَ النُّعْمَانَ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَأَشْهِدْ عَلَى هَذَا غَيْرِي قَالَ أَلَيْسَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا لَكَ فِي الْبِرِّ سَوَاءً قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَلاَ إِذًا  

his father gave him a gift of a slave, and he came to the Prophet ﷺ so that he could witness the gift. He said: “Have you given something to all of your children?” He said: “No.” He said: “Then take back (your gift).”  

وَأَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُشْهِدُهُ فَقَالَ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَارْدُدْهُ  

“It is not permissible for a man to give a gift then take it back, except what a father gives to his child.”  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ يَرْفَعَانِ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الْعَطِيَّةَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ فِيهَا إِلاَّ الْوَالِدَ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ  

“None of you should take back his gift, except a father (taking it back) from his son.”  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَرْجِعْ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي هِبَتِهِ إِلاَّ الْوَالِدَ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ  

“There is no lifelong grant. Whoever is given something as a lifelong grant, it is his.' ”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ عُمْرَى فَمَنْ أُعْمِرَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لَهُ  

“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.”  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَعْمَرَ رَجُلاً عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَ قَوْلُهُ حَقَّهُ فِيهَا فَهِيَ لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَ وَلِعَقِبِهِ  

the Prophet ﷺ ruled that a gift given for life belongs to the heirs (of the recipient).  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَعَلَ الْعُمْرَى لِلْوَارِثِ  

“There is no Ruqba. Whoever is given a gift on the basis of Ruqba, it belongs to him, whether he lives or dies.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ رُقْبَى فَمَنْ أُرْقِبَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ وَمَمَاتَهُ قَالَ وَالرُّقْبَى أَنْ يَقُولَ هُوَ لِلآخَرِ مِنِّي وَمِنْكَ مَوْتًا  

“Umra belongs to the one to whom it is given, and Ruqba belongs to the one to whom it is given.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَهَا وَالرُّقْبَى جَائِزَةٌ لِمَنْ أُرْقِبَهَا  

“The likeness of one who takes back his gift is that of a dog that eats until it is full and vomits; then it goes back to its vomit and eats it again.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي عَطِيَّتِهِ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قَيْئِهِ فَأَكَلَهُ  

“The one who takes back his gift is like the one who goes back to his vomit.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ  

“The one who takes back his gift is like the dog that goes back to its vomit.”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ  

“A man has more right to his gift so long as he has not gotten something in return for it.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الرَّجُلُ أَحَقُّ بِهِبَتِهِ مَا لَمْ يُثَبْ مِنْهَا  

“It is not permissible for a woman to dispose of her wealth except with her husband's permission, once he has married her.”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي خُطْبَةٍ خَطَبَهَا لاَ يَجُوزُ لاِمْرَأَةٍ فِي مَالِهَا إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا إِذَا هُوَ مَلَكَ عِصْمَتَهَا  

his grandmother Khairah, the wife of Ka'b bin Malik, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with some jewelry belonging to her and said, I am giving this in charity. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: “It is not permissible for a woman to dispose of her wealth without her husband's permission. Did you ask Ka'b's permission?” She said: “Yes.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Ka'b bin Malik, her husband, and said, “Did you give Khairah permission to give her jewelry in charity?” He said: “Yes.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ accepted it from her.  

أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ خَيْرَةَ امْرَأَةَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحُلِيٍّ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ فِي مَالِهَا إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا فَهَلِ اسْتَأْذَنْتِ كَعْبًا قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ زَوْجِهَا فَقَالَ هَلْ أَذِنْتَ لِخَيْرَةَ أَنْ تَتَصَدَّقَ بِحُلِيِّهَا فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَبِلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْهَا
