"Any man who is given a gift for life, it belongs to him and his heirs. It belongs to the one to whom it is given, and does not go back to the one who gave it, because he has given it in such a way that it is subject to the rules of inheritance."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَإِنَّهَا لِلَّذِي أُعْطِيَهَا لاَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَى الَّذِي أَعْطَاهَا لأَنَّهُ أَعْطَى عَطَاءً وَقَعَتْ فِيهِ الْمَوَارِيثُ  

He who conferred a life grant upon a person, it becomes his possession and that of his successors, for he surrendered his right in that by his declaration. (This property) now belongs to one to whom this lifelong grant has been made, and to his successors. Yahya narrated in the beginning of his narration: Whatever man is given a life grant, then it belongs to him and his posterity.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَعْمَرَ رَجُلاً عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَ قَوْلُهُ حَقَّهُ فِيهَا وَهِيَ لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَ وَلِعَقِبِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ يَحْيَى قَالَ فِي أَوَّلِ حَدِيثِهِ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَى فَهِيَ لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever a person conferred Umra (life grant) upon a person and he says: I confer upon you this and upon your descendants and anyone who survives you, and that becomes his possession and that of his posterity. It would become (a permanent possession) of those who were conferred upon this gift, and it would not return to its owner (donor), for he gave that as a gift in which accrued the right of inheritance.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَعْمَرَ رَجُلاً عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا وَعَقِبَكَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّهَا لِمَنْ أُعْطِيَهَا وَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَعْطَى عَطَاءً وَقَعَتْ فِيهِ الْمَوَارِيثُ  

The Umra for which Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave sanction that a person way say: This (property) is for you and for your descendants. And when he said: That is for you as long as you live, then it will return to its owner (after the death of the donee). Ma'mar said: Zuhri used to give religious verdict according to this.  

إِنَّمَا الْعُمْرَى الَّتِي أَجَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَقُولَ هِيَ لَكَ وَلِعَقِبِكَ فَأَمَّا إِذَا قَالَ هِيَ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ فَإِنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ وَكَانَ الزُّهْرِيُّ يُفْتِي بِهِ  

For he conferred a grant and as such it becomes heritage. and the right of inheritance abrogated his condition.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَضَى فِيمَنْ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَهِيَ لَهُ بَتْلَةً لاَ يَجُوزُ لِلْمُعْطِي فِيهَا شَرْطٌ وَلاَ ثُنْيَا قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ لأَنَّهُ أَعْطَى عَطَاءً وَقَعَتْ فِيهِ الْمَوَارِيثُ فَقَطَعَتِ الْمَوَارِيثُ شَرْطَهُ  

Life grant is for one upon whom it is bestowed.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعُمْرَى لِمَنْ وُهِبَتْ لَهُ  

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported a hadith like this through another chain of transmitters.  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ بِمِثْلِهِ  

Jabir reported this hadith directly from Allah's Apostle ﷺ  

عَنْ جَابِرٍ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

Keep your property to yourselves and do not squander it, for he who conferred a life grant upon another that property will belong to him upon whom it is conferred whether he lives or dies, and (would pass on) to his successors (as heritage).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَمْوَالَكُمْ وَلاَ تُفْسِدُوهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَعْمَرَ عُمْرَى فَهِيَ لِلَّذِي أُعْمِرَهَا حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا وَلِعَقِبِهِ  

" The Helpers (Ansar) conferred the benefit of 'Umra, upon the Emigrants (Muhajirin), whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Keep your property to yourselves.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي خَيْثَمَةَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَيُّوبَ مِنَ الزِّيَادَةِ قَالَ جَعَلَ الأَنْصَارُ يُعْمِرُونَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَمْوَالَكُمْ  

This garden has returned to us. The sons of the one who had been given life grant said: This belonged to our father, during his lifetime and in case of his death. They took their dispute to Tariq, the freed slave of 'Uthman. He called Jabir and he gave testimony of Messenger of Allah ﷺ having said: Life grant belongs to one who is conferred upon this (privilege). Tariq gave this decision and then wrote to Abd al-Malik and informed him, Jabir bearing witness to it. Abd al-Malik said: Jabir has told the truth. Then Tariq gave a decree and, as a result thereof, it is to this day that the garden belongs to descendants of one who was conferred upon the life grant.  

أَعْمَرَتِ امْرَأَةٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَائِطًا لَهَا ابْنًا لَهَا ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ وَتُوُفِّيَتْ بَعْدَهُ وَتَرَكَتْ وَلَدًا وَلَهُ إِخْوَةٌ بَنُونَ لِلْمُعْمِرَةِ فَقَالَ وَلَدُ الْمُعْمِرَةِ رَجَعَ الْحَائِطُ إِلَيْنَا وَقَالَ بَنُو الْمُعْمَرِ بَلْ كَانَ لأَبِينَا حَيَاتَهُ وَمَوْتَهُ فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى طَارِقٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ فَدَعَا جَابِرًا فَشَهِدَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْعُمْرَى لِصَاحِبِهَا فَقَضَى بِذَلِكَ طَارِقٌ ثُمَّ كَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ ذَلِكَ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِشَهَادَةِ جَابِرٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ صَدَقَ جَابِرٌ فَأَمْضَى ذَلِكَ طَارِقٌ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الْحَائِطَ لِبَنِي الْمُعْمَرِ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ  

Sulaiman b. Yasir reported that Jabir gave this verdict. The inheritor has a right (to inherit) the life grant according to the statement of Jabir (b. 'Abdullah) (Allah be pleased with him) which he narrated from Messenger of Allah ﷺ.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

Life grant is permissible.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ  

Life grant is the heritage of one upon whom it is conferred.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْعُمْرَى مِيرَاثٌ لأَهْلِهَا  

Life grant is permissible.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ  

This hadith is narrated on the authority of Qatada with the same chain of transmitters.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مِيرَاثٌ لأَهْلِهَا أَوْ قَالَ جَائِزَةٌ
