مسلم:١٦٢٥d – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدٍ قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

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
