[Machine] Al-Zuhri said: "Verily, a lifespan is only considered to have been lived when its aftermath follows it. But if its aftermath does not come after it, then it belongs to the one who sets the condition." Qatadah said: "Athaa ibn Abi Rabah was asked and he said: 'Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Life is a reward.'" Qatadah said: "Al-Zuhri mentioned that the caliphs did not judge by this ruling." Athaa said: "Abdul Malik ibn Marwan settled the matter."
الزُّهْرِيُّ إِنَّمَا الْعُمْرَى إِذَا أُعْمِرَ وَعَقِبُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَجْعَلْ عَقِبَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ كَانَ لِلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ شَرْطَهُ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَسُئِلَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ» قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ كَانَ الْخُلَفَاءُ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِهَذَا قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فَقَضَى بِهَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ
