Hadith 3555
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا الْعُمْرَى الَّتِي أَجَازَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقُولَ : هِيَ لَكَ وَلِعَقِبِك ، فَأَمَّا إِذَا قَالَ : هِيَ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ فَإِنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا " .
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: 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.
