Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6308 — What has been reported regarding
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَعْطَى أُمَّهُ حَدِيقَةً مِنْ نَخْلٍ حَيَاتَهَا فَمَاتَتْ فَجَاءَ إِخْوَتُهُ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ فِيهِ شَرْعٌ سَوَاءٌ فَأَبَى فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَهُمْ مِيرَاثًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that an Ansari gave a date orchard to his mother for her lifetime. When his mother passed away, the other brothers of this Ansari came and said, "We are all equal partners in this orchard." But he refused. So they brought the dispute to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) divided the orchard among them as inheritance.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … According to this hadith, by restricting the grant only to the lifetime of the concerned person, an ‘umra (life grant) will become effective.
