Hadith 990
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ ، قَالَ : أنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ : أنا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَنِي عَطَاءٌ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لا رُقْبَى ، وَلا عُمْرَى ، فَمَنْ أُعْمِرَ شَيْئًا ، أَوْ أُرْقِبَهُ فَهُوَ لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ وَمَمَاتَهُ " ، قَالَ : وَالرُّقْبَى : أَنْ يَقُولَ هُوَ لِلآخِرِ مِنِّي وَمِنْكَ ، وَالْعُمْرَى : أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ أَنْ يَعْمُرَهُ حَيَاتَهُمَا ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ : فَإِنْ أَعْطَاهُ سَنَةً أَوْ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ شَيْئًا يُسَمِّيهِ فَهِيَ مَنِيحَةٌ يَمْنَحَهَا إِيَّاهُ لَيْسَ بِعُمْرَى .
Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Neither Raqba (taking back) is permissible nor Umra. Whoever is given Umra or Raqba, then that thing belongs to him in his lifetime and after his death as well. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Raqba is that a man says to another: "From my side and your side (i.e., if I die first, it is yours, and if you die first, it will return to me)," and Umra is that he gives that thing to him for his lifetime. Ata says: If it is given for a year or two years or for a fixed period, it is a gift, not Umra.
