Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Nafi' narrates that Hazrat Hafsa bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with her) accommodated Asma bint Yazid in her room for her entire life. When Hazrat Hafsa passed away, that room was taken by Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz wrote in a letter that residence is a borrowed thing. If the one giving residence says that it is for this person and for those who come after him, then it will be for him and for those who come after him, as long as even one woman among them remains. If not even one woman remains, then it will return to the heirs.

Hazrat Ata says that if a man accommodated another man and those after him in one of his houses, then he died, his heirs cannot evict him and those after him as long as even one of them remains.

Hazrat Ibn Abi Mulaika narrates that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) when she allowed someone to stay in any of her houses, she would say: "I am letting you stay until I consider it appropriate."

Hazrat Shurayh says that the matter of giving someone residence is at the discretion of the owner of the house.

It is narrated similarly through another chain.

Hasan and Hazrat Sha'bi say that residence is a borrowed thing.

Ibrahim narrates that I asked Ibrahim, "If a man lets someone stay in his house, and then both the host and the guest pass away, what is the ruling?" He replied, "The house will go to the heirs." I said, "O Abu Imran! Was it not said that if a person gives ownership of something to someone for their lifetime, then after them it belongs to their heirs?" He replied, "This applies to cultivated lands. As for residence, produce, and loans, they return to the heirs."

Hazrat Zuhri says that if a person, while entrusting something to someone, says, "This is for you and your family," then it will be for him and his heirs. And if he says, "This is for you during your lifetime," then it will return to the heirs of the one who gave the gift.

Ibrahim says that residence is a loan.

Muhammad narrates that a dispute between some brothers was brought before the court of Hazrat Shurayh. One said that he arranged my marriage, provided me with accommodation, and gave me shelter. Hazrat Shurayh asked whether he had indeed arranged his marriage and provided accommodation. When the people confirmed this, Judge Shurayh said that two just witnesses should testify that he preferred you over himself during his lifetime.
