Hadith 3740

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَهَا وَالرُّقْبَى جَائِزَةٌ لِمَنْ أُرْقِبَهَا وَالْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ " .
´Hajjaj narrated from Abu Az-Zubair, from Tawus, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said:` "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Umra (life-long gift) is permissible for the one to whom it is given, and Ruqba is permissible to the one to whom it is given, and the one who takes back his gift is like the one who goes back to his vomit.'"

Urdu marginal note:
The details of "Umra" are coming ahead. Umra and Ruqba are two forms of gift (hiba). Retraction is not permissible in a gift (hiba); therefore, retraction is also not permissible in these two forms. The condition of return is invalid.
