Bayhaqi 11991 — Reports explaining the umra and ruqba mentioned

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ: " الْعُمْرَى أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ: هُوَ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ لَهُ وَلِوَرَثَتِهِ، وَالرُّقْبَى أَنْ يَقُولَ الْإِنْسَانُ: هُوَ لِآخِرِ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنِّي وَمِنْكَ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَكَانَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ يَذْهَبُ فِي الْقَدِيمِ إِلَى ظَاهِرِ مَا رَوَاهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ، وَهُوَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ، فَإِنْ جَعَلَهَا لَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ عَقِبَهُ، قَالَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: هِيَ بَاطِلَةٌ، وَقَالَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ: إِذَا مَاتَ الْمُعْمَرُ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى الْمُعْمِرِ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ فِي الْجَدِيدِ إِلَى سَائِرِ الرِّوَايَاتِ الَّتِي دَلَّتْ عَلَى أَنَّهُ إِذَا جَعَلَهَا لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ وَسَلَّمَهَا إِلَيْهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ الْمَذْهَبُ، وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الرُّقْبَى.
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: 'Umra is that a man says to another: It is yours as long as you live. When he says that, it becomes his and his heirs'. And ruqba is that a person says: It belongs to whichever of us two dies last.
The Shaykh says: In his old position, Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) followed the apparent meaning of what al-Zuhri narrated, namely that he gives it to him and his heirs. If he did not mention the heirs, he said in one place that it is void, and in another place he said: When the recipient dies, it returns to the giver. Then in his new position he followed the other narrations, which show that when he gives it to him for his lifetime and hands it over to him, it belongs to him and his heirs. This is the (adopted) position, and the same applies to ruqba.
