أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَضَى

فِيمَنْ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَهِيَ لَهُ بَتْلَةٌ لاَ يَجُوزُ لِلْمُعْطِي مِنْهَا شَرْطٌ وَلاَ ثُنْيَا ‏.‏

Ibn Abi Dhi'b narrated from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salamah, from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah ruled -concerning a person who has been given a lifelong gift ('Umra)- that it belongs to him and to his descendants:

"It is undoubtedly his, and it is not permissible for the giver to stipulate any conditions or exceptions." Abu Salamah said: "Because he gave it as a gift and thus, it is subject to the same ruling as the estate, and the condition (that it will revert to the giver on the death of recipient) has become invalid."

Reported by An-Nasa’i (No. 3747) and Muslim (No. 1625e).

Al-Sindi — Hashiyat al-Sindi on Sunan al-Nasa'i

قَوْلُهُ ( فَهِيَ لَهُ بَتْلَة ) بِفَتْحِ الْمُوَحَّدَة وَسُكُون الْمُثَنَّاة الْفَوْقِيَّة أَيْ مِلْك وَاجِب لَا يَتَطَرَّقُ إِلَيْهِ نَقْص ( لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمُعْطِي ) بِكَسْرِ الطَّاء ( وَلَا ثُنْيَا ) عَلَى وَزْن دُنْيَا اِسْم بِمَعْنَى الِاسْتِثْنَاء أَيْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ مِنْهَا إِلَى نَفْسِهِ شَيْئًا بِشَرْطِ أَنَّهَا لَهُ بَعْد الْمَوْت أَوْ بِسَبَبِ أَنَّهُ اِسْتَثْنَى لَهُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا وَجَعَلَهُ لَهُ بَعْد الْمَوْت وَاَللَّه تَعَالَى أَعْلَم.…

Authentic Sunan Ibn Majah 2380

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever gives a lifelong grant to a man, it belongs to him (the recipient) and to his heirs. His (the giver's) words put an end to his right to it, and it belongs to the one to whom it was given for life and to his heirs.”

"‏ مَنْ أَعْمَرَ رَجُلاً عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَ قَوْلُهُ حَقَّهُ فِيهَا فَهِيَ لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَ وَلِعَقِبِهِ ‏"
