Shua’ib narrated from Az-Zuhri, who said: “Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman narrated to me, that Jabir told him: ‘The Messenger of Allah ruled that whoever gives a lifelong gift to a man, it belongs to him and to his heirs. It belongs to the one to whom it was given, on the basis of ‘Umra. It will be inherited from its recipient according to Allah’s (injunctions on) inheritance and its rights.’”

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.”

(A different chain) from Al-Awza’i, from Az-Zuhri, from ‘Urwah and Abu Salamah, from Jabir, who said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Umra (a lifelong gift) belongs to the one to whom it was given; it belongs to him and to his descendants, and is inherited by those who inherit from him.’”

It was narrated from Hisham bin ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, that the Messenger of Allah said: “Any man who gives a lifelong gift to another man, it belongs to him (the recipient) and to his descendants, and to those who inherit from him.”

Al-Laith narrated from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman, from Jabir, who said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah say: ‘Whoever gives a life-long gift to a man, it belongs to him and to his heirs; his words (when he gave the gift) put an end to his rights over it, and it belongs to the one to whom it was given on the basis of ‘Umra, and to his heirs.’”

Hushaim narrated from Dawud, from Abu Az-Zubair, from Jabir, who said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Umra is permissible for the one to whom it is given, and Ruqba is permissible for the one to whom it is given.’”

Al-Awza’i narrated from Az-Zuhri, from ‘Urwah, from Jabir, who said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Whoever is given something on the basis of ‘Umra, it belongs to him and to his descendants, and is inherited by those who inherit from him.’”

(A different chain) from Abu ‘Amr, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salamah, from Jabir, who said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Umra (a lifelong gift) belongs to the one to whom it was given; it belongs to him and to his heirs, and is inherited by those among his descendants who inherit from him.’”

Al-Hajjaj bin As-Sawwaf narrated from Abu Az-Zubair, who said: “Jabir said: ‘The Messenger of Allah said: “O Ansar! Hold on to your wealth, and do not give it on the basis of ‘Umra. For whoever gives something on the basis of ‘Umra, it belongs to the one to whom he gave it on that basis, for the rest of his life and after he dies.”‘”

Hisham narrated from Abu Az-Zubair, from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah said: “Hold on to your wealth and do not give it on the basis of ‘Umra. For whoever is given something on the basis of ‘Umra for the rest of his life, it belongs to him for the rest of his life and after his death.”
