أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْکَرِيمِ عَنْ عَطَائٍ قَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْعُمْرَی وَالرُّقْبَی قُلْتُ وَمَا الرُّقْبَی قَالَ يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ هِيَ لَکَ حَيَاتَکَ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ فَهُوَ جَائِزَةٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3763
‘Abdul-KarIm narrated from ‘Ata’, who said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade ‘Umra and Ruqba.” I said: “What is Ruqba?” He said: “When one man says to another: ‘This belongs to you for the rest of your life.’ But if you do that, it is permissible.”(Sahih).
