أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي فُدَيْکٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَی فِيمَنْ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَی لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَهِيَ لَهُ بَتْلَةٌ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمُعْطِي مِنْهَا شَرْطٌ وَلَا ثُنْيَا قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ لِأَنَّهُ أَعْطَی عَطَائً وَقَعَتْ فِيهِ الْمَوَارِيثُ فَقَطَعَتْ الْمَوَارِيثُ شَرْطَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3782
Ibn AbI Dhi’b narrated from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salamah, from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ruled — concerning a person who has been given a lifelong gift (‘Umra) — that it belongs to him and to his descendents: “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.” (Sahih)
