حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا رُقْبَی فَمَنْ أُرْقِبَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ وَمَمَاتَهُ قَالَ وَالرُّقْبَی أَنْ يَقُولَ هُوَ لِلْآخَرِ مِنِّي وَمِنْکَ مَوْتًا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2382
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: "There is no Ruqba. Whoever is given a gift on the basis of Ruqba, it belongs to him, whether he lives or dies." He (the narrator) said: "Ruqba is when one man says to another: 'When either of us dies.'”
