Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ شِبْلٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ حُجْرٍ الْمَدَرِيِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَعْمَرَ عُمْرَى فَهِيَ لِمُعْمِرِهِ مَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتَهُ لَا تُرْقِبُوا فَمَنْ أَرْقَبَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ سَبِيلُ الْمِيرَاثِ.
English Translation
Abdullah ibn al-Harith told us, from Shibl, from Amr ibn Dinar, from Tawus, from Hujr al-Madari, from Zayd ibn Thabit, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Whoever gives a gift for life ('umra), it belongs to the one to whom it was given, for his life and his death. Do not make ruqba gifts; whoever makes a ruqba gift of something, it follows the rule of inheritance.'
