وَفِي لَفْظٍ : { إِنَّمَا اَلْعُمْرَى اَلَّتِي أَجَازَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -أَنْ يَقُولَ: هِيَ لَكَ وَلِعَقِبِكَ، فَأَمَّا إِذَا قَالَ: هِيَ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ، فَإِنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا } 1 .1 - صحيح . رواه مسلم ( 1625 ) ( 23 ) وزاد : " قال معمر : وكان الزهري يفتي به ".
Narrated A narration has:
"The life-tenancy which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) allowed was only that in which one says, 'It is for you and your descendants.' However, if he says, 'It is yours as long as you live', it returns to its owner."
وَعَنْ عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ : { حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ , فَأَضَاعَهُ صَاحِبُهُ , فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ بَائِعُهُ بِرُخْصٍ، فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -عَنْ ذَلِكَ . فَقَالَ : " لَا تَبْتَعْهُ , وَإِنْ أَعْطَاكَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ … } اَلْحَدِيثَ. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ 1 .1 - صحيح . رواه البخاري ( 2622 ) ، ومسلم (1620) وزادا : "فإن العائد في صدقته ، كالكلب يعود في قيئه ".
Narrated Narrated 'Umar (RA):
I provided a man with a horse to ride in Allah's Cause, but as he did not look after it well, I thought he would sell it at a cheap price. I therefore asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about that and he said, "Do not buy it even if he gives it to you for a Dirham..." The narrator reported the rest of the Hadith.
"Keep your properties for yourselves and do not squander them, for if anyone gives a life-tenancy it goes to the one to whom it is given, both during his life and after his death, and to his descendants."
