The Book of ar-Ruqba
كتاب الرقبى
Chapter 1
ذِكْرِ الاِخْتِلاَفِ عَلَى ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ فِي خَبَرِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فِيهِ
It was narrated that Zayd ibn Thabit reported from the Prophet ﷺ: ‘Ar-Ruqba is permissible.’
It was narrated from Tawus, from a man, from Zayd ibn Thabit, that the Prophet ﷺ ruled that ar-ruqba belongs to the person to whom it is granted.
It was narrated from Tawus—possibly from Ibn Abbas—that he said: ‘There is no ar-ruqba. Whatever is granted as ar-ruqba becomes part of the inheritance.’
Chapter 2
ذِكْرِ الاِخْتِلاَفِ عَلَى أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Do not grant your property as ar-ruqba. Whoever grants something in this way, it belongs to the person to whom it was granted.’
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘A lifetime grant (umra) is valid for the one to whom it is given; ar-ruqba is valid for the one to whom it is given; and the one who takes back his gift is like one who returns to his vomit.’
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that he said: ‘Al-umra and ar-ruqba are the same.’
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that he said: ‘Neither ar-ruqba nor al-umra is permissible. Whoever is granted something as an umra, it is his; and whoever is granted something as ar-ruqba, it is his.’
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that he said: ‘Al-umra and ar-ruqba are not sound. Whoever grants something as an umra or ar-ruqba, it belongs to the recipient during his lifetime and after his death.’ Hanzalah transmitted it in mursal form.
It was narrated from Hanzalah, who heard Tawus say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Ar-ruqba is not lawful. Whoever receives something as ar-ruqba, it becomes part of his inheritance.’
It was narrated from Zayd ibn Thabit that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Al-umra is inheritance.’
It was narrated from Zayd that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Al-umra belongs to the heir.’
It was narrated from Zayd ibn Thabit that the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Al-umra is permissible.’
It was narrated from Zayd ibn Thabit that the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Al-umra belongs to the heir.’
It was narrated from Zayd ibn Thabit that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Al-umra belongs to the heir.’ And Allah knows best.
