Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 34, Hadith 15

Ibn Juraij said: ‘Ata’ informed me, from Habib bin Abi Thabit, from Ibn ‘Umar -and he did not hear it from him- he said: ‘Allah’s Messenger said: “There is no ‘Umra and no Ruqba. Whoever is given something on the basis of ‘Umra or Ruqba, it belongs to him for the rest of his life and after he dies.”‘ ‘Ata’ said: “It belongs to the other.”

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ‏{‏ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏}‏ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ لاَ عُمْرَى وَلاَ رُقْبَى فَمَنْ أُعْمِرَ شَيْئًا أَوْ أُرْقِبَهُ فَهُوَ لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ وَمَمَاتَهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ هُوَ لِلآخَرِ ‏.‏
