Sayyiduna Jabir reports that an Ansari man declared his slave as Mudabbar (i.e., said: "After my death, you are free"), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sold him.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), a man instructed that his slave be freed after his death, and he had no wealth other than that slave. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Who will buy this slave from me? Nu'aym bin Abdullah said: I will buy him, so he bought him. Amr bin Dinar says that Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with both of them) said: He was a Coptic slave, who died in the very first year. Abu al-Zubair has added that the (slave's) name was Ya'qub.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Umra (a gift given for a lifetime) belongs to the heirs of the recipient, or it is permissible for the recipient’s family.

This narration is also reported from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever gives someone an ‘Umra (life grant) for him and his children, then it will belong to the one to whom it was given; the giver will not get it back, because he has given such a gift in which inheritance has taken effect.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that the ‘Umra which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared permissible is that (the giver) says:“This is for you and your heirs.”But if he says:“This thing is yours as long as you are alive,”then it will return to the owner. Mu’ammar says that this was also the fatwa of Zuhri.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ruqba belongs to the one to whom it is gifted, and Umra also belongs to the one to whom it is gifted (for a lifetime)."

Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Neither Raqba (taking back) is permissible nor Umra. Whoever is given Umra or Raqba, then that thing belongs to him in his lifetime and after his death as well. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Raqba is that a man says to another: "From my side and your side (i.e., if I die first, it is yours, and if you die first, it will return to me)," and Umra is that he gives that thing to him for his lifetime. Ata says: If it is given for a year or two years or for a fixed period, it is a gift, not Umra.

Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that my father, Bashir bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), took me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he could make him a witness to the gifts he had given me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“Have you given these gifts to all your sons?”He replied:“No!”The Prophet said:“Then take it back.”

Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that my father, Bashir bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), took me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he could make him a witness to the gifts he had given me.
