حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ لأَهْلِهَا وَالرُّقْبَى جَائِزَةٌ لأَهْلِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ مَوْقُوفًا وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنَّ الرُّقْبَى جَائِزَةٌ مِثْلَ الْعُمْرَى ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ ‏.‏ وَفَرَّقَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ بَيْنَ الْعُمْرَى وَالرُّقْبَى فَأَجَازُوا الْعُمْرَى وَلَمْ يُجِيزُوا الرُّقْبَى ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَتَفْسِيرُ الرُّقْبَى أَنْ يَقُولَ هَذَا الشَّىْءُ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ فَإِنْ مِتَّ قَبْلِي فَهِيَ رَاجِعَةٌ إِلَىَّ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ الرُّقْبَى مِثْلُ الْعُمْرَى وَهِيَ لِمَنْ أُعْطِيَهَا وَلاَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَى الأَوَّلِ ‏.‏
