حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ عُمْرَى فَمَنْ أُعْمِرَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
“There is no lifelong grant. Whoever is given something as a lifelong grant, it is his.' ”
Narrated by It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

Context

This hadith addresses the concept of property rights and the ethics surrounding ownership. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ states that there is no lifelong grant, meaning that once something is given as a gift or grant, it belongs to the recipient. This reinforces the idea that ownership is a serious matter and that once a property is transferred, the previous owner has no claim over it. It emphasizes the importance of clarity and integrity in transactions.

Modern Application

In modern life, this principle can be applied to various transactions, reminding us to respect ownership and the rights of others. Whether in personal relationships or business dealings, understanding and honoring property rights fosters trust and fairness.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Ethics of Interaction and Property Rights because it underscores the significance of clear ownership and ethical conduct in dealings involving property.
