أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ الْعُمْرَى وَالرُّقْبَى سَوَاءٌ .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3711
This report from Ibn Abbas gives a very short comparison: 'Umra and Ruqba are the same. The wording connects the two gift terms but does not explain every feature of either one. For that reason, the explanation should remain limited. The core topic is the relationship between these two gift terms, with Umra and Ruqba as the main search terms. The narration does not state a separate ownership result, mention a return condition, or identify heirs in this exact wording. It simply treats the two as alike. Readers studying the wider topic may consult related narrations, but those details should not be inserted into this sentence. The practical reading is that, in the statement reported here, Ibn Abbas did not distinguish between 'Umra and Ruqba.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report treats 'Umra and Ruqba as the same.
- It does not explain the full terms of either gift.
- Ownership and inheritance details are not stated in this wording.
- Related narrations should remain separate from this brief statement.
