Sunan an-NasaiHadith Number 3719
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حِبَّانُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ دِينَارٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ حُجْرٍ الْمَدَرِيِّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الْعُمْرَى لِلْوَارِثِ " . وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ .
Zaid bin Thabit Narrated from:
(A different chain) from Ma'mar who said: "I heard 'Amr bin Dinar, narrating from Tawus, from Hujr Al-Madari, from Zaid bin Thabit, that the Messenger of Allah said: "'Umra (a gift given for life) belongs to the heir." And Allah knows best."

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3719
This report states that 'Umra belongs to the heir and then closes with the words, 'And Allah knows best.' The central subject is the destination of a lifelong gift after death. According to the wording supplied, the 'Umra property is for the heir. It is not described here as returning to the original giver. The narration does not identify individual heirs, explain shares, or set out a full inheritance process, so those points should not be added. The phrase 'Allah knows best' also teaches care in presenting religious knowledge, though the direct legal content remains the short statement about the heir. The main search phrase is Umra lifelong gift belongs to heir, which clearly separates this topic from the pilgrimage of Umrah.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith states that 'Umra belongs to the heir.
- It does not say that the gift returns to the original giver.
- The report gives no list of heirs or inheritance shares.
- The narrator closes with the humble phrase, 'And Allah knows best.'
