Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3739
This Hadith brings 'Umra and Ruqba together in one clear statement. The Messenger of Allah says that 'Umra is permissible for the person to whom it is given, and Ruqba is also permissible for the person to whom it is given. The focus is the recipient and the effective result of each gift. The narration does not provide definitions or list further conditions, so the explanation should not add details that are absent. For people searching about 'Umra and Ruqba in Islam, the text confirms that both arrangements take effect for their recipients. It also reminds a giver that these are meaningful property transfers, not casual words with no outcome.
What we learn from this hadith
- 'Umra is permissible for its recipient.
- Ruqba is permissible for its recipient.
