أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَعْمَرَ رَجُلًا عُمْرَی لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَهِيَ لَهُ وَلِمَنْ يَرِثُهُ مِنْ عَقِبِهِ مَوْرُوثَةٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3778
It was narrated from Hisham bin ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, that the Messenger of Allah said: “Any man who gives a lifelong gift to another man, it belongs to him (the recipient) and to his descendents, and to those who inherit from him.” (Sahih)
