سنن نسائی · Hadith 3779

Al-Laith narrated from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman, from Jabir, who said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah say: ‘Whoever gives a life long gift to a man, it belongs to him and to his heirs; his words (when he gave the gift) put an end to his rights over it, and it belongs to the one to whom it was given on the basis of ‘Umra, and to his heirs.” (Sahih)
