حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعُمْرَى لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَهَا وَالرُّقْبَى لِمَنْ أُرْقِبَهَا وَالْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2250
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "A life-long gift^ belongs to the one to whom it is given, and a gift given to the last one (of the giver or recipient) who remains alive^ belongs to the one to whom it was given, and the one who takes back his gift is like theone who goes back to his vomit."
