حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی بْنِ فَارِسٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَنَسٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَی لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَإِنَّهَا لِلَّذِي يُعْطَاهَا لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَی الَّذِي أَعْطَاهَا لِأَنَّهُ أَعْطَی عَطَائً وَقَعَتْ فِيهِ الْمَوَارِيثُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3553
Narrated Jabir: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone has property given him in life-tenancy for the use of himself and his descendants, it belongs to the one to whom it is given and does not return to the one who gave it, because he gave a gift which may be inherited.
