سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3557
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided a case of a woman from the Ansar to whom an orchard of date-palms was given by her son. She then died. Her son said: I gave it to her for her life, and she has brothers. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It belongs to her during her life and after death. He then said: I gave a sadaqah (charity to her. He replied: It is more unexpected from you.
