English translation

3555. It was narrated from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhri, from Abū Salamah, from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh, who said: "The life-long gift, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ allowed, was when one says: 'It is for you and your descendants.' But if he says: 'It is for you so long as you live,' then it goes back to its owner." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

3555 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: إِنَّمَا الْعُمْرَى الَّتِي أَجَازَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنْ يَقُولَ: «هِيَ لَكَ وَلِعَقِبِكَ» فَأَمَّا إِذَا قَالَ: «هِيَ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ» فَإِنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا
