English translation

3556. It was narrated from 'Aṭā', from Jābir, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not give property to go to the last one (of the giver and recipient who remains) alive, and do not give life-long gifts. Whoever is given something that goes to the last one alive, or is given a life-long gift, then it is for his heirs." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

3556 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تُرْقِبُوا وَلَا تُعْمِرُوا فَمَنْ أُرْقِبَ شَيْئًا أَوْ أُعْمِرَهُ فَهُوَ لِوَرَثَتِهِ»
