Sahih Muslim 1625d (Book 24, Hadith 29) #11303
Gift Giving with Conditions

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that a person can give a gift to another person with the condition that it will return to its owner after the donee's death.

Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said: The Umra for which Allah's Messenger gave sanction that a person may say: This (property) is for you and for your descendants. And when he said: That is for you as long as you live, then it will return to its owner (after the death of the donee (the person who receives the gift ) ). Ma'mar said: Zuhri used to give religious verdict according to this.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدٍ - قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ، الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْعُمْرَى الَّتِي أَجَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَقُولَ هِيَ لَكَ وَلِعَقِبِكَ ‏.‏ فَأَمَّا إِذَا قَالَ هِيَ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ ‏.‏ فَإِنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ وَكَانَ الزُّهْرِيُّ يُفْتِي بِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be generous and kind towards others
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the concept of giving gifts with conditions. It is narrated by Jabir and Ma'mar, who both explain that when someone gives a gift to another person, they can add a condition that it will return to its original owner after the donee's death. This was also confirmed by Zuhri who used to give religious verdicts based on this hadith. This teaches us about generosity and kindness towards others while still protecting our own rights in case something happens in the future. We should be generous but also mindful of our own interests at the same time.
