(Book 36, Hadith 43) #36514
Life Pension Belongs to Recipient

SUMMARY: A life pension given to someone is theirs and their posterity's, and it cannot be taken away by the one who gave it.

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar- Rahman ibn Awf from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If someone is given a life pension, for him and his posterity, it belongs to the person to whom it has been given. It never reverts to the one who gave it because he gave a gift and the rules of inheritance apply to it".
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَى لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ فَإِنَّهَا لِلَّذِي يُعْطَاهَا لاَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَى الَّذِي أَعْطَاهَا أَبَدًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ لأَنَّهُ أَعْطَى عَطَاءً وَقَعَتْ فِيهِ الْمَوَارِيثُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Give gifts generously and fairly; Follow Islamic laws regarding inheritance

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when someone is given a life pension, they are entitled to keep it for themselves and their posterity. It cannot be taken away by the one who gave it because they have already given a gift. The rules of inheritance apply to this gift as well. This means that if something happens to the recipient of the pension before they can pass it on to their posterity, then according to Islamic law, the pension will go into inheritance with other assets of theirs. This hadith teaches us about generosity and fairness in giving gifts or pensions as well as following Islamic laws regarding inheritance.
