بَابُ مَا لَا يَجُوزُ مِنَ النُّحْلِChapter on What is Not Permissible in Gifts
Hadith 1454
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، قَالَ : " مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَنْحَلُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ نُحْلًا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُونَهَا، فَإِنْ مَاتَ ابْنُ أَحَدِهِمْ، قَالَ : مَا لِي بِيَدِي لَمْ أُعْطِهِ أَحَدًا، وَإِنْ مَاتَ هُوَ، قَالَ : هُوَ لِابْنِي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَعْطَيْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ، مَنْ نَحَلَ نِحْلَةً فَلَمْ يَحُزْهَا الَّذِي نُحِلَهَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ إِنْ مَاتَ لِوَرَثَتِهِ فَهِيَ بَاطِلٌ "
It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abd al-Qari that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: What is the matter with people that they give gifts to their sons and then take them back? If the son dies, they say: My wealth is in my possession, I have not given it to anyone. If the father dies, he says: That belongs to my son, I have already given it to him as a gift. Whoever gives a gift and does not make it effective, that is, the one to whom it is given does not take possession of it in such a way that when the recipient dies, it passes to his heirs, then that gift is invalid.
