موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الرهونBook: On the Explanation of Pledges (Mortgages)
بَابُ مَا لَا يَجُوزُ مِنَ الْعَطِيَّةِWhat is Not Permissible in Gifts
Hadith 1455Q3
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : مَنْ أَعْطَى عَطِيَّةً لَا يُرِيدُ ثَوَابَهَا ثُمَّ مَاتَ الْمُعْطَى، فَوَرَثَتُهُ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ، وَإِنْ مَاتَ الْمُعْطِي، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْبِضَ الْمُعْطَى عَطِيَّتَهُ، فَلَا شَيْءَ لَهُ. وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ أُعْطِيَ عَطَاءً لَمْ يَقْبِضْهُ. فَإِنْ أَرَادَ الْمُعْطِي أَنْ يُمْسِكَهَا، وَقَدْ أَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهَا حِينَ أَعْطَاهَا، فَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، إِذَا قَامَ صَاحِبُهَا أَخَذَهَا.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person gives something for the sake of Allah, and then the recipient dies before taking possession, then his heirs will take his place. If the giver dies before the recipient takes possession, then the recipient will not receive anything, because due to the lack of possession, the gift becomes void. If the giver withholds it and there are no witnesses to the gift, then it is not permissible. When the recipient stands to take it, he may take it.
