Muwatta' Malik 36-60

Translation

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 ﷺ 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."

  ومما احتج به أصحاب مالك فيما ذهبوا إليه من رد حديث جابر هذا بأن قالوا هو حديث منسوخ ولم يصحبه العمل وقال بعضهم لعل حامله وهم ومثل هذا من القول لا يعترض به الأحاديث الثابتة عند أحد من العلماء إلا بأن يتبين النسخ بما لا مدفع فيه
