Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1142b
"عَنْ عمرَ قَالَ: مَا بالُ رِجالٍ يَنْحِلونَ أَوْلادَهم نِحَلًا ثم يُمْسِكُونَها، فإذا مات ابنُ أحدِهم قال: مالِى وفى يَدِى، وإذَا مَاتَ هُوَ قَالَ: قَدْ كُنتُ نَحلْتُهُ ولَدى ولا نِحْلَةَ إلا نِحْلةً يَحُوزُها الوَلَدُ أو الوالدُ، فَإنْ مَاتَ ورِثَهُ".

"'Umar said: "What is the matter with men who gift their children gifts and then withhold them? When one of their sons dies, he says: 'My property and it is in my hand.' And when he himself dies, he says: 'I had gifted it to my child.' There is no gift except a gift that the child or the parent takes possession of; if he dies, it passes to his heir.""
