Keep your property to yourselves and do not squander it, for he who conferred a life grant upon another that property will belong to him upon whom it is conferred whether he lives or dies, and (would pass on) to his successors (as heritage). (Using translation from Muslim 1625i)  

أحمد:١٥١٣٦حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَمْوَالَكُمْ وَلَا تَقْسِمُوهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَعْمَرَ عُمْرَى فَهِيَ لِلَّذِي أَعْمَرَهَا حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًاوَلِعَقِبِهِ
