Hadith 16.2
Business Transactions
ENGLISH
Jabir reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying, “Do not give property to go to the survivor* and do not give life-tenancy, for if anyone is given either the property goes to his heirs." *This is said to be objectionable, as it may lead to the men hoping the other will die first. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
