Mishkat al-Masabih #2890
Business Transactions
Jabir reported the Prophet 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.
