Sahih Muslim Book - 24, Hadith - 4191
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدٍ - قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْعُمْرَى الَّتِى أَجَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنْ يَقُولَ هِىَ لَكَ وَلِعَقِبِكَ. فَأَمَّا إِذَا قَالَ هِىَ لَكَ مَا عِشْتَ. فَإِنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا. قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ وَكَانَ الزُّهْرِىُّ يُفْتِى بِهِ.
It was narrated that Jabir said: "The kind of gift for life that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) allowed is only when a person says: 'It is for you and your children.' But if he says it is yours as long as you live, then it goes back to its owner." Ma'mar said: "Az-Zuhri used to issue Fatwas to that effect."

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
