Bava Basra 9:5 - 9:6

השולח סבלונות – it is the custom of grows on the morrow of the betrothal that they send to the house of the betrothed ornaments and kinds of precious goods and pitchers of wine and pitchers of oil, and sometimes, the groom goes to eat there.

אינן נגבין – if he (i.e., the groom) dies or she (i.e., the bride) dies, or he comes to divorce her, for on account of his love and joy of eating he pardoned, and especially when he at a Denar’s worth, but if he at less than a Denar, he did not pardon and he collects the nuptial gifts.

שלח סבלונות מרובים – and even a little, if he explained that on the connection that they come with her, to the house of her husband, then these are collected. But it is the way of things that [the Mishnah] took that it is the manner of nuptial gifts that they send them in order that they will come to the house of the husband, to be many. And those which they send in order that she can adorn herself with them in the house of her father, it is the manner to be few.

ושייר קרקע כל שהוא – (see Tractate Peah, Chapter 3, Mishnah 7 for a similar statement at the beginning of the Mishnah) and the same law applies if he left to himself movable, his gift is a gift. But if he stood and doesn’t return and he who acquired something from him on this same gift, as the gift of someone on their deathbed for a portion, requires acquisition, whether standing or not standing. But if he did not acquire it from his hand, the recipient did not acquire the gift, even if the person on his deathbed died. And especially, if he came to transfer/give possession the gift while living. But if he said: “Give to so-and-so this and that after his death,” he doesn’t require acquisition even if he left something to himself. And a person on his deathbed who came to give a a gift while living, if he did not leave anything to himself and stood, it goes back and even if they acquired it from his hand. It is a Mitzvah on account of death that he heard him when he said: “Woe is he who dies.” It (i.e., the gift) always returns [to its owner] whether he left [something to himself] or he did not leave [something to himself], and even if they acquired it from his hand. But if he died, the recipient acquired the gift, and even without acquisition.

לא כתב שכיב מרע – a pitcher of harvest and throws it into his bier, and even if it is not the language of gift of a healthy individual when he walked in the marketplace on his feet and didn’t leave anything.

הוא אומר שכיב מרע הייתי – and I have retracted, but the other says: “You were healthy and you cannot retract, he has to bring proof that he was on his deathbed, since after the present we follow, since presently, he is healthy. It is upon him to bring proof that he was on his deathbed at the time of the gift.

וחכמים אומרים – we don’t follow after the present but we say: “the claimant must produce evidence” (see Tractate Bava Kamma, Chapter 3, Mishnah 11 as well as the last line of our Mishnah). And the recipient of a gift who comes to remove it from the hand of the giver who is in possession of it, he must bring proof and witnesses that he (i.e., the giver) was healthy at that time, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.
