Gifts

3.740:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "O Muslim women! None
of you should look down upon the gift sent by her she−neighbor
even if it were the trotters of the sheep (fleshless part of
legs).
3.741:
Narrated `Urwa:
Aisha said to me, "O my nephew! We used to see the crescent,
and then the crescent and then the crescent in this way we saw
three crescents in two months and no fire (for cooking) used
to be made in the houses of Allah's Apostle. I said, "O my
aunt! Then what use to sustain you?" `Aisha said, "The two
black things: dates and water, our neighbors from Ansar had
some Manarh and they used to present Allah's Apostle some of
their milk and he used to make us drink."
3.742:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "I shall accept the
invitation even if I were invited to a meal of a sheep's
trotter, and I shall accept the gift even if it were an arm or
a trotter of a sheep."
3.743:
Narrated Sahl:
The Prophet sent for a woman from the emigrants and she had a
slave who was a carpenter. The Prophet said to her "Order your
slave to prepare the wood (pieces) for the pulpit." So, she
ordered her slave who went and cut the wood from the tamarisk
and prepared the pulpit, for the Prophet. When he finished the
pulpit, the woman informed the Prophet that it had been
finished. The Prophet asked her to send that pulpit to him, so
they brought it. The Prophet lifted it and placed it at the
place in which you see now."
3.744:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abu Qatada Al−Aslami: That his father
said, "One day I was sitting with some of the Prophet's
companions on the way to Mecca. Allah's Apostle was ahead of
us. All of my companions were in the state of Ihram while I
was a non−Muhrim. They saw an onager while I was busy
repairing my shoes, so they did not tell me about it but they
wished I had seen it. By chance I looked up and saw it. So, I
turned to the horse, saddled it and rode on it, forgetting to
take the spear and the whip. I asked them if they could hand
over to me the whip and the spear but they said, 'No, by
Allah, we shall not help you in that in any way.' I became
angry and got down from the horse, picked up both the things
and rode the horse again. I attacked the onager and
slaughtered it, and brought it (after it had been dead). They
took it (cooked some of it) and started eating it, but they
doubted whether it was allowed for them to eat it or not, as
they were in the state of Ihram. So, we proceeded and I hid
with me one of its fore−legs. When we met Allah's Apostle and
asked him about the case, he asked, 'Do you have a portion of
it with you?' I replied in the affirmative and gave him that
fleshy foreleg which he ate completely while he was in the
state of Ihram .
3.745:
Narrated Anas:
Once Allah's Apostle visited us in this house of ours and
asked for something to drink. We milked one of our sheep and
mixed it with water from this well of ours and gave it to him.
Abu Bakr was sitting on his left side and `Umar in front of
him and a bedouin on his right side. When Allah's Apostle
finished, `Umar said to Allah's Apostle "Here is Abu Bakr."
But Allah's Apostle gave the remaining milk to the bedouin and
said twice, "The (persons on the) right side! So, start from
the right side." Anas added, "It is a Sunna (the Prophet's
traditions)" and repeated it thrice.
3.746:
Narrated Anas:
We chased a rabbit at Mar−al−Zahran and the people ran after
it but were exhausted. I overpowered and caught it, and gave
it to Abu Talha who slaughtered it and sent its hip or two
thighs to Allah's Apostle. (The narrator confirms that he sent
two thighs). The Prophet accepted that. (The sub−narrator
asked Anas, "Did the Prophet; eat from it?" Anas replied, "He
ate from it.")
3.747:
Narrated As−Sa'b bin Jath−thama: An onager was presented to
Allah's Apostle at the place called Al−Abwa' or Waddan, but
Allah's Apostle rejected it. When the Prophet noticed the
signs of sorrow on the giver's face he said, "We have not
rejected your gift, but we are in the state of Ihram." (i.e.
if we were not in a state of Ihram we would have accepted your
gift, Fath−ul−Bari page 130, Vol. 6)
3.748:
Narrated Aisha:
The people used to look forward for the days of my (`Aisha's)
turn to send gifts to Allah's Apostle in order to please him.
3.749:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: Ibn `Abbas said: Um Hufaid, Ibn
`Abbas's aunt sent some dried yogurt (butter free), ghee
(butter) and a mastigar to the Prophet as a gift. The Prophet
ate the dried yogurt and butter but left the mastigar because
he disliked it. Ibn `Abbas said, "The mastigar was eaten at
the table of Allah's Apostle and if it had been illegal to
eat, it could not have been eaten at the table of Allah's
Apostle."
3.750:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Whenever a meal was brought to Allah's
Apostle, he would ask whether it was a gift or Sadaqa
(something given in charity). If he was told that it was
Sadaqa, he would tell his companions to eat it, but if it was
a gift, he would hurry to share it with them.
3.751:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Some meat was brought to the Prophet
and it was said that the meat had been given in charity to
Buraira. He said, "It was Sadaqa for Buraira but a gift for
us."
3.752:
Narrated `Aisha:
I intended to buy Buraira but her masters stipulated that her
Wala should be for them. When the Prophet was told about it,
he said to me, "Buy and manumit her, as the Wala' is for the
liberator." Once Buraira was given some meat, and the Prophet
asked, "What is this?" I said, "It has been given to Buraira
in charity." He said, "It is sadaqa for her but a gift for
us." Buraira was given the option (to stay with her husband or
to part with him). `Abdur−Rahman (a sub−narrator) wondered,
"Was her husband a slave or a free man?" Shu`ba (another
sub−narrator) said, "I asked `Abdur−Rahman whether her husband
was a slave or a free man. He replied that he did not know
whether he was a slave or a free man."
3.753:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya: Once the Prophet went to `Aisha and asked
her whether she had something (to eat). She said that she had
nothing except the mutton which Um 'Atiyya had sent to
(Buraira) in charity. The Prophet said that it had reached its
destination (i.e. it is no longer an object of charity.)
3.754:
Narrated `Aisha:
The people used to send gifts to the Prophet on the day of my
turn. Um Salama said: "My companions (the wives of the Prophet
Other than Aisha) gathered and they complained about it. So I
informed the Prophet about it on their behalf, but he remained
silent.
3.755:
Narrated `Urwa from `Aisha: The wives of Allah's Apostle were
in two groups. One group consisted of `Aisha, Hafsa, Safiyya
and Sauda; and the other group consisted of Um Salama and the
other wives of Allah's Apostle. The Muslims knew that Allah's
Apostle loved `Aisha, so if any of them had a gift and wished
to give to Allah's Apostle, he would delay it, till Allah's
Apostle had come to `Aisha's home and then he would send his
gift to Allah's Apostle in her home. The group of Um Salama
discussed the matter together and decided that Um Salama
should request Allah's Apostle to tell the people to send
their gifts to him in whatever wife's house he was. Um Salama
told Allah's Apostle of what they had said, but he did not
reply. Then they (those wives) asked Um Salama about it. She
said, "He did not say anything to me." They asked her to talk
to him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her
day, but he gave no reply. When they asked her, she replied
that he had given no reply. They said to her, "Talk to him
till he gives you a reply." When it was her turn, she talked
to him again. He then said to her, "Do not hurt me regarding
Aisha, as the Divine Inspirations do not come to me on any of
the beds except that of Aisha." On that Um Salama said, "I
repent to Allah for hurting you." Then the group of Um Salama
called Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle and sent her to
Allah's Apostle to say to him, "Your wives request to treat
them and the daughter of Abu Bakr on equal terms." Then Fatima
conveyed the message to him. The Prophet said, "O my daughter!
Don't you love whom I love?" She replied in the affirmative
and returned and told them of the situation. They requested
her to go to him again but she refused. They then sent Zainab
bint Jahsh who went to him and used harsh words saying, "Your
wives request you to treat them and the daughter of Ibn Abu
Quhafa on equal terms." On that she raised her voice and
abused `Aisha to her face so much so that Allah's Apostle
looked at `Aisha to see whether she would retort. `Aisha
started replying to Zainab till she silenced her. The Prophet
then looked at `Aisha and said, "She is really the daughter of
Abu Bakr."
3.756:
Narrated 'Azra bin Thabit Al−Ansari: When I went to Thumama
bin `Abdullah, he gave me some perfume and said that Anas
would not reject the gifts of perfume. Anas said: The Prophet
used not to reject the gifts of perfume.
3.757:
Narrated Al−Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan: When the delegates
of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet he stood up
amongst the people, Glorified and Praised Allah as He
deserved, and said, "Then after: Your brethren have come to
you with repentance and I see it logical to return to them
their captives; so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a
favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you like to stick to
his share till we give him his right from the very first Fai
(war booty) (1) which Allah will bestow on us, then (he can do
so)." The people replied, "We do that (to return the captives)
willingly as a favor for your sake."
3.758:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle used to accept gifts and used to give
something in return.
3.759:
Narrated An−Nu`man bin Bashir: that his father took him to
Allah's Apostle and said, "I have given this son of mine a
slave." The Prophet asked, "Have you given all your sons the
like?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet said, "Take
back your gift then."
3.760:
Narrated 'Amir:
I heard An−Nu`man bin Bashir on the pulpit saying, "My father
gave me a gift but `Amra bint Rawaha (my mother) said that she
would not agree to it unless he made Allah's Apostle as a
witness to it. So, my father went to Allah's Apostle and said,
'I have given a gift to my son from `Amra bint Rawaha, but she
ordered me to make you as a witness to it, O Allah's Apostle!'
Allah's Apostle asked, 'Have you given (the like of it) to
everyone of your sons?' He replied in the negative. Allah's
Apostle said, 'Be afraid of Allah, and be just to your
children.' My father then returned and took back his gift."
3.761:
Narrated Az−Zuhari: Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah told me that
`Aisha had said, "When the Prophet became sick and his
condition became serious, he requested his wives to allow him
to be treated in my house, and they allowed him. He came out
leaning on two men while his feet were dragging on the ground.
He was walking between Al−`Abbas and another man." 'Ubaidullah
said, "When I informed Ibn `Abbas of what `Aisha had said, he
asked me whether I knew who was the second man whom `Aisha had
not named. I replied in the negative. He said, 'He was `Ali
bin Abi Talib."
3.762:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "One who takes back his
gift (which he has already given) is like a dog that swallows
its vomit."
3.763:
Narrated Asma:
Once I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have no property except
what has been given to me by Az−Zubair (i.e. her husband). May
I give in charity?" The Prophet said, "Give in charity and do
not withhold it; otherwise Allah will withhold it back from
you . "
3.764:
Narrated Asma:
Allah's Apostle said, "Give (in charity) and do not give
reluctantly lest Allah should give you in a limited amount;
and do not withhold your money lest Allah should withhold it
from you."
3.765:
Narrated Kuraib:
the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas, that Maimuna bint Al−Harith
told him that she manumitted a slave−girl without taking the
permission of the Prophet. On the day when it was her turn to
be with the Prophet, she said, "Do you know, O Allah's
Apostle, that I have manumitted my slave−girl?" He said, "Have
you really?" She replied in the affirmative. He said, "You
would have got more reward if you had given her (i.e. the
slave−girl) to one of your maternal uncles."
3.766:
Narrated Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted to go on a journey, he would
draw lots as to which of his wives would accompany him. He
would take her whose name came out. He used to fix for each of
them a day and a night. But Sauda bint Zam`a gave up her
(turn) day and night to `Aisha, the wife of the Prophet in
order to seek the pleasure of Allah's Apostle (by that
action).
3.767:
Narrated Aisha:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have two neighbors; which of
them should I give a gift to?" The Prophet said, "(Give) to
the one whose door is nearer to you."
3.768:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: That he heard As−Sa'b bin
Jath−thama Al−Laithi, who was one of the companions of the
Prophet, saying that he gave the meat of an onager to Allah's
Apostle while he was at a place called Al−Abwa' or Waddan, and
was in a state of Ihram. The Prophet did not accept it. When
the Prophet saw the signs of sorrow on As−Sa'b's face because
of not accepting his present, he said (to him), "We are not
returning your present, but we are in the state of Ihram."
(See Hadith No. 747)
3.769:
Narrated Abu Humaid Al−Sa`idi: The Prophet appointed a man
from the tribe of Al−Azd, called Ibn 'Utbiyya for collecting
the Zakat. When he returned he said, "This (i.e. the Zakat) is
for you and this has been given to my as a present." The
Prophet said, "Why hadn't he stayed in his father's or
mother's house to see whether he would be given presents or
not? By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whoever takes something
from the resources of the Zakat (unlawfully) will be carrying
it on his neck on the Day of Resurrection; if it be a camel,
it will be grunting; if a cow, it will be mooing; and if a
sheep, it will be bleating." The Prophet then raised his hands
till we saw the whiteness of his armpits, and he said thrice,
"O Allah! Haven't I conveyed Your Message (to them)?"
3.770:
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet said to me, "I will give you so much (the Prophet
pointed thrice with his hands) when funds of Bahrain will come
to me." But the Prophet died before the money reached him.
(When it came) Abu Bakr ordered an announcer to announce that
whoever had a money claim on the Prophet or was promised to be
given something, should come to Abu Bakr. I went to Abu Bakr
and told him that the Prophet had promised to give me so much.
On that Abu Bakr gave me three handfuls (of money).
3.771:
Narrated Al−Miswar bin Makhrama: Allah's Apostle distributed
some cloaks but did not give anything thereof to Makhrama.
Makhrama said (to me), "O son! accompany me to Allah's
Apostle." When I went with him, he said, "Call him to me." I
called him (i.e. the Prophet ) for my father. He came out
wearing one of those cloaks and said, "We kept this (cloak)
for you, (Makhrama)." Makhrama looked at the cloak and said,
"Makhrama is pleased," (or the Prophet said), "Is Makhrama
pleased?"
3.772:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Apostle and said,
"I am ruined." The Prophet asked, "What do you mean?" He said,
"I had a sexual intercourse with my wife during Ramadan (while
fasting)." The Prophet asked him, "Can you manumit a slave?"
He replied in the negative. He then asked him, "Can you fast
for two successive months continuously" He replied in the
negative. The Prophet then asked him, "Can you feed sixty poor
persons?" He replied in the negative. In the meantime an
Ansari came with a basket full of dates. The Prophet said to
the man, "Take it and give it in charity (as an expiation of
your sin)." The man said "Should I give it to some people who
are poorer than we O Allah's Apostle? By Him Who has sent you
with the Truth, there is no family between Medina's two
mountains poorer than we." Allah's Apostle told him to take it
and provide his family with it."
3.773:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: My father was martyred on the
day (of the battle) of Uhud and his creditors demanded the
debt back in a harsh manner. So I went to Allah's Apostle and
informed him of that, he asked them to accept the fruits of my
garden and excuse my father, but they refused. So, Allah's
Apostle did not give them the fruits, nor did he cut them and
distribute them among them, but said, "I will come to you
tomorrow morning." So, he came to us the next morning and
walked about in between the date−palms and invoked Allah to
bless their fruits. I plucked the fruits and gave back all the
rights of the creditors in full, and a lot of fruits were left
for us. Then I went to Allah's Apostle, who was sitting, and
informed him about what happened. Allah's Apostle told `Umar,
who was sitting there, to listen to the story. `Umar said,
"Don't we know that you are Allah's Apostle? By Allah! you are
Allah's Apostle!"
3.774:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: A drink (milk mixed with water) was
brought to the Prophet who drank some of it while a boy was
sitting on his right and old men on his left. The Prophet said
to the boy, "If you permit me, I'll give (the rest of the
drink to) these old men first." The boy said, "I will not give
preference to any one over me as regards my share from you, O
Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet then put that container in the
boy's hand. (See Hadith No. 541).
3.775:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: I sold a camel to the Prophet on
one of the journeys. When we reached Medina, he ordered me to
go to the Mosque and offer two rak`at. Then he weighed for me
(the price of the camel in gold) and gave an extra amount over
it. A part of it remained with me till it was taken by the
army of Sham on the day of Harra."
3.776:
Narrated Shal bin Sa`d: A drink (of milk and water) was
brought to Allah's Apostle while a boy was sitting on his
right side and old men were sitting on his left side. He asked
the boy, "Will you allow me to give it to these (people)?" The
boy said, "No, by Allah, I will not allow anyone to take my
right from you." Then the Prophet put the bowl in the boy's
hand.
3.777:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle owed a man some debt
(and that man demanded it very harshly). The companions of the
Prophet wanted to harm him, but the Prophet said to them,
"Leave him, as the creditor has the right to speak harshly."
He then added, "Buy (a camel) of the same age and give it to
him." They said, "We cannot get except a camel of an older age
than that of his." He said, "Buy it and give it to him, as the
best amongst you is he who pays back his debt in the most
handsome way.'
3.778:
Narrated Marwan bin Al−Hakam and Al−Miswar bin Makhrama: When
the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet they
requested him to return their property and their captives. He
said to them, "This concerns also other people along with me
as you see, and the best statement to me is the true one, so
you may choose one of two alternatives; either the captives or
the property and (I have not distributed the booty for) I have
been waiting for you." When the Prophet had returned from
Ta'if, he waited for them for more than ten nights. When they
came to know that the Prophet would not return except one of
the two, they chose their captives. The Prophet then stood up
amongst the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as He
deserved, and then said, "Then after: These brothers of yours
have come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return
their captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a
favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to
his share till we pay him from the very first Fai (i.e. war
booty) which Allah will give us, then he can do so." The
people said, "We return (the captives) to them willingly as a
favor, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "I do not know
who of you has given his consent and who has not; so go back
and your leaders may present your decision to me." The people
went away, and their leaders discussed the matter with them,
and then came to the Prophet to tell him that all of them had
given their consent (to return the captives) willingly.
(Az−Zuhn, the sub−narrator said, "This is what we know about
the captives, of Hawazin.")
3.779:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: That the people sitting with that person
will be his co−owners. But this report is not confirmed by an
authentic narration. (Refer to Hadith 778)
3.780:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet took a camel of special age
from somebody on credit. Its owner came and demanded it back
(harshly). The Prophet said, "No doubt, he who has a right,
can demand it." Then the Prophet gave him an older camel than
his camel and said, "The best amongst you is he who repays his
debts in the most handsome way."
3.781:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: That he was in the company of the Prophet
on a journey, riding a troublesome camel belonging to `Umar.
The camel used to go ahead of the Prophet, so Ibn `Umar's
father would say, "O `Abdullah! No one should go ahead of the
Prophet." The Prophet said to him, "Sell it to me." `Umar said
to the Prophet "It is for you." So, he bought it and said, "O
`Abdullah! It is for you, and you can do with it what you
like."
3.782:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: `Umar bin Al−Khattab saw a
silken dress (cloak) being sold at the gate of the Mosque and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Would that you buy it and wear it on
Fridays and when the delegates come to you!" Allah's Apostle
said, "This is worn by the one who will have no share in the
Hereafter." Later on some silk dresses were brought and
Allah's Apostle sent one of them to `Umar. `Umar said, "How do
you give me this to wear while you said what you said about
the dress of 'Utarid?" Allah's Apostle said, "I have not given
it to you to wear." So, `Umar gave it to a pagan brother of
his in Mecca.
3.783:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Once the Prophet went to the house of
Fatima but did not enter it. `Ali came and she told him about
that. When 'All asked the Prophet about it, he said, "I saw a
(multicolored) decorated curtain on her door. I am not
interested in worldly things." `Ali went to Fatima and told
her about it. Fatima said, "I am ready to dispense with it in
the way he suggests." The Prophet ordered her to send it to
such−and−such needy people. "
3.784:
Narrated `Ali:
The Prophet gave me a silken dress as a gift and I wore it.
When I saw the signs of anger on his face, I cut it into
pieces and distributed it among my wives."
3.785:
Narrated Anas:
A Jubba (i.e. cloak) made of thick silken cloth was presented
to the Prophet. The Prophet used to forbid people to wear
silk. So, the people were pleased to see it. The Prophet said,
"By Him in Whose Hands Muhammad's soul is, the handkerchiefs
of Sa`d bin Mu`adh in Paradise are better than this." Anas
added, "The present was sent to the Prophet by Ukaidir (a
Christian) from Dauma."
3.786:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: A Jewess brought a poisoned (cooked)
sheep for the Prophet who ate from it. She was brought to the
Prophet and he was asked, "Shall we kill her?" He said, "No."
I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of
the mouth of Allah's Apostle .
3.787:
Narrated `Abdur−Rahman bin Abu Bakr: We were one−hundred and
thirty persons accompanying the Prophet who asked us whether
anyone of us had food. There was a man who had about a Sa of
wheat which was mixed with water then. A very tall pagan came
driving sheep. The Prophet asked him, "Will you sell us (a
sheep) or give it as a present?" He said, "I will sell you (a
sheep)." The Prophet bought a sheep and it was slaughtered.
The Prophet ordered that its liver and other Abdominal organs
be roasted. By Allah, the Prophet gave every person of the
one−hundred−and−thirty a piece of that; he gave all those of
them who were present; and kept the shares of those who were
absent. The Prophet then put its meat in two huge basins and
all of them ate to their fill, and even then more food was
left in the two basins which were carried on the camel (or
said something like it).
3.788:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: `Umar saw a silken cloak over a man for
sale and requested the Prophet to buy it in order to wear it
on Fridays and while meeting delegates. The Prophet said,
"This is worn by the one who will have no share in the
Hereafter." Later on Allah's Apostle got some silken cloaks
similar to that one, and he sent one to `Umar. `Umar said to
the Prophet "How can I wear it, while you said about it what
you said?" The Prophet said, "I have not given it to you to
wear, but to sell or to give to someone else." So, `Umar sent
it to his brother at Mecca before he embraced Islam.
3.789:
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: My mother came to me during the
lifetime of Allah's Apostle and she was a pagan. I said to
Allah's Apostle (seeking his verdict), "My mother has come to
me and she desires to receive a reward from me, shall I keep
good relations with her?" The Prophet said, "Yes, keep good
relation with her. "
3.790:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "He who takes back his
present is like him who swallows his vomit."
3.791:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "The bad example is not
for us. He who takes back his present is like a dog that
swallows back its vomit."
3.792:
Narrated `Umar bin Al−Khattab: I gave a horse in Allah's
Cause. The person to whom it was given, did not look after it.
I intended to buy it from him, thinking that he would sell it
cheap. When I asked the Prophet he said, "Don't buy it, even
if he gives it to you for one Dirham, as the person who takes
back what he has given in charity, is like a dog that swallows
back its vomit."
3.793:
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet gave the verdict that `Umra is for the one to whom
it is presented.
3.794:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Umra is permissible."
Ata said, "Jabir narrated the same to me from the Prophet."
3.795:
Narrated Anas:
Once the people of Medina were frightened, so the Prophet
borrowed a horse from Abu Talha called Al−Mandub, and rode it.
When he came back he said, "We have not seen anything (to be
afraid of), but the horse was very fast (having an energy as
inexhaustible as the water of the sea).
3.796:
Narrated Aiman:
I went to `Aisha and she was wearing a coarse dress costing
five Dirhams. `Aisha said, "Look up and see my slave−girl who
refuses to wear it in the house though during the lifetime of
Allah's Apostle I had a similar dress which no woman desiring
to appear elegant (before her husband) failed to borrow from
me."
3.797:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "What a good
Maniha (the she−camel which has recently given birth and which
gives profuse milk) is, and (what a good Maniha) (the sheep
which gives profuse milk, a bowl in the morning and another in
the evening) is!"
3.798:
Narrated Malik:
Maniha is a good deed of charity.
3.799:
Narrated Ibn Shihab Az−Zuhri: Anas bin Malik said, "When the
emigrants came Medina, they had nothing whereas the Ansar had
land and property. The Ansar gave them their land on condition
that the emigrants would give them half the yearly yield and
work on the land and provide the necessaries for cultivation."
His (i.e. Anas's mother who was also the mother of `Abdullah
bin Abu Talha, gave some date−palms to Allah' Apostle who gave
them to his freed slave−girl (Um Aiman) who was also the
mother of Usama bin Zaid. When the Prophet finished from the
fighting against the people of Khaibar and returned to Medina,
the emigrants returned to the Ansar the fruit gifts which the
Ansar had given them. The Prophet also returned to Anas's
mother the date−palms. Allah's Apostle gave Um Aiman other
trees from his garden in lieu of the old gift.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: That Allah's Apostle said, "There
are forty virtuous deeds and the best of them is the Maniha of
a she−goat, and anyone who does one of these virtuous deeds
hoping for Allah's reward with firm confidence that he will
get it, then Allah will make him enter Paradise because of
Hassan (a sub−narrator) said, "We tried to count those good
deeds below the Maniha; we mentioned replying to the sneezer,

himself or give it to his brother or keep it uncultivated."
Narrated Abu Sa`id: A bedouin came to the Prophet and asked
him about emigration. The Prophet said to him, "May Allah be
merciful to you. The matter of emigration is difficult. Have
you got some camels?" He replied in the affirmative. The
Prophet asked him, "Do you pay their Zakat?" He replied in the
affirmative. He asked, "Do you lend them so that their milk
may be utilized by others?" The bedouin said, "Yes." The
Prophet asked, "Do you milk them on the day off watering
them?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Do good deeds
beyond the merchants (or the sea) and Allah will never
disregard any of your deeds." (See Hadith No. 260, Vol. 5)

had given it to him gratis rather than charging him a fixed
rent.

it, for you should not get back what you have given in
charity."
