Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

GIFTS

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: In order to promote mutual love otherwise it may came disharmony among you, but you should try to exchange gifts among yourselves. [Bukhari]

Hadrat Jabir (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “Accept gifts from one who does not want a gift in return otherwise it may cause disharmony amongst you, but you should try to make a gift in return. If he does not have the means to do so he should thank him express commendations before others. To say “Jazak Allah” is enough. He who does not thank his benefactor does not thank God. Just as it is undesirable to be ungrateful it is undesirable to express pride on what he has been given by others.”

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “He who does not thank people does not thank ALLAH.” [Ahmad, Tirmizi]

It occurs in traditions that if anyone offers you perfume or oil to anoint yourself with or milk to drink or a pillow to serve you as a prop, you should not avoid or refuse those things, for in accepting them you will not be under an unbearable burden of obligations, on the other hand it would please the persons who offers them. [Tirmizi]

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated the Prophet (SaIl allahu Afaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “Give presents to one another for the present removes rancor from the breast, a woman should not desist from sending even the gifts of half a trotter to her neighbour. [Tirmizi]
