37. Lifelong Gifts
٣٧۔ كِتَابُ الْعُمْرَى
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is not permissible for a woman to give a gift from her wealth without the permission of her husband, as he is responsible for her protection." The wording is from Muhammad, hadith number 6556. Isma'il bin Mas'ood informed us, saying: Khalid narrated to us, saying: Husayn al-Mualim narrated to me, from 'Amr bin Shuayb, that his father narrated to him, from Abdullah bin Amr.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَجُوزُ لِامْرَأَةٍ هِبَةٌ فِي مَالِهَا إِذَا مَلَكَ زَوْجُهَا عِصْمَتَهَا» اللَّفْظُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ 6556 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو
"The delegation of Thaqif came to the Messenger of Allah, bringing a gift with them. He said: 'Is it a gift or charity?' If it was a gift it would be for the sake of the Messenger of Allah and to have their needs met, and if it was charity then it would be in the cause of Allah. They said: 'It is a gift.' So he accepted it from them, and sat with them, and they asked questions, until he prayed Zuhr with 'Asr." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3758)
قَدِمَ وَفْدُ ثَقِيفٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُمْ هَدِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ «أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ؟ فَإِنْ كَانَ هَدِيَّةً فَإِنَّهَا يُبْتَغَى بِهَا وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ وَقَضَاءُ الْحَاجَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَدَقَةً فَإِنَّمَا يُبْتَغَى بِهَا وَجْهُ اللهِ» قَالُوا لَا بَلْ هَدِيَّةٌ فَقَبِلَهَا مِنْهُمْ وَقَعَدَ مَعَهُمْ يُسَائِلُهُمْ وَيُسَائِلُونَهُ حَتَّى صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ مَعَ الْعَصْرِ
"I was thinking of not accepting gifts except from a Quraishi, an Ansari, a Thaqafi or a Dawsi." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3759)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَقْبَلَ هَدِيَّةً إِلَّا مِنْ قُرَشِيٍّ أَوْ أَنْصَارِيٍّ أَوْ ثَقَفِيٍّ أَوْ دَوْسِيٍّ»
"What is this?" It was said: "It was given in charity to Barirah." He said: "It is charity for her and a gift for us." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3760)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِلَحْمٍ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا؟» فَقِيلَ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ «هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ»
