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.

Narrated Said 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 mast –
igar 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.”
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 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.
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 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.”
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 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). AbdurRahman (a sub-narrator) wondered, “Was her
husband a slave or a free man?” Shu’ba (another sub-narrator) said, “I asked ‘Abdur-Rahman wheth –
er 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.”

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.”

Volume 3 – 585 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 47: GIFTS
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 fore-leg which he ate completely
while he was in the state of Ihram .
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 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 re –
maining 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.
