الحَثُّ عَلى قَبولِ الهَدِيَّةِ Enjoinment of Accepting a Gift

8ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لَو اُهدِيَ إلَيَّ كُراعٌ لَقَبِلتُهُ.

8– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘If an animal's leg was gifted to me, I would accept it.’[al-Kafi, v. 5, p. 143, no. 8]
 

9ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): مِن تَكرِمَةِ الرّجُلِ لأخيهِ المُسلمِ أن يَقبَلَ تُحفَتَهُ، ويُتحِفَهُ بما عِندَهُ، ولا يَتَكَلّفَ لَهُ شيئاً.

9– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘A person’s honouring of his Muslim brother entails accepting his gift, and that he give him from what he has, and that he does not burden him in any way.’[al-Kafi, v. 5, p. 143, no. 9]
 

10ـ عن رسولِ اللّه‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) ـ لِعائشةَ لَمّا أهدَت إلَيها امرأةٌ مِسكينَةٌ هَدِيَّةً فلَم تَقبَلْها رَحمَةً لَها ـ: ألاَ قَبِلتيها مِنها وكافَيتيها مِنها؟! فلا تَرى أ نَّكِ حَقَّرتيها ! يا عائشةُ، تَواضَعي فإنَّ اللّه‏َ يُحِبُّ المُتواضِعينَ ويُبغِضُ المُستَكبِرينَ .

10– The Prophet (SAWA) said to Aisha when a poor lady gave her a gift and she did not accept it in compassion for her, ‘Why did you not accept it and recompense her with its equivalent?! Do you not see that you have humiliated her? O Aisha, be humble for Allah loves the humble and hates the haughty.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 14482]
