Gifts

51/22. Chapter:

The giving of a gift by one person to a group

وَقَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ لِلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَابْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ وَرِثْتُ عَنْ أُخْتِي عَائِشَةَ بِالْغَابَةِ، وَقَدْ أَعْطَانِي بِهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ، فَهُوَ لَكُمَا.Asma' said to Al-Qasim bin Muhammad and Ibn Abu 'Atiq, "I inherited some land in the forest from my sister 'Aishah, and Mu'awiya offered me one hundred thousand for it, but I give it to both of you as a gift."

Sahih Bukhari : 2602

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ غُلاَمٌ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ الأَشْيَاخُ فَقَالَ لِلْغُلاَمِ ‏ "‏ إِنْ أَذِنْتَ لِي أَعْطَيْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لأُوثِرَ بِنَصِيبِي مِنْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا‏.‏ فَتَلَّهُ فِي يَدِهِ‏.‏

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: A drink (milk mixed with water) was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) who drank some of it while a boy was sitting on his right and old men on his left. The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) then put that container in the boy's hand. (See Hadith No. 541).
