Gifts

51/36. Chapter:

It is permissible if somebody says, "I give this slave-girl to you for your service. ..."

وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ هَذِهِ عَارِيَّةٌ. وَإِنْ قَالَ كَسَوْتُكَ هَذَا الثَّوْبَ. فَهْوَ هِبَةٌ.Some people said, “She is regarded as something lent temporarily, but if someone says, ‘I give you this garment to wear,’ then it is a gift.”

Sahih Bukhari : 2635

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ هَاجَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِسَارَةَ، فَأَعْطَوْهَا آجَرَ، فَرَجَعَتْ فَقَالَتْ أَشَعَرْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ كَبَتَ الْكَافِرَ وَأَخْدَمَ وَلِيدَةً ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ فَأَخْدَمَهَا هَاجَرَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) Abraham migrated with Sarah. The people (of the town where they migrated) gave her Ajar (i.e. Hajar). Sarah returned and said to Abraham, "Do you know that Allah has humiliated that pagan and he has given a slave-girl for my service?"
