The Chapters on Gifts from Sunan Ibn Majah

2375 It was narrated that Numan bin Bashir said that his father took him to the Prophet (saw) and said: Bear witness that I have given Numan such and such from my wealth. He said: Have you given all your children something like that which you have given to Numan? He said: No. He said: Then let someone other than me bear witness to that. And he said: Would you not like all your children to honor you equally? He said: Of course. He said: Then do not do this. (Sahih) 2376 It was narrated from Numan bin Bashir that his father gave him a gift of a slave, and he came to the Prophet (saw) so that he could witness the gift. He said: Have you given something to all your children? He said: No. He said: Then take back (your gift). (Sahih) 2377 It was narrated from Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar, who attributed the Hadith to the Prophet (saw, that he said: It is not permissible for a man to give a gift then take it back, except what a father gives to his child. (Sahih) 2378 It was narrated from Amr bin Shubah, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet of Allah (saw) said: None of you should take back a gift, except a father (taking it back) from his son. (Sahih) 2379 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: There is no lifelong grant. Whoever is given something as a lifelong grant, it is his. (Hasan) 2380 It was narrated that Jabir said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: Whoever gives a lifelong grant to a man, it belongs to him (the recipient) and to his heirs. His (the givers) words put an end to his right to it, and it belongs to the one to whom it was given for life and to his heirs. (Sahih) 2381 It was narrated from Zaid bin Thabit that the Prophet (saw) ruled that a gift given for life belongs to the heirs (of the recipient). (Sahih) 2382 It was narrated from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: There is no Ruqba. Whoever is given a gift on the basis of Ruqba, it belongs to him, whether he lives or dies. (Sahih) He (the narrator) said: Ruqba is when one man says to another: When either of us dies. 2383 It was narrated from Jabir bin Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Umra belongs to the one to whom it was given, and Ruqba belongs to the one to whom it was given. (Sahih) 2384 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: The likeness of one who takes back his gift is that of a dog that eats until it is full and vomits; then it goes back to its vomit and eats it again. (Sahih)

2385 It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: The one who takes back his gift is like the one who goes back to his vomit. (Sahih) 2386 It was narrated from Ibn Umar that the Prophet (saw) said: The one who takes back his gift is like the dog that goes back to its vomit. (Sahih) 2387 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: A man has more right to his gift so long as he has not gotten something in return for it. (Sahih) 2388 It was narrated from Amr bin Shuaib, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, in a sermon that he delivered: It is not permissible for a woman to dispose of her wealth except with her husbands permission, once he has married her. (Sahih) 2389 It was narrated from Abdullah bin Yahya, one of the sons of Kab bin Malik, from his father, from his grandfather, that his grandmother Khairah, the wife of Kab bin Malik, came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) with some jewelry belonging to her, and said, I am giving this in charity. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to her: It is not permissible for a woman to dispose of her wealth without her husbands permission. Did you ask Kabs permission? She said: Yes. So the Messenger of Allah (saw) sent or Kab bin Malik, her husband, and said, Did you give Khairah permission to give her jewelry in charity? He said: Yes. So the Messenger of Allah (saw) accepted it from her. (Daif)
