حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ، عَنْ مُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ ، يَذْكُرُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَا خَيْرَ الْبَرِيَّةِ ، فَقَالَ 0 رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ذَاكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ " .
Anas said: A man said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: O best of all creatures! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: That was Abraham ﷺ.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
Hazrat Umair radi Allahu anhu, considering it customary permission, gave meat to a needy person to eat. He did not think that the owner would be displeased. Because in the case of the owner's displeasure, nothing is permissible.
When the matter reached the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he informed the owner that if a servant gives something according to the general custom and practice, then this is permissible, and both (the giver and the owner) receive reward according to their respective positions.
