Chapter: Living on gifts, recommendation to accept them, and the virtue of the giver
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6254 — Living on gifts, recommendation to accept
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى رِزْقًا مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ فَلْيَقْبَلْهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ سَأَلْتُ أَبِي مَا الْإِشْرَافُ قَالَ تَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِكَ سَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيَّ فُلَانٌ سَيَصِلُنِي فُلَانٌ
(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever Allah grants sustenance without him asking for it, he should accept it. Abdullah says: I asked my father, Imam Ahmad: What is meant by "ashraf"? He said: It is when you say in your heart that such-and-such person will send something to me, such-and-such person (by giving me something) will show kindness to me.
