(ثَلَاثُ هَدَايَا مَحْبُوبَةٌ)
(Three gifts are desirable)
Mishkat al-Masabih 3029 — Three gifts are desirable
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ثَلَاثٌ لَا تُرَدُّ الْوَسَائِدُ وَالدُّهْنُ وَاللَّبَنُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ قِيلَ: أَرَادَ بالدهن الطّيب
Ibn ‘Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, "Three things should not be rejected:cushions, oil (duhn)* and milk.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a gharib tradition. * It is said that by duhn he meant perfume. Duhn is used of oil or grease with which one anoints oneself. The point of the explanation of the meaning is evidently that a kind of scented oil is here intended.
