Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Hakam bin Utaybah says that there was a woman among us who had gifted her house, so Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) ordered her to gift its price.

Hazrat Ata was asked that a person has donated his house for Baitullah. He replied: Sell this house and send its money to Makkah, or he himself should come and give its amount in charity in Makkah Mukarramah, or buy animals with it and slaughter them in Makkah, and give their meat in charity.

Ibrahim says that if a person says to his slave, "This is a gift," he said its price will be given as a gift.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Atiq narrates that if a person gifts his slave or maid, then Hazrat Shabi says that its price should be given as a gift, and Hazrat Ata says that a goat should be given as a gift.

Hazrat Hajjaj says that I asked Hazrat Ata: If a person says that a sacrificial animal was gifted to his slave? He replied: In its place, a goat should be offered as a sacrificial animal.

Hasan says that if a person vows to gift his house, he will have to give the expiation for an oath.

Hazrat Tariq bin Abu Murrah narrates that I had taken an oath that if I had intercourse with my wife's slave-girl, then the slave-girl would be a gift for the House of Allah. Then I did have intercourse with her. After that, I asked Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair about it. He said: Buy a camel with her price and then sacrifice it.

Hazrat Hakam says that if a person gives a house as a gift, you said its price will be given as a gift.

Hazrat Ikrimah says that when it is said about something that "this is charity for him," then it is an expiation for an oath, and this is to walk in the paths of Satan (to follow in his footsteps).

Ibrahim says that if a person says that a gift has been given for the pillars of the mosque, then its price or value will be given as a gift, and if he does not find that, then whatever wealth reaches him, he should give that as a gift and offer expiation for his oath.

Ibrahim preferred that when a person gives a gift, he should make it effective (put it into effect).

Hazrat Muhammad bin Qais narrates that I said to Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib, "I have sworn an oath that if I speak to this companion of mine, I will walk to Makkah Mukarramah with this sheet of mine." He said, "Are you regretful about it?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Go and wear your clothes; the Ka'bah has no need of you or your clothes, and say that Saeed has ordered me." Then I went to Hazrat Qasim bin Muhammad, and he said the same thing that Hazrat Saeed had said. Then, when I left him, his messenger came to me and asked, "Do you have a dirham?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Give it in charity and say that Qasim has ordered me."

Ibrahim says that if a person says, "I have given as a gift a sea," meaning a great amount of wealth, but does not specify the amount, he (Ibrahim) said: He will give as a gift whatever he owns.

Hazrat Ata says that there is an expiation for an oath.
