باب فَضْلِ الْمَنِيحَةِ:Chapter: The virute of giving gifts
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ نَهَى فَذَكَرَ خِصَالًا ، وَقَالَ : " مَنْ مَنَحَ مَنِيحَةً ، غَدَتْ بِصَدَقَةٍ ، وَرَاحَتْ بِصَدَقَةٍ صَبُوحِهَا وَغَبُوقِهَا " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) forbade (to do certain things) and then he made a mention of certain habits and said: He who gives a she-camel as a gift, for him is the reward (of the gift) both morning and evening, a reward for drinking milk in the morning and a reward for drinking milk in the evening.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Sabūḥ:
Morning milk.
(2)
Ghabūq:
Evening milk.
Both of these words, due to being substitutes for "charity" (ṣadaqah), will be in the genitive case, or, if functioning as adverbial expressions, in the accusative case.
Benefits and Issues:
To lend an animal to a needy and destitute family so that they may drink its milk temporarily is just as meritorious and rewarding as giving the morning and evening milk in charity (ṣadaqah). Through this, one receives reward both in the morning and in the evening. Similarly, to grant a fruit-bearing tree to a needy household, whether temporarily or permanently, is also a great cause for reward and merit.
