باب إِبَاحَةِ الْهَدِيَّةِ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمُهْدِي مَلَكَهَا بِطَرِيقِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَبَيَانِ أَنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ إِذَا قَبَضَهَا الْمُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ زَالَ عَنْهَا وَصْفُ الصَّدَقَةِ وَحَلَّتْ لِكُلِّ أَحَدٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَتِ الصَّدَقَةُ مُحَرَّمَةً عَلَيْهِ:
Chapter: Gifts are permissible for the Prophet (saws) and Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib, even if the giver acquired it by way of charity. When the receipient takes possession of Charity, it is no longer described as charity, and it is permissible for anyone for whom charity is otherwise unlawful
Sahih Muslim 1075 — Gifts are permissible for the Prophet (saws)
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَحْمِ بَقَرٍ ، فَقِيلَ : هَذَا مَا تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : " هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ " .
'A'isha reported that (once) the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace be upon him,) was presented with beef. It was said (by someone) that it had been given to Barira as sadaqah. Upon this he (the Prophet) said: It is a sadaqah for her and a gift for us.

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : كَانَتْ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلَاثُ قَضِيَّاتٍ ، كَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَصَدَّقُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَتُهْدِي لَنَا ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَكُمْ هَدِيَّةٌ فَكُلُوهُ " ،
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: Three are the decions (of the Shari'ah that we have come to know) through Barira. The people gave her sadaqah and she offered us as gift. We made a mention of it to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , whereupon he said: It is a sadaqah for her and a gift for you; so eat it.

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ،
