The Prophet gave a gift in return for a gift
Hadith 201
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ، قَالَتْ : بَعَثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ عَفْرَاءَ بِقِنَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ وَعَلَيْهِ أَجْرٌ مِنْ قِثَّاءِ زُغْبٍ، «وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّ الْقِثَّاءَ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهِ وَعِنْدَهُ حِلْيَةٌ قَدْ قَدِمَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، فَمَلَأَ يَدَهُ مِنْهَا فَأَعْطَانِيهِ»
It is narrated from Sayyida Rabi’ bint Mu’awwidh bin ‘Afra’ (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: Sayyiduna Mu’awwidh bin ‘Afra’ (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me with a tray of fresh dates in which there were also small cucumbers with cotton. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was very fond of cucumber. When I brought them to him, some jewelry had arrived to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from Bahrain, so he took a handful from it and gifted it to me.
