Tirmidhi

Hadith Footnote:
At the end of the hadith, the narrator’s words “lam yadhkur Waki‘ and Muhadir ‘an Hisham ‘an abihi ‘an ‘A’ishah” mean that both narrators, Waki‘ and Muhadir, did not connect this hadith from Hisham, from his father, from ‘A’ishah (radi Allahu anha), but rather narrated it mursal (with a missing link) from Hisham.
Tirmidhi and Bazzar have said that only ‘Isa ibn Yunus has narrated this hadith in a connected (musnad) form.
Hafiz has said that the narration of Waki‘ has been recorded by Ibn Abi Shaybah, and I have not found the narration of Muhadir.
Some of the Malikis have considered it obligatory to return a gift (hiba) with compensation based on this hadith, while according to the Hanafis, Shafi‘is, and the majority, it is not obligatory but recommended (mustahabb).
Qastallani (rahimahullah) has said: If a gift (hiba) is given in exchange for a specified and known compensation, then it will be valid like a sale (bay‘), and if the compensation is unknown, then the gift will not be valid.

Hadith Commentary:
The noble character of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) demands that after accepting a gift (hadiyyah), something should be given in return to the one who gave the gift. Furthermore, if the giver of the gift is in need, he may also expect something in return for his gift.

Some scholars have declared giving something in return for a gift to be obligatory, whereas according to the majority of hadith scholars, doing so is recommended (mustahabb), because it is related to magnanimity and high moral character.

There is also a clear indication of this in the Noble Qur’an.

Benefits and Issues:
It is Sunnah and recommended (mustahabb)
that a person should give an appropriate return for a gift (hadiyyah).
This increases love between both parties.
If one is not able to give anything materially,
then he should express abundant gratitude.
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Al-Adab, Hadith: 4811 and what follows) And it is also mentioned in the hadith:
Whoever says to his benefactor, “Jazak Allahu khayran,” has indeed praised him greatly (Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi, Al-Birr wa’s-Silah, Hadith: 2035). The difference between a gift (hadiyyah/‘atiyyah) and a donation (hibah) is that the one who gives a gift
desires to become close to the person to whom he gives the gift, whereas in a donation (hibah) this intention is not present.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه البخاري، الهبة، باب المكافأة في الهبة، حديث:2585.»©Explanation:
➊ Accepting a gift and giving something in return is the Sunnah of the Noble Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In fact, it is mentioned in Al-Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shaybah that he would return a gift in an even better manner.
(al-Musannaf li Ibn Abi Shaybah: 6/551)
➋ If one is not able to reciprocate a gift, then at the very least, one should give the gift of supplicating for the giver by saying: Jazak Allahu khayran (May Allah reward you with goodness).
➌ If someone gives a gift to another with the intention or thought that the other person will certainly give a gift in return, then according to Imam Shafi‘i rahimahullah, this is invalid, while according to the other Imams, it is permissible.
