3536 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيُّ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقْبَلُ الْهَدِيَّةَ وَيُثِيبُ عَلَيْهَا»

Commentary

It is Sunnah to exchange gifts among friends and relatives. Exchange of gifts strengthens mutual relations and love. If someone is not in a position to reciprocate for a gift, he should acknowledge it with praise and thanks saying "Jazākillāhu khaira (May Allāh reward you with goodness)" (At-Tirmidhī no. 2035) see also no. 4811 as follows.
